Time is the most important thing to me - how can you do all the things you want to do with such limited time⦠I'm hoping science of life extension makes progress.
In the culture at large, the war over science fiction's creative validity has been long since won, but guardians at the gates of literature, movies, and TV linger unconvinced, even as other genres fitfully transcend critical perceptions of insubstantiality.
The 'science' in 'science fiction' isn't just physics and engineering. It can also be linguistics, anthropology, and psychology.
It is only since linguistics has become more aware of its object of study, i.e. perceives the whole extent of it, that it is evident that this science can make a contribution to a range of studies that will be of interest to almost anyone.
Linguistics is very much a science. It's a human science, one of the human sciences. And it's one of the more interesting human sciences.
Yes - 90% of fantasy is crap. And so is 90% of science fiction and 90% of mystery fiction and 90% of literary fiction.
The public schools tend to teach little kids from when they are very young about the whole universe without God and that God cannot be in science. They are indoctrinating children in an atheistic religious view of things.
We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.
I like solving problems, and science provides a logical way of solving real-life problems.
It may be far in the future, but there's some kind of logical way to get from where we are to where the science fiction is.
For a genre that's about looking to the future, science fiction has sure been looking backwards lately. Nostalgia is what sells best, with readers spending their money on movie tie-in novels and sequels to long-running series.
I was always very interested in science, and I knew that for me, science was a better long-term career than tennis.
My dad is an electrical engineer. So he was always very focused on, you know, teaching his daughters about, you know, science, math, technology. None of us actually became engineers for our careers, but I always had that exposure when I was young, and I just loved playing computer games.
Luckily, even when people are shouting lies, the truth is undamaged. Science doesn't matter what you believe.
American computer science grads often have very little exposure to the human condition. They've rarely had manual labor or service jobs. They grow up in a bubble of privilege lulled into thinking this country is a true meritocracy.
I would say that molecular gastronomy is a field of science. I would - I would say that it's probably lumped under chemistry, maybe. Because cooking, while it has certainly biology and some physics, it's mostly chemistry.
Rationalism and Newtonian science has lured us into dark woods, but a new metaphysics can rescue us.
The idea that science is just some luxury that you'll get around to if you can afford it is regressive to any future a country might dream for itself.
Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence.
When I grew up, I saw the moon landing, and I was fascinated watching them as a child, and that's what really turned me onto space and science fiction, and I started watching things like 'Lost In Space,' and that led me to 'Star Trek,' which was a major influence on my life.
