I am not a scientist. I am, rather, an impresario of scientists.

You need virtual reality to understand high level science or high level math. It's very helpful to explain third and fourth dimensional things that people are constantly addressing in quantum physics. But, as soon as you're creating an avatar, and you can live and you can start to feel sensations on VR, that has gone too far.

In a few years, all great physical constants will have been approximately estimated, and that the only occupation which will be left to men of science will be to carry these measurements to another place of decimals.

Like all science, psychology is knowledge; and like science again, it is knowledge of a definite thing, the mind.

Software Engineering might be science; but that's not what I do. I'm a hacker, not an engineer.

I grew up reading science fiction.

Virtual reality, all the A.I. work we do, all the robotics work we do - we're as close to realizing science fiction as it gets.
