Quote by Bertrand Russell

Machines are worshipped because they are beautiful and valued because they confer power; they are hated because they are hideous and loathed because they impose slavery.

Machines are worshipped because they are beautiful and value

Summary

This quote highlights the conflicting relationship humans have with machines. On one hand, machines are admired for their beauty and prized for the power they provide. However, they are also despised for their ugliness and dreaded for their ability to impose a form of enslavement. This duality reflects the complex emotions we have towards technology, recognizing its benefits and allure, but also fearing its potential to dominate and control our lives.
