Paco Ahlgren:

Everything in the universe is either knowledge or potential knowledge. Every decision we make is the manifestation of ideas -- progress is generally defined as the growth of knowledge. And while knowledge can be both helpful and deadly. Once it exists the only way to control it is not to control it. That's true simplicity. If you try to swim up a river, eventually the river will win. The more we try to defy reality, the more dramatic the repercussions will be.
