“It is not that you cannot understand it, it is that you cannot compute it.”

“The question is not whether something is wrong with subjectivity. We are embedded in it, so we can only deal with it, or be blind and attempt to ignore it.”

“We shouldn't see ourselves as ‘controllers' of the world, but as ‘actors' in the world.”

“Once you know the rules of the game, you can change them.”

“Objects do not depend on the concepts we have of them.”
