"Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards." ― Aldous Huxley Topic(s): Technology Tags: merely, progress, provided, technological More From Aldous Huxley "From their experience or from the recorded experience of others (history), men learn only what their passions and their metaphysical prejudices allow them to learn." "It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one’s life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than ‘try to be a little kinder.’" "A man may be a pessimistic determinist before lunch and an optimistic believer in the will’s freedom after it." More In Technology "I am a technological activist. I have a political agenda. I am in favor of basic human rights: to free speech, to use any information and technology, to purchase and use recreational drugs, to enjoy and purchase so-called ‘vices’, to be free of intruders, and to privacy."― Bram Cohen "I feel drawn to experiment with ways that technology can interact with notions of intimacy, because so much of technology is done in a way that’s very cold and has such an opposite effect."― Jaron Lanier "We believe in individual initiative, personal responsibility, opportunity, freedom, small government, the Constitution. These principles, these American principles are key to getting our economy back to being successful and leading the world."― Mitt Romney
