Marvin Minsky

Intelligence without emotion is incomplete.

Life is a grand experiment in computation.

The brain is just a computer made of meat.

What is a mind? It is a 'society' of tiny components that are themselves mindless.

You don't understand anything until you understand it in more than one way.

Common sense is not a simple thing. Instead, it is an immense society of knowledge, skills, and ways to use them.

We're not going to have a robot that's smarter than us until we can teach it to be as stupid as we are.

The problem is not that we don't have enough information, but that we have too much.

The question is not whether machines can think, but whether humans can.

The greatest discoveries are not the ones that answer questions, but the ones that question answers.

Intelligence is the ability to solve problems.

The mind is not a single thing, but a collection of many different processes.

We understand a thing only when we can explain it in several different ways.

The more ways you learn to think about things, the more ways you'll have to solve problems.

No one is thinking until he is thinking about something he does not understand.

The most important thing to teach is how to learn.

We are not born with common sense; we have to learn it.

The brain is a machine that makes models of the world.

The future of AI is not about making machines that are like us, but making machines that are better than us.

The mind is a collection of processes, not a single entity.
