More quotes by Freeman Dyson
I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond the scale of our comprehension.
Freeman Dyson
We won't really understand the brain until we can make models of it which are analog rather than digital, which nobody seems to be trying very much.
Freeman Dyson
Most of the papers which are submitted to the Physical Review are rejected, not because it is impossible to understand them, but because it is possible. Those which are impossible to understand are usually published.
Freeman Dyson
If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.
Freeman Dyson
When the great innovation appears, it will almost certainly be in muddled, incomplete and confusing form. ... For any speculation which does not at first glance look crazy, there is no hope.
Freeman Dyson
I think that what the machines can do, of course, is wonderful, but it's not the same as what the brain can do.
Freeman Dyson
Science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.
Freeman Dyson
When I listen to the public debates about climate change, I am impressed by the enormous gaps in our knowledge, the sparseness of our observations and the superficiality of our theories.
Freeman Dyson
As finite creatures who think and feel, we can create islands of meaning in the sea of information.
Freeman Dyson
Humanity looks to me like a magnificent beginning but not the final word.
Freeman Dyson
For me, science is just a bunch of tools - it's like playing the violin.
Freeman Dyson
The idea that God may be approached and understood through intellectual analysis is uniquely Christian... It is probably not an accident that modern science grew explosively in Christian Europe and left the rest of the world behind.
Freeman Dyson
Mind and intelligence are woven into the fabric of our universe in a way that altogether surpasses our understanding.
Freeman Dyson
CO2 is so beneficial...it would be crazy to try to reduce it
Freeman Dyson
The ground of science was littered with the corpses of dead unified theories.
Freeman Dyson
The technologies which have had the most profound effects on human life are usually simple.
Freeman Dyson
Younger people have so many opportunities. I don't see any pessimism among them.
Freeman Dyson
The laws of nature are constructed in such a way as to make the universe as interesting as possible.
Freeman Dyson
In religion, you're supposed to be somehow in touch with something deep and full of mysteries.
Freeman Dyson
If you're in the business world, that's what's expected: You should go bust and then start again on something else. So it's a much more relaxed kind of a culture. It's also competitive, but not in such a vicious way. I think the academic world is actually much more destructive of young people.
