More From Max Frisch

Fate is a misplaced retreat. many people rationalize an unexplained event as fate and shrug their shoulders when it occurs. but that is not what fate is. the world operates as a series of circles that are invisible, for they extend to the upper air. fate is where these circles cut to earth. since we cannot see them, do not know their content, and have no sense of their width, it is impossible to predict when these cuts will slice into our reality. when this happens, we call it fate. fate is not a chance event but one that is inevitable, we are simply blind to its nature and time.
Cutting Fate Reality
I believe in providence and i believe providence to be just. therefore i believe that providence always rewards the strong, the industrious, and the upright.

It has been pointed out already that no knowledge of probabilities, less in degree than certainty, helps us to know what conclusions are true, and that there is no direct relation between the truth of a proposition and its probability. probability begins and ends with probability.
Truth Math Degrees
The errors of definitions multiply themselves according as the reckoning proceeds; and lead men into absurdities, which at last they see but cannot avoid, without reckoning anew from the beginning.

A resource-based economy is in the application of the methods of science with human concern and environmental concern. if we used the scientific method throughout the world, the probability of war drops to zero. the probability of human suffering disappears. deprivation, poverty, crime - all those things tend to disappear because there's no basis. i'm strictly concerned with the environment that people are raised in and if that environment is altered, so will behaviors be altered.

The issue, as correctly emphasized by carl sagan, is the probability of the evolution of high intelligence and an electronic civilization on an inhabited world. once we have life (and almost surely it will be very different from life on earth), what is the probability of its developing a lineage with high intelligence? on earth, among millions of lineages of organisms and perhaps 50 billion speciation events, only one led to high intelligence; this makes me believe in its utter improbability.

I believe that in the end the abolition of war, the maintenance of world peace, the adjustment of international questions by pacific means will come through the force of public opinion, which controls nations and peoples.

First, what is a revolution? sometimes i'm inclined to believe that many of our people are using this word "revolution" loosely, without taking careful consideration [of] what this word actually means, and what its historic characteristics are. when you study the historic nature of revolutions, the motive of a revolution, the objective of a revolution, and the result of a revolution, and the methods used in a revolution, you may change words. you may devise another program. you may change your goal and you may change your mind.

I cannot believe in the immortality of the soul. no, all this talk of an existence for us, as individuals, beyond the grave is wrong. it is born of our tenacity of life - our desire to go on living - our dread of coming to an end.
