I think that the artificial-intelligence people are making a lot of noise recently, claiming that artificial intelligence is making huge progress and we're going to be outstripped by the machines.
Freeman Dyson

Of course, long-distance running has to do with the fact that we're hunters.
Freeman Dyson
Image
I am acutely aware of the fact that the marriage between mathematics and physics, which was so enormously fruitful in past centuries, has recently ended in divorce.

Nothing is boring if you look at carefully.

It makes very little sense to believe the output of the climate models.
Freeman Dyson
Image
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
Image
It is our task, both in science and in society at large, to prove the conventional wisdom wrong and to make our unpredictable dreams come true
Freeman Dyson
Image
Science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.
Freeman Dyson
Image
Computer models of the climate....[are] a very dubious business if you don't have good inputs.
Freeman Dyson
Image
There are two different ways of looking at the universe and it's the same universe with two different windows. The science window gives you a view of the world, and the religion window gives you a totally different view. You can't look at both of them at the same time, but they're both true.

CO2 is so beneficial...it would be crazy to try to reduce it
