Nick Harkaway Zitate

In abandoning the understanding that things - services, goods, wars, and houses - have costs, we risk becoming infantilised, incapable of making decisions about government or finance, and perhaps above all about the environment, the wellbeing of the planet upon which we depend and which our children will inherit from us.

Indem wir auf das Verständnis verzichten, dass Dinge - Dienstleistungen, Güter, Kriege und Häuser - Kosten haben, riskieren wir die Infantilisierung, die Unfähigkeit, Entscheidungen in Bezug auf Regierung oder Finanzen zu treffen, und vielleicht vor allem in Bezug auf die Umwelt und das Wohlergehen des Planeten, von dem wir abhängig sind und die unsere Kinder von uns erben werden.

Well, gauge theory is very fundamental to our understanding of physical forces these days. But they are also dependent on a mathematical idea, which has been around for longer than gauge theory has.

To fund major cultural efforts, we must not rely alone on government and foundation patronage; if the farmer can spend for beer, he can pay for good entertainment which he can understand, which he can identify with and which will fortify his spirit.

We will have to make a decision, as we go into new environments outside of earth, whether we want to drag along with us all our pathogens. We can, or we can't - it's up to us - but I consider that part of genome engineering is how we interact with the huge part of our genome which is our microbiome.

The era during which only governments could put hardware on the Moon is coming to an end. There are 26 private teams competing for the $30 million Google Lunar X-Prize - to be awarded for sending a robotic spacecraft to this nearby world that can roam at least 500 meters, and send back data such as a photo.
