The first quote I will bring up from this chapter is, "In a phrase, they decided to live 'as if.'" This means that people are living there life with thoughts in there mind that they should live "as if" they were to be surrounded by a different timeline. I use the word timeline because although we only know of one lifetime there are many possibilities in life, and you must live "as if" you are the outcome of all these possibilities and "as if" you can change them. "Live 'as if' you were to die tomorrow." is a great example of this because you never know when your fate will come, and so you must live every moment to the fullest.
The second quote I will bring up is, "You can't achieve 100 percent control over humans, and if you could, you could not go on doing so." I think that this quote related to technology is incorrect. As we get more involved with technology we are starting to see it take over. It may not be literally, but in a few years technology will definitely take control over humans. I am not sure if the last half of the quote will follow in if technology will successful surpass us or if it will turn into a terrible ending for human beings.
