"A man once jumped from the top floor of a burning house in which many members of his family had already perished. He managed to save his life; but as he was falling he hit a person standing down below and broke that person's legs and arms. The jumping man had no choice; yet to the man with the broken limbs he was the cause of his misfortune. If both behaved rationally, they would not become enemies."

-- Isaac Deutscher

But a person plus a robot or a fleet of robots could do things that would be really useful.”

It's one of the great bonuses of my job in that I get to meet so many people and experience different cultures and it would be hard not to be inspired.”
