What was “grokking”? He had been using the word for a week—and he didn’t grok it.

Every species, except the human, chose immediate, short-range success by means of specialization. But specialization always leads into blind alleys. It is only by remaining precariously generalized that an organism can advance towards that rational intelligence which is its compensation for not having a body and instincts perfectly adapted to one particular kind of environment.

People always tend to help others just so that they can feel better than what they really are

Things look dim to old folks: they'd need have some young eyes about 'em, to let 'em know the world's the same as it used to be.
