Summary

This quote suggests that when we believe a particular technology is not realistic or practical, we are less likely to concern ourselves with its potential impact or possibilities. It implies that skepticism about the feasibility of technology can lead to a dismissive attitude towards its potential benefits or downsides. Instead, it advocates for an open-minded approach, acknowledging the potential of a technology even if it seems unrealistic or far-fetched at first glance. By doing so, we can explore unforeseen possibilities and avoid overlooking potentially groundbreaking innovations.
