Daniel Dennett Running Quotations

In the long run I certainly hope information is the cure for fanaticism, but I am afraid information is more the cause than the cure.

In fact, if you are faced with the prospect of running across an open field in which lightning bolts are going to be a problem, you are much better off if their timing and location are determined by something, since then they may be predictable by you, and hence avoidable. Determinism is the friend, not the foe, of those who dislike inevitability.
