Each system is trying to anticipate change in the environment.
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.
Kevin Kelly

Kevin Kelly
Changing things from the top down works when things are stable.
Kevin Kelly

Kevin Kelly

Kevin Kelly
We are infected by our own misunderstandin g of how our own minds work.
Kevin Kelly
Organizations get invested into a particular product. And sometimes the best thing is to stop making that product, even though it's profitable, because it has optimized at a local peak.
Kevin Kelly
The way to build a complex system that works is to build it from very simple systems that work.
Kevin Kelly
Since a relationship involves two members investing in it, its value increases twice as fast as one's investment.
Kevin Kelly
Technology is all the accumulated usefulness that our minds invent.
Kevin Kelly
What technology is really about is better ways to evolve. That is what we call an 'infinite game.' ... A finite game is played to win, and an infinite game is played to keep playing.
Kevin Kelly
Willingness to learn is important, but willingness to act on what you learn is critical.
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.
