2005.Dec.03 Sat "Some of my smartest graduate students get freaked out when they discover what our lives are really like. [...] They think science is about asking questions and devising experiments that answer them. They think there is a map to knowledge they can follow by just working hard. But the truth is that we often don't even know what the right questions are. There is no map. Some of my students get so disoriented by this that they have to quit and do something else." -- Jerry Leob, quoted in Rebuilt: how becoming part computer made me more human by Michael Chorost. |
