More quotes by Kevin Kelly
It's more along the lines of raising a child: we train the system to a certain range of behaviors that we find most useful. But then we let it go, because we don't want to have to be babysitting it the whole time.
Kevin Kelly
Since a relationship involves two members investing in it, its value increases twice as fast as one's investment.
Kevin Kelly
The only organization capable of unprejudiced growth, or unguided learning, is a network. All othertopologies limit what can happen
Kevin Kelly
In a broad systems sense, an organism's environment is indistinguishable from the organism itself.
Kevin Kelly
We are infected by our own misunderstandin g of how our own minds work.
Kevin Kelly
The most certain thing you can say about the environment tomorrow is that it probably is going to be just like today, for the most part.

Each system is trying to anticipate change in the environment.
Kevin Kelly
This is actually a very important principle that science is learning about large systems like evolution and that futurists are learning about anticipating human society: just because a future scenario is plausible doesn't mean we can get there from here.
Kevin Kelly
We're just at the beginning of the beginning of all these kind of changes. There's a sense that all the big things have happened, but relatively speaking, nothing big has happened yet. In 20 years from now we'll look back and say, 'Well, nothing really happened in the last 20 years.'
Kevin Kelly
We tend to think of the mind of an organization residing in the CEO and the organization's top managers, perhaps with the help of outside consultants that they call in. But that is not really how an organization thinks.
Kevin Kelly
A brain is a society of very small, simple modules that cannot be said to be thinking, that are not smart in themselves. But when you have a network of them together, out of that arises a kind of smartness.
Kevin Kelly
When a system is in turbulence, the turbulence is not just out there in the environment, but is a part of the organization or organism that you are looking at.
Kevin Kelly
In the context of your dreams,knowledge will always gives you enough reasons not to act. Act regardless and execute xceptionally
Kevin Kelly
The organization and the environment are in concert.
Kevin Kelly
A single thread of self generation ties the cosmos, the bios, and the technos together into one creation. Humans are not the culmination of this trajectory but an intermediary, smack in the middle between the born and the made... The arc of complexity and open-ended creation in the last four billion years is nothing compared to what lies ahead.
