You want to favor systems that benefit from error, disorder, variability and things like that. You want to favor these systems and unfortunately, when - there's something I call the Soviet Illusion.

We are unconscious of most of our body's processes, thank goodness, because we'd screw it up if we weren't.

You can call this direction progress or by some other name.

There exists a black kingdom which the eyes of man avoid because its landscape fails signally to flatter them.

Our capitol punishment system is haunted by the demon of error- error in determining guilt, error in determining who among the guilty deserves to die... The legislation couldn't reform it.
