On Society and Science

“Science is a bridge. It allows us to reach across the vastness of space and time, but it cannot tell us what to do when we get to the other side.” (p. 210)

On Decision Making (The Dark Forest)

“The universe is a dark forest. Every civilization is an armed hunter stalking through the trees like a ghost… any life that exposes its existence will be swiftly wiped out.” (p. 384)
