Index Entry
Politicians:
“The number of scientists today who really know the world could work is something less than one percent. Society doesn’t know the world could work. Politicians haven’t the slightest idea it could work. They really don’t. They’re the most earnest people, and I think we as human beings are putting a horrible load on politicians, who can’t really solve the problems. Their lives are really quite horrible lives. And we’re blaming them, and it really is just that they don’t have the capabilities. So we’re at fault in asking them to solve the problems. I’m perfectly confident that no politician can ever yield to the other politician on the other side; he’d be a traitor and he’d be immediately displaced, because the other politician is waiting to displace him that way. So I do know that every politician can yield to the computer.”
