Humans Quotes

The most important thing about global warming is this. Whether humans are responsible for the bulk of climate change is going to be left to the scientists, but it’s all of our responsibility to leave this planet in better shape for the future generations than we found it Picture Quote #1

The essential thing we need to understand is that the climate crisis is not some future threat, but a very present peril, the biggest one humans have ever encountered. Until we understand that, we’ll dawdle Picture Quote #1

I wrote ‘Airborn’ after completing three books about bats. I loved my bats, but what a treat it was to write about humans again. They could eat food other than midges and mosquitoes, they wore clothing, they slept in beds - all this struck me as wonderfully novel Picture Quote #1

Cognitive neuroscience, and social theorists from Weber to Bourdieu, have recognized that humans act, most of the time, habitually, not reflectively. Both at intrastate and inter-states levels, habits play critical roles in mitigating uncertainty, providing a sense of order, and entrench patterns of cooperation or enmity Picture Quote #1

Of course, Minneapolis, we think, ‘Oh well, it’s cold there, lethally cold.’ But the reality is you adapt to weather... Humans are consummately adaptable creatures Picture Quote #1

We have our phones right by our beds, right next to us in our most exposed, vulnerable moments. And yet the government could have been collecting information from our phones at any moment. I think that basically as humans, we feel that’s a violation Picture Quote #1

At the end of October 4 in 1957, when I was coming back from sea duty in the South Pacific, Sputnik went up. I realized that humans would be right behind robot aircraft or spacecraft even though I really had no plans of being in aviation or a professional aviator and certainly not in the military Picture Quote #1

Coming to terms with our true natures and who we really are has always been a fascination to humans. I know it fascinates me Picture Quote #1

Humans are a social species more than any other, and in order to build a community, which for some reason humans have to do in order to live, we have to solve the communication problem. Language is the tool that was invented to solve that problem Picture Quote #1

We write in ways that, we generally hope, reflect real life, or at least look familiar to humans. And in life, recurring themes are a recurring theme. We never quite conquer a pet vice or a relationship pattern or a communication habit. We’re haunted by our particular demons Picture Quote #1

Learning in a face-to-face human community, as humans have evolved to do over hundreds of thousands of years, may always be the ideal - especially in an endeavor that is as relationship-driven as business Picture Quote #1

Humans also tend to find community to be pleasurable, and within the boundaries of community relationships, words - often ironic and self-deprecating - are always spoken that take on other meanings when uttered by others Picture Quote #1

In the past, Google has used teams of humans to ‘read’ its street address images - in essence, to render images into actionable data. But using neural network technology, the company has trained computers to extract that data automatically - and with a level of accuracy that meets or beats human operators Picture Quote #1

There are so many unspeakable tragedies - around the globe - everyday. I just hope that we, as humans, don’t lose our compassion for others Picture Quote #1

The cat has complete emotional honesty - an attribute not often found in humans Picture Quote #1

The archetype of all humans, their ideal image, is the computer, once it has liberated itself from its creator, man. The computeris the essence of the human being. In the computer, man reaches his completion Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been interested in technology, but specifically how we can use machines to engage the imagination. I started using computers when I was young and was fascinated by creating rules and instructions that allow a computer to engage in a dialogue with humans. The stories found in the data all around us can do just that Picture Quote #1

In a movie, it’s often important to have aliens whose gestures and facial expressions can be ‘read’ by humans. And in the days before sophisticated computer animation, most extraterrestrial bit players were guys in rubber suits. Such practical considerations forced Hollywood’s hand when it came to aliens - they look like us for good reasons Picture Quote #1

Of all the inventions of humans, the computer is going to rank near or at the top as history unfolds and we look back. It is the most awesome tool that we have ever invented. I feel incredibly lucky to be at exactly the right place in Silicon Valley, at exactly the right time, historically, where this invention has taken form Picture Quote #1

When humans team up with computers to play chess, the humans who do best are not necessarily the strongest players. They’re the ones who are modest and who know when to listen to the computer. Often, what the human adds is knowledge of when the computer needs to look more deeply Picture Quote #1

I think our problems are inherently unsolvable. We need to change our genetic make-up or create computers that will think us out of it. I don’t think humans are able to deal with what we have Picture Quote #1

I’ve come to a view that humans will continue to do what we do well, and that computers will continue to do what they do very well, and the two will coexist, but in different spaces Picture Quote #1

I don’t look at computers as opponents. For me it is much more interesting to beat humans Picture Quote #1

Do what’s good for humans, modeled on how humans already do things; ignore what’s convenient for computers Picture Quote #1

I think vampires are different from human beings, but they’re sentenced to eternity on this planet. They have the same confusion about love and permanence, integrity, and denial. These qualities really are the same in vampire characters as in humans. I think they’re universal themes Picture Quote #1

Non-human primates spend hours a day grooming each other. And with humans, touching is also important. It’s a way to form bonds and connect in modern society. But you can also speed up the use of conscious purposes once you’re aware of that, and it can be manipulated Picture Quote #1

The theme that runs through all my books is connection. Connection - physical and non-physical - with other humans, and connection with nature are necessary for our well-being. Without it, we are depressed, lonely, and fail to thrive Picture Quote #1

Most humans are but beasts and bitches, till the One in All - this unconscious seeking, and conscious finding of it - ‘em itches Picture Quote #1

What’s better, I wonder - to be a toy for the humans, or to control your own destiny , even if the only way to do so is suicide? Picture Quote #1

I don’t think that we really know our animals. We think we do because we’re humans, and we think we can control things like that. We don’t know anybody that we love. It could be a girlfriend or a cat. I think we just have to be at peace with that Picture Quote #1
