My nature is that I have to excite myself with a big challenge. - Garry Kasparov

Communism is like an autoimmune disorder; it doesn't do the killing itself, but it weakens the system so much that the victim is left helpless and unable to fight off anything else.

I regularly say in my lectures on artificial intelligence that humans will always have a monopoly on evil. It's not a threat, just a reminder that people choose. We are not algorithms. We are not bound by code or commandments or laws or treaties. We have them. But we choose. So let us talk now about the choices we make. About things in black and white. About Russia's war on Ukraine. And about good and evil.
