International relations is security, it's trade relations, it's power games. It's not good-and-bad. But what I saw in Yugoslavia w...as pure evil. Not ethnic hatred--that's only like a label. I really had a feeling there that I am observing unleashed human evil ...LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
While ... we cannot and must not hide our concern for grave world dangers, and while, at the same time, we cannot build walls arou...nd ourselves and hide our heads in the sand, we must go forward with all our strength to stress and to strive for international peace. In this effort America must and will protect herself.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The peace loving nations must make a concerted effort in opposition to those violations of treaties and those ignorings of humane ...instincts which today are creating a state of international anarchy and instability from which there is no escape through mere isolation or neutrality.... When an epidemic of physical disease starts to spread, the community approves and joins in a quarantine of the patients in order to protect the health of the community against the spread of the disease.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
One can imagine a computer simulation of the action of peptides in the hypothalamus that is accurate down to the last synapse. But... equally one can imagine a computer simulation of the oxidation of hydrocarbons in a car engine or the action of digestive processes in a stomach when it is digesting pizza. And the simulation is no more the real thing in the case of the brain than it is in the case of the car or the stomach. Barring miracles, you could not run your car by doing a computer simulation of the oxidation of gasoline, and you could not digest pizza by running the program that simulates such digestion. It seems obvious that a simulation of cognition will similarly not produce the effects of the neurobiology of cognition.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Your brain receives, stores, and processes information, dispenses results, and controls your biological equipment. When properly p...rogrammed, computers can do likewise, except that they control electromechanical rather than biological equipment. Beyond these functional similarities, computers and brains have virtually nothing in common. To begin with, the electronic circuits in a computer are not analogous to brain cells. The two differ in appearance, in structure, and in principles of operation. The key functions of information storage and information processing are served in computers by physically different components. In a typical computer, one finds separate CPU and memory units; but even in computer designs where processing circuits are intermixed, the two functions remain distinct. In the brain they are not distinct; they're distributed throughout the brain and intermixed in ways that we don't understand.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Our national determination to keep free of foreign wars and foreign entanglements cannot prevent us from feeling deep concern when... ideals and principles that we have cherished are challenged.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginnings of all wars. Yes, an end to this brutal, inhuman and thoroughly impracti...cal method of settling the differences between Governments. The once powerful malignant Nazi state is crumbling; the Japanese warlords are receiving in their homelands the retribution for which they asked when they attacked Pearl Harbor. But the mere conquest of our enemies is not enough; we must go on to do all in our power to conquer the doubts and the fears, the ignorance and the greed, which made this horror possible.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We have learned the simple truth, as Emerson said, that the only way to have a friend is to be one. We can gain no lasting peace i...f we approach it with suspicion or mistrust or with fear.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
