"Computers seem a little too adaptively flexible, like the strange natives, odd societies, and head cases we study in the social sciences. There's more opposable thumb in the digital world than I care for; it's awfully close to human."

Quote_1.png
P. J. O'Rourke

P. J. O'Rourke

Philosophy

P. J. O'Rourke
"I come from Toledo, Ohio, a town that has been hurt badly by the shift of the automobile business towards Japan. And yet I remember how the car workers lived in the neighborhood that I grew up in. My father was a car salesman, and I remember how we lived. I remember how modestly we lived."

Politics

P. J. O'Rourke
"The more aspects of life that can be moved from private reign to public realm, the better it is for politics."

Politics
