The latest issue of The Journal of Consciousness Studies (Vol. 17, No. 5-6) lists “Notable Quotes” from this year’s Toward a Science of Consciousness conference in Tucson, including these from my keynote address:
“Canada should have British culture, French cuisine, and American know-how. Instead, Canada has British cuisine, American culture, and French know-how.”“Scholars ask me if I do any research before I write my science-fiction books. I ask them if they do research before they write papers or do they pull them out of their asses?”
“You can argue with me: write your own damn book and argue!”
“Editing audio tape with a razor blade ranks just above philosophy in terms of marketable skills.”
“Science fiction: Bush or Gore win in 2000; fantasy: Nader wins.”

“Canada should have British culture, French cuisine, and American know-how. Instead, Canada has British cuisine, American culture, and French know-how.”
Ha! Indeed.

That quip about Canada originated with my great friend and mentor John Robert Colombo.

Your comments are a good start toward a “reboot” of Poor Richard’s Almanac”
Very funny (and pithy) stuff. Thanks, Rob

I suppose it’s better than having American Cuisine….
