"This duality can be pursued further and is related to a duality between past and future and the notions of control and knowledge. Thus we may have knowledge of the past but cannot control it; we may control the future but have no knowledge of it."
Claude Elwood Shannon (mathematician/electrical engineer, 1916-2001)
Note:
In 1937 as 21 year old student at MIT, Shannon was first to determine Digital Circuit Design Theory, thereby applying Boolean logic as developed by mathematician, philosopher and logician George Boole (1815-1864).
In preparation for my next book, I am studying logic or laws of thought by various ancient, classical as well modern logicians/syllogists. While many may see the applications for mathematics, physics, mechanics, hydro and aero dynamics, information theories (my other profession) and all other sciences of course, therefore the endless discoveries of observable constants and determinable consistencies, I also see ethics or to state more accurately thus clearly the singular ethic.
It is however by the aforesaid implied lack of ethical understanding cancerously widespread, 21st century society have reached the present chaotic climax politically, economically, monetarily, scientifically, academically even religiously, morally too.
Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
