We can't give up just because the Universe does. - Isaac Asimov

Ahora bien, un humano enfrentado con una imposibilidad, responde frecuentemente con una retirada de la realidad; penetra en un mundo de engaño, entregándose a la bebida, llegando al histerismo, o tirándose de un puente. Todo esto se reduce a lo mismo, la negativa o la
incapacidad de enfrentarse serenamente con la situación. Y lo mismo ocurre con los robots. Un dilema, en el mejor de los casos, creará un desorden en sus conexiones; y en el peor abrasará su cerebro positrónico sin reparación posible

An unpleasant nest of nasty, materialistic and aggressive people, careless of the rights of others, imperfectly democratic at home though quick to see the minor slaveries of others, and greedy without end.

You don't understand what I'm saying, do you? Or do you? I think you do. You know what power ideas have, and you don't have a lot of faith in the ability of humans to tell a good idea from a bad one. Well, neither do I, sometimes. But in the long run the bad idea will perish. That's been the story of human civilization for thousands of years. The good does prevail sooner or later, no matter what horrors have happened along the way. And so it's wrong to suppress an idea that may have value to the world. [ — Look, Andrew: you're probably the closest thing to a human being that has ever come out of the factories of U. S. Robots and Mechanical Men. You're uniquely equipped to tell the world what it needs to know about the human0robot relationship, because in some ways you partake of the nature of each. And so you may help to heal that relationship, which even at this late date is still a very troubled one. Write your book. Write it honestly.
