The same way a compact disk isn't responsible for what's recorded on it, that's how we are. you're about as free to act as a programmed computer. you're about as one-of-a-kind as a dollar bill.

The Same Way A Compact Disk Isn't

Chuck Palahniuk
The same way a compact disk isn't responsible for what's recorded on it, that's how we are. you're about as free to act as a programmed computer. you're about as one-of-a-kind as a dollar bill.

More From Chuck Palahniuk

You don't know who the next group is that's unpopular. the bill of rights isn't for the prom queen. the bill of rights isn't for the high school quarterback. the bill of rights is for the least among us. the bill of rights is for minorities. the bill of rights is for those who have minority opinions.

If the nation can issue a dollar bond it can issue a dollar bill. the element that makes the bond good makes the bill good also. the difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets the money broker collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%. whereas the currency, the honest sort provided by the constitution pays nobody but those who contribute in some useful way. it is absurd to say our country can issue bonds and cannot issue currency. both are promises to pay, but one fattens the usurer and the other helps the people.

Back in 1960, the paper dollar and the silver dollar both were the same value. they circulated next to each other. today? the paper dollar has lost 95% of its value, while the silver dollar is worth $34, and produced a 2-3 times rise in real value. since we left the gold standard in 1971, both gold and silver have become superior inflation hedges.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

The value of a dollar is to buy just things; a dollar goes on increasing in value with all the genius and all the virtue of the world. a dollar in a university is worth more than a dollar in a jail; in a temperate, schooled, law-abiding community than in some sink of crime, where dice, knives, and arsenic are in constant play.

I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. when it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. of course, the paying customers got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. we began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. i don't think we are. i think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. i hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun.
