Science is the business of generating testable hypotheses.
Michael Crichton
Image
Theories are just fantasies. And they change.
Michael Crichton

Power is neither male or female.
Michael Crichton
Image
The fact that the patients were complex human beings with a rich life beyond the hospital never really sank into the consciousness of the residents. Because they had no rich lives beyond the hospital, they assumed no one else did, either. In the end, what they lacked was not medical knowledge but ordinary life experience.

To apply general tools to specific problems is to fail.
Michael Crichton

We think we know what we are doing. We have always thought so.
Michael Crichton

We need to get environmentalism out of the sphere of religion. We need to stop the mythic fantasies, and we need to stop the doomsday predictions. We need to start doing hard science instead.
Michael Crichton

Although personally, I think cyberspace means the end of our species.
Michael Crichton

We think we know what we are doing. We have always thought so. We never seem to acknowledge that we have been wrong in the past, and so might be wrong in the future. Instead, each generation writes off earlier errors as the result of bad thinking by less able minds - and then confidently embarks on fresh errors of its own.

This fascination with computer models is something I understand very well. Richard Feynmann called it a disease. I fear he is right.
Michael Crichton
Image
In other centuries, human beings wanted to be saved, or improved, or freed, or educated. But in our century, they want to be entertained. The great fear is not of disease or death, but of boredom. A sense of time on our hands, a sense of nothing to do. A sense that we are not amused.
Michael Crichton
Image
In science, the old men are usually wrong. But in politics, the old men are wise, counsel caution, and in the end are often right.
Michael Crichton
Image
Having wallowed in a delightful orgy of anti-French sentiment, having deplored and applauded the villains themselves, having relished the foibles of bankers, railwaymen, diplomats, and police, the public was now ready to see its faith restored in the basic soundness of banks, railroads, government, and police.

They believed that prediction was just a function of keeping track of things. If you knew enough, you could predict anything. That's been cherished scientific belief since Newton.' And?' Chaos theory throws it right out the window.
Michael Crichton
Image
They didn't understand what they were doing. I'm afraid that will be on the tombstone of the human race.
Michael Crichton
Image
All human behavior has a reason. All behavior is solving a problem.

Story of our species...everyone knows it's coming, but not so soon.

At the edge of chaos, unexpected outcomes occur. The risk to survival is severe.

If you gamble long enough, you'll always lose -- the gambler is always ruined.
