Power Corrupts, And Obsolete Power

Everything Is Deeply Intertwingled.

The Paperless Office Is Possible, But Not By Imitating Paper. Note That The Horseless Carriage Did Not Work By Imitating Horses.

The World Is Not Yet Finished, But Everyone Is Behaving As If Everything Was Known. This Is Not True. In Fact, The Computer World As We Know It Is Based Upon One Tradition That Has Been Waddling Along For The Last Fifty Years, Growing In Size And Ungainliness, And Is Essentially Defining The Way We Do Everything. My View Is That Today’s Computer World Is Based On Techie Misunderstandings Of Human Thought And Human Life. And The Imposition Of Inappropriate Structures Throughout The Computer Is The Imposition Of Inappropriate Structures On The Things We Want To Do In The Human World.

They Were Saying Computers Deal With Numbers. This Was Absolutely Nonsense. Computers Deal With Arbitrary Information Of Any Kind.

History Is Fractal. The Closer You Look, The More Complicated, Yet Always Repeating Patterns.
