"There has always been a notion among men that it takes a big fancy thing to make a simple thing. You never seen a horseshoe make a blacksmith…Darwin’s theories were so dangerous because it inverted reasoning. It suggests that we could have a bottom up theory of creative genius. And that to make a perfect machine, there is no prerequisite to know how to make it."
