If you want to look at the state of humans you should look at the state of animals first. People are choosing whether or not they can feed an animal and their family. And every shelter coast-to-coast is stuffed.

Climate change is happening humans are causing it and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.

Ultimately we may still ask why can't humans design a perfect society?

We have abolished the death penalty for humans so why should it continue for animals?

Nothing defines humans better than their willingness to do irrational things in the pursuit of phenomenally unlikely payoffs. This is the principle behind lotteries dating and religion.

But my father was also the one who told me I needed to clean up my mouth or I'd never find a man. What's very important to him is manners. Show up on time. Always send thank-you letters. He is one of the more thoughtful humans I've ever met. He's a great man and a very good dad.

I think laughter may be a form of courage. As humans we sometimes stand tall and look into the sun and laugh and I think we are never more brave than when we do that.

The big question society will have to answer is whether it wants computers thinking like humans.

I don't look at computers as opponents. For me it is much more interesting to beat humans.

People assume that computers will do everything that humans do. Not good. People are different from each other and they are all really different from computers.
