Quotes by Jonathan Simons (?)

“We find ourselves in a historical moment of pervasive mediocrity. Fuelled by basic human drives - flights from death and boredom - the new technologies, bright and all consuming, increasingly blur the lines between direct experience and representation. A photograph of an apple is not food and the Internet has neither scent nor texture.”
― Jonathan Simons, The Analog Sea Review: Number One

“If we want to compare a computer algorithm with nature, we must consider that a lot of the algorithms that are dictating international issues, politics, capitalism, culture and ultimately the content of human attention, were basically programmed by young men fresh out of Stanford, Harvard and MIT. So the experience behind these algorithms is basically puberty and then some, whereas the experience behind nature goes all the way back to the big bang.”

“If you look at human thinking in terms of determinism, then you could say that the human mind is an algorithm, no different than a computer. But in my personal thinking, there are two profound differences: a computer algorithm is not curious, and a computer algorithm doesn't feel.”
