Quote of the Day… not actually daily, but whenever I encounter one I think worth sharing and there are not too many in sequence. I like quotes as they frequently distill a piece of wisdom into a brief passage, or make other points very succinctly – such as the witticisms of Oscar Wilde.
“We have a deficit of wonder. I think it’s because of computers. When I ask people questions now, they get on their computer – `Gimme a few minutes and I’ll let you know….’ And I’m, like, ‘Nooooo!’ I want them to wonder about it, man! I don’t want to know the answer. I just want them to wonder about it.” — Tom Waits
Not everything worthwhile is coded in 1s and 0s. And an AI generated answer certainly takes the mysticism away and any opportunity for reflection on a subject… IMHO. Life does not come with a technical manual, or at least I hope so. Although reflecting on that last sentence, humans have been trying to write such a document for millennia and fighting about which is the correct document.
I do not know if Tom Waits is an acquired taste or not, but sometimes, depending on my mood, his music is all that will do. Out of curiosity, I went and counted. I have 11 of his albums.
