## Quotes

* We say booty. I'm not quite sure about 'posterior'. I'll try to keep that in the back of my mind. 'What are you doing?' 'I'm shaking my posterior.'
** 2008
* Andy Murray, he's been joking about myself and him playing a match. I'm like, 'Andy, seriously, are you kidding me?' For me, mens' tennis and womens' tennis are completely, almost, two separate sports. If I were to play Andy Murray, I would lose 6-0, 6-0 in five to six minutes, maybe 10 minutes. No, it's true. It's a completely different sport. The men are a lot faster and they serve harder, they hit harder, it's just a different game. I love to play women's tennis. I only want to play girls, because I don't want to be embarrassed.

Seth Lloyd (born August 2, 1960) is an American engineer, and Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT.

## Quotes

* Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes and the second law of thermodynamics. All three are processes in which useful or accessible forms of some quantity, such as energy or money, are transformed into useless, inaccessible forms of the same quantity. That is not to say that these three processes don't have fringe benefits: taxes pay for roads and schools; the second law of thermodynamics drives cars, computers and metabolism; and death, at the very least, opens up tenured faculty positions.
** Nature 430, 971 (26 August 2004); doi:10.1038/430971a
* Of course, one way of thinking about all of life and civilization is as being about how the world registers and processes information. Certainly that's what sex is about; that's what history is about.
** Seth Lloyd, cited in: Michael Schmiechen (2009) Newton's Principia Revisited. p. 885
* For hundreds of millions of years, Sex was the most efficient method for propagating information of dubious provenance: the origins of all those snippets of junk DNA are lost in the sands of reproductive history. Move aside, Sex: the world-wide Web has usurped your role.

* Quantum mechanics is weird. I don't understand it. Just live with it.

# Set It Up

Set It Up is a 2018 American romantic comedy film about two overworked assistants who try to set up their demanding bosses on dates in New York City.
    Directed by Claire Scanlon. Written by Katie Silberman.

## Harper

* Guys think that they like girls who like sports. What they actually like is a girl in a very tight sports jersey, serving them wings and getting the terminology wrong. Guys like girls who like guys who like sports.
* Hard-to-get makes no sense. It's evolutionarily unsound. Why would a caveman want a cave woman who was like 'Go get me food, and when you come back maybe there will be a cave for you, maybe there won't be.' Men should want women that are gonna keep the coziest, warmest caves. Men need shelter. I am guaranteeing shelter.

## Dialogue

    Harper: [describing Kirsten and Rick] One is a stunningly beautiful woman with dark hair and a fierceness that's both scary and inspiring.
    [Shrugs]
    Harper: The other's a guy.
    Harper: I'm so sorry. I got here so early that I thought had time to dick around then I went to that gift shop, then I lost track of time and suddenly I was late.
    Charlie: That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. That is not a real thing.
    Harper: Yes, it is. It's the over-dick-around thing. I over-dicked it.
    Harper: When my mom was my age, she had me. I've never even had a boyfriend.
    Charlie: But you're, like, a grown up.
    Harper: Take that back.
    Charlie: I wanna fuck this pizza.
    Harper: I get it. You should never say that to anyone. But I get it.
    [Harper and Charlie are climbing up a fire escape and Charlie is carrying a pizza]
    Harper: Are you okay?
    Charlie: I'm fine.
    Harper: No, I'm talking to my pizza.
    Harper: It's just like, I worked so hard at being this great assistant and making sure she was happy that... I don't know, feels like I might have lost any writing skill I ever had.
    Charlie: Well, that is definitely not true. You're a terrible assistant.
    Harper: Why are you dressed like that?
    Charlie: I don't work here anymore. I quit working for Rick. Starting over. At 28. Actually, I'm a temp, which is technically lower on the totem pole than an assistant, which is kind of a kick in the nuts. But it's, um, kind of cool. I get to see a bunch of different jobs. Find out what I actually like. I like you. So, so much. You're not hard to get at all. You're hard to earn. It's so much better.

* This is how the system is rigged to safeguard bad ideas. The leftists, who dominate our media and culture, are armed with both a sword and a shield. They can call anyone who differs with them a biggot, a transfobe, a nazi. It doesn't matter. They know they'll never get banned. That's the sword. But if you joke about the left's lunacy, you'll be suspended or even banned for hateful conduct. That's the shield.

## Quotes

* Stay away from the church. In the battle over science vs. religion, science offers credible evidence for all the serious claims it makes. The church says, “Oh, it’s right here in this book, see? The one written by people who thought the sun was magic?” I for one would like to see some proof that there is a God. And if you say, “a baby’s smile,” I’m going to kick you right in the stomach.
** The 'Family' guy commences to Harvard, Entertainment Weekly, 13 June 2006.
* Why is it that Johnny Spaghetti Stain in fucking Georgia can knock a woman up, legally be married to her, and then beat the shit out of her, but these two intelligent, sophisticated writers who have been together for 20 years can’t get married? It’s infuriating and idiotic. I’m incredibly passionate about my support for the gay community and what they’re dealing with at this current point in time. I have arguments with people where I get red in the face, screaming at the top of my lungs.
** Read Oscar Host Seth MacFarlane's One and Only Gay Interview (From 2008), The Advocate, 25 January 2008.
* They’re literally terrible human beings. I’ve read their newsletter, I’ve visited their website, and they’re just rotten to the core. For an organization that prides itself on Christian values — I mean, I’m an atheist, so what do I know? — they spend their entire day hating people.

* My thought is always, ‘It’s only downhill from here’. That’s how I’ve always operated, ever since I began Family Guy. I had the crippling fear that I used up all the funny last week.

# Philip Spratt

Philip Spratt (26 September 1902 – 8 March 1971) was a British writer and intellectual. Initially a communist sent by the British arm of the Communist International (Comintern), based in Moscow, to spread Communism in India, he subsequently became a friend and colleague of M.N. Roy, founder of the Communist parties in Mexico and India, and along with him became an communist activist.

## Quotes

* "My recollection is that though the communist group put up a worker, or rather a railway clerk, against him, we were not displeased at his election. We did not regard him as one of us, but we recognised him as one who could be useful. The term was not yet current, or we should have called him a fellow-traveller."
** Philip Spratt, who was leader of the CPI at that time, writing about Jawaharlal Nehru
** Philip Spratt, Blowing Up India (London: Phoenix House, 1957 p. 109), quoted in Sita Ram Goel, Genesis and Growth of Nehruism. Vol. 1, Commitment to Communism (New Delhi: Voice of India 1993)
* "For nearly twenty of his years in London, he was known as a close supporter of the communists. People change their minds, but Mr. Menon's recent speeches do not suggest that he has changed his. I should guess that be is one of that considerable band of people in important positions in the free world who, though not technically party members, are in fact disciplined communists. Even if this is disputed, it will be agreed that there is something anomalous in a convinced partisan of the aggressor masquerading as a neutral mediator, and contriving so regularly to serve the aggressor's purposes. I hope people will not think I am suffering from a conspiracy mania; after all, Communism is a conspiracy."
** Philip Spratt about V. K. Krishna Menon
** Quoted in Sita Ram Goel, Genesis and Growth of Nehruism. Vol. 1, Commitment to Communism (New Delhi: Voice of India 1993)

* The intellectually aggressive hedgehogs knew one big thing and sought, under the banner of parsimony, to expand the explanatory power of that big thing to “cover” new cases; the more eclectic foxes knew many little things and were content to improvise ad hoc solutions to keep pace with a rapidly changing world.
** In: Justin Fox. "How to Be Bad at Forecasting," in Harvard Business Review, May 11, 2012.
** About prediction and forecasting. Fox commented that "psychologist Philip Tetlock (following the lead of Isaiah Berlin), divided the world of political forecasters into hedgehogs and foxes."

## About

* Philip Tetlock has just produced a study which suggests we should view expertise in political forecasting--by academics or intelligence analysts, independent pundits, journalists or institutional specialists--with the same skepticism that the well-informed now apply to stockmarket forecasting... It is the scientific spirit with which he tackled his project that is the most notable thing about his book, but the findings of his inquiry are important and, for both reasons, everyone seriously concerned with forecasting, political risk, strategic analysis and public policy debate would do well to read the book.

# Philip V of Macedon

Philip V (Greek: Φίλιππος, Philippos; 238–179 BC) was king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon from 221 to 179 BC. Philip's reign was principally marked by the Social War in Greece (220-217 BC) and a struggle with the emerging power of the Roman Republic. He would lead Macedon against Rome in the First (212-205 BC) and Second (200-196 BC) Macedonian Wars. While he lost the latter, Philip later allied with Rome against Antiochus III in the Roman-Seleucid War. He died in 179 BC from illness after efforts to recover the military and economic condition of Macedonia and passed the throne onto his elder son, Perseus of Macedon.

# Shoji Shiba

Shoji Shiba (11 January 1933) is a Japanese business theorist, Professor Emeritus of University of Tsukuba in Japan, and an international expert in Total Quality Management (TQM) and Breakthrough Management. He won the Deming Prize in 2002. Globally he is best known for developing the "Five Step Discovery Process" for Breakthrough Management. In the recent years he has been guiding the transformation of the Indian manufacturing industry.

## Quotes

* TQM is focused on everyone's satisfaction. TQM is an unyielding, continuing, improving effort by everyone in the company to understand, meet, and exceed the expectations of customers. TQM is not just a quality control program.
** Alex d'Arbeloff cited in: Shōji Shiba, New American TQM. Productivity press, 1993. p. 315
* As Uchimaru sees things, an engineer who doesn't think TQM applies to technical activities must not understand either engineering or TQM or both. TQM is the application of the scientific method to business (pick an important problem, get the facts, analyze the facts, find the underlying truth, plan a method of improvement based on the underlying truth, systematically test it to verify that it works, standardize the new method, and then the cycle around again)
** Shōji Shiba, New American TQM. Productivity press, 1993. p. 463
** Shiba talks about Kiyoshi Uchimaru, who was president of NEC's main microchip design subsidiary in the 1980s.

## Quotes about Shoji Shiba

* The great quality teacher, Shoji Shiba, often tells people that the biggest barrier to changing understanding is the following word: IAKI, which is not a Japanese word at all. It is an acronym for I ALREADY KNOW IT... Professor Shiba then goes on to say: “Yes, you may know it, but you don't know how to do it!” There is an enormous difference between knowledge and know-how... Too many executives believe that if they listen to a lecture or read a book they will know how to do something....Nobody ever became a great lover by just reading a book or watching a video. You have to get in and do it. There are some things you can only learn through experience.
