No human brain or committee can master the whole. In other words, the chronic ignorance of those who make decisions in every field is not due to the absence of data or to lack of access, but to the disproportion between our limited mental capacities and the unlimited complexes that we think we can daily assimilate. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #dystopia #technology

We do not know what is dangerous. We see clearly that the experts do not know either. This uncertainty is the disconcerting factor. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #dystopia #technology

I can conclude without misgivings that on the one hand forecasting is more than ever necessary in our world but also that economic and technical forecasts in fact are always inaccurate. This leads us into the twofold question of our failure to foresee and to predict. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #dystopia #technology

There has to be forecasting of economic growth and of technical possibilities. As technique becomes more powerful, forecasting becomes not only more necessary but also more accelerated. The more powerful the technique, the more serious the effects of an error in forecasting. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #dystopia #technology
