We are infected by our own misunderstandin g of how our own minds work.
Kevin Kelly

Kevin Kelly
Clearly, we are self-made. We are the first technology. We are part inventor and part the invented
Kevin Kelly
Technology is anything that was invented after you were born.
Kevin Kelly
Technology is all the accumulated usefulness that our minds invent.
Kevin Kelly
Each organism's environment, for the most part, consists of other organisms.
Kevin Kelly
Humans are the reproductive organs of technology. We multiply manufactured artifacts and spread ideas and memes.

Evolution doesn't care about what makes sense it cares about what works
Kevin Kelly

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
The young are always coming up with the good ideas it's because they waste time. They follow their passion and do something, not looking for a payoff, just doing what's interesting.
Kevin Kelly
Willingness to learn is important, but willingness to act on what you learn is critical.
Kevin Kelly
I work in a you scratch my back, and I'll stab yours kind of a place.
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
Technology is anything that doesn't work yet.
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
The current understanding was that it was impossible to predict how something would evolve because it was a very turbulent environment full of things interacting with each other.
