Eckhart Tolle Quotes

Although technology is proceeding at a dizzying pace, I believe that the human mind will always have control of itself. And since the human mind has a degree of infinity and imagination unlikely to be matched by a machine for a very, very long time, I don't think that we will become the machines of the machines.

The tools of science and technology amplified the effects of the madness of the egoic mind. So the survival of the planet began to be threatened, and with it the survival of humanity.

I'm a computer scientist by training. I'm also the author of three books, all of which endorse the use of biotechnology to improve the human condition. In the most recent of these, 'The Infinite Resource,' I talk about the power of innovation to save the world.

People are spending way too much time thinking about climate change, way too little thinking about AI.

Technology is the means by which we have decommissioned natural selection and are seizing control. We are no longer to be victims of some blind evolutionary process where sentient beings are massacred by entropy.

I mean, technology is amoral. It has no morality.

The most important and urgent problems of the technology of today are no longer the satisfactions of the primary needs or of archetypal wishes, but the reparation of the evils and damages by the technology of yesterday.

I make short films, little documentaries, about the co-evolution of humans and technology.

Television is the triumph of machine over people.

If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.

Technology is not destiny.

I am not a Luddite. I am suspicious of technology. I am perfectly aware of its benefits, but I also try to pay attention to some of the negative effects.

Our technological powers increase, but the side effects and potential hazards also escalate.

Many people recognize that technology often comes with unintended and undesirable side effects.

Technology causes problems as well as solves problems. Nobody has figured out a way to ensure that, as of tomorrow, technology won't create problems. Technology simply means increased power, which is why we have the global problems we face today.

Technology is an interesting subject, people thinking: how much good, and how much bad, does it inherently carry?

Technological advances have brought our nation to a point where momentous public choices are inescapable.

All these remarkable new technologies are starting to make people very uncomfortable with the whole process of science.

We cannot blindly embrace the benefits of technology.

Any mechanical invention whatsoever has been more harmful to humanity than a century of war.

All our inventions have endowed material forces with intellectual life, and degraded human life into a material force.

Technology will move faster than governments, so don't legislate before you understand the consequences.

All attempts to adapt our ethical code to our situation in the technological age have failed.

Man has mounted science, and is now run away with. I firmly believe that before many centuries more, science will be the master of men. The engines he will have invented will be beyond his strength to control. Someday science may have the existence of mankind in its power, and the human race commit suicide, by blowing up the world.

With science, technology and globalization, man is changing the world faster than his evolution can keep up with the new dangers.
