Kevin Kelly quotes
" A brain is a society of very small, simple modules that cannot be said to be thinking, that are not smart in themselves. But when you have a network of them together, out of that arises a kind of smartness. "

Kevin Kelly
" All imaginable futures are not equally possible. "

Kevin Kelly
" An organization is a set of relationships that are persistent over time. "

Kevin Kelly
" An organization's intelligence is distributed to the point of being ubiquitous. "

Kevin Kelly
" An organization's reason for being, like that of any organism, is to help the parts that are in relationship to each other, to be able to deal with change in the environment. "

Kevin Kelly
" And they discovered something very interesting: when it comes to walking, most of the ant's thinking and decision-making is not in its brain at all. It's distributed. It's in its legs. "

Kevin Kelly
" Basins of attraction, of self organization, show up as well in our complex social environment, in human organizations. Here again, while we cannot predict the result of any given input, we can say that it will likely fall within one of several areas. "

Kevin Kelly
" But in a turbulent environment the change is so widespread that it just routes around any kind of central authority. So it is best to manage the bottom-up change rather than try to institute it from the top down. "

Kevin Kelly
" But in fact, when you try to model that on a computer you find that because of the very structure of matter and of the chemical bonds that are the basis of every organism, evolution is not random at all. It will tend to follow certain paths. "

Kevin Kelly
" But when you are embodied in a location, in a physical plant, in a set of people, and in a common history, that constrains your evolution and your ability to evolve in certain directions. "

Kevin Kelly
" Changing things from the top down works when things are stable. "

Kevin Kelly
" Complexity that works is built up out of modules that work perfectly, layered one over the other. "

Kevin Kelly
" Each organism's environment, for the most part, consists of other organisms. "

Kevin Kelly
" Each system is trying to anticipate change in the environment. "

Kevin Kelly
" Everything that we are making, we are making more and more complex. "
