More From Ernst Haas

Extrapolated, technology wants what life wants: increasing efficiency increasing opportunity increasing emergence increasing complexity increasing diversity increasing specialization increasing ubiquity increasing freedom increasing mutualism increasing beauty increasing sentience increasing structure increasing evolvability
Technology Opportunity Ubiquity
In olden times when there was a war, it was a human-to-human confrontation. the victor in battle would directly see the blood and suffering of the defeated enemy. nowadays, it is much more terrifying because a person in an office can push a button and kill millions of people and never see the human tragedy that he or she has created. the mechanization of war, the mechanization of human conflict, poses an increasing threat to peace.

Anthropology... has always been highly dependent upon photography... as the use of still photography - and moving pictures - has become increasingly essential as a part of anthropological methods, the need for photographers with a disciplined knowledge of anthropology and for anthropologists with training in photography has increased. we expect that in the near future sophisticated training in photography will be a requirement for all anthropologists. (1962)

Photography today is accomplishing a lofty mission in which every german should collaborate by buying a camera. the german people is ahead of every other in the technical domain and, thanks to its exceptional qualities, the small camera has conquered the whole world... much is at stake here from the point of view of popular consumer goods and, furthermore, photography has a particularly important political role to play. (addressing the berlin photography fair, 1933)

With photography, everything is in the eye and these days i feel young photographers are missing the point a bit. people always ask about cameras but it doesn't matter what camera you have. you can have the most modern camera in the world but if you don't have an eye, the camera is worthless. young people know more about modern cameras and lighting than i do. when i started out in photography i didn't own an exposure meter - i couldn't , they didn't exist! i had to guess.

In a sense, every tool is a machine--the hammer, the ax, and the chisel. and every machine is a tool. the real distinction is between one man using a tool with his hands and producing an object that shows at every stage the direction of his will and the impression of his personality; and a machine which is producing, without the intervention of a particular man, objects of a uniformity and precision that show no individual variation and have no personal charm. the problem is to decide whether the objects of machine production can possess the essential qualities of art.

Tyranny is always better organized than freedom.
Teaching Libertarian Party Liberty
Solitude is the surest nurse of all prurient passions, and a girl in the hurry of preparation, or tumult of gaiety, has neither inclination nor leisure to let tender expressions soften or sink into her heart. the ball, the show, are not the dangerous places: no, 'tis the private friend, the kind consoler, the companion of the easy vacant hour, whose compliance with her opinions can flatter her vanity, and whose conversation can sooth, without ever stretching her mind, that is the lover to be feared: he who buzzes in her ear at court, or at the opera, must be contented to buzz in vain.
