[ExI] [Extropolis] Thoughts on the manifesto of futurist science (1916).

[William Flynn Wallace]

I don't think that any creature performs random behaviors.  Just imagine a
person behaving randomly: he sits, he sings a line of a song, he
twitches his right foot, and so on.  THis is more or less random and you
never see anything like it, even in psychotic fits, which I have observed.
