More From Alan Perlis

As words are not the things we speak about, and structure is the only link between them, structure becomes the only content of knowledge. if we gamble on verbal structures that have no observable empirical structures, such gambling can never give us any structural information about the world. therefore such verbal structures are structurally obsolete, and if we believe in them, they induce delusions or other semantic disturbances.
Faith Believe Gambling
Within a social structure, a familial structure, or a cultural structure of various kinds, there is a substitute for actual freedom. i mean, actual freedom is a very abstract notion; we have no idea what it means, except within a context - freedom to do what? so within these social structures, freedom becomes defined as power, your ability to make choices, and the power relationship within a family, any family.
Mean Choices Kind
The most important thing is that man should be the measure of all structures, including economic structures, and not that man be made to measure for those structures. the most important thing is not to lose sight of personal relationships - i.e., the relationships between man and his co-workers, between subordinates and their superiors, between man and his work, between this work and its consequences.
Men Sight Important

Taken Mean Science
One of the nice things about looking at a bear is that you know it spends 100 per cent of every minute of every day being a bear. it doesn't strive to become a better bear. it doesn't go to sleep thinking, "i wasn't really a very good bear today". they are just 100 per cent bear, whereas human beings feel we're not 100 per cent human, that we're always letting ourselves down. we're constantly striving towards something, to some fulfilment
Nice Sleep Thinking
Let's look at lending, where they're using big data for the credit side. and it's just credit data enhanced, by the way, which we do, too. it's nothing mystical. but they're very good at reducing the pain points. they can underwrite it quicker using - i'm just going to call it big data, for lack of a better term: "why does it take two weeks? why can't you do it in 15 minutes?"
