"I have always been bothered by the din made about the theme of "science without conscience". This is foolish, since it is only because of this very same subjectivity and its ever-accelerating, irreversible degeneration that machinic systems are able to take off the way they do. And isn't it also kind of stupid to hope to improve the condition of the human, one of the most vulgar, mean and aggressive of all species? I am not afraid of machines as long as they enlarge the scope of perception and complexity of human behavior. What bothers me is when people try to bring them down to the level of human stupidity."

"It eludes programming, because of what i call the production of an endo-reference. Subjectivity is being produced before it is aware of itself. That is what happened in '68: a subjectivity was in the making before anyone had a change to realize what was going on.
I really like the image of the slumbering beast. A completely dormant mass, totally infantilized by the media. But when some singularity awakens it, it turns into an extremely receptive milieu. Politicians and intellectuals are the last to reach this receptiveness.
That stroke of singularity, that arbitrary conglomeration of signs and sounds, is immediately perceived and received by those who crave it. They are already so bored..."
