Religion can make it worse. Are you supposing that if people were encouraged to believe in a transcendent reality and to be encouraged by grand rituals and music and preaching to love their neighbors then they would put jealousy and frustration aside?

Those who are believed to be most abject and humble are usually most ambitious and envious.

I believe Business Objects is on the cusp of becoming a multi-billion-dollar sales company. There is tremendous growth potential for business intelligence.

Of course I believe in aliens. I think it's very egocentric to think that there's nothing else with intelligence in the whole universe.

People don't want to believe that technology is broken. Pharmaceuticals robotics artificial intelligence nanotechnology - all these areas where the progress has been a lot more limited than people think. And the question is why.

I believe that reforming our intelligence community is one of the most important things that we can do in order to ensure that our country is in fact safer stronger and wiser.
