人类对变化过敏。他们喜欢说,“我们一直都是这样做的。”我试图与之抗争。这就是为什么我的墙上有一个逆时针运行的时钟。
The universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine.

Is there any relief from some of thesepressures that I've been outlining? I think there is. I just want to turn to afew of them. Let's take meritocracy. This idea that everybody deserves to getwhere they get to, I think it's a crazy idea, completely crazy. I will support any politician of Left and Right, with any halfway-decent meritocratic idea; I am a meritocrat in that sense. But I think it's insane to believe that we will ever make a society that is genuinely meritocratic; it's an impossible dream.
