Read your history, young man. All governments kill as part of the nature of things. - Isaac Asimov

Alrededor del 600 a.C., colonizadores de Cumas fundaron una nueva ciudad a unos pocos kilómetros al sur, a lo largo de la costa, y la llamaron sencillamente "Ciudad Nueva", o sea Neápolis en griego. En castellano este nombre se ha convertido en Nápoles

The two known axioms deal with human beings, and they are based on the unspoken axiom that human beings are the only intelligent species in the Galaxy, and therefore the only organisms whose actions are significant in the development of society and history. That is the unstated axiom: that there is only one species of intelligence in the Galaxy and that it is Homo sapiens. If there were 'something new,' if there were other species of intelligence widely different in nature, then their behavior would not be described accurately by the mathematics of psychohistory and Seldon's Plan would have no meaning. Do you see?

Anda, tonto. Ahora haz una mueca de disgusto y mírame como un patito moribundo antes de reclinar tu cabeza en mi hombro para que yo acaricie tus cabellos llenos de electricidad estática.
