The Speed of Thought
"I love Quicksilver. I've been using it since nearly the beginning,
and I cannot live without it…. I just type, and things happen,
pretty much at the speed of thought."

"Sciences can move at the speed of inference
when individuals only need to consider logic and evidence.

on a dense ingroup network, has to get the majority of her
guild to acknowledge fundamental, embarrassing
disciplinary errors."
