re: #31 Eclectic Cyborg
I prefer Agent K from Men In Black:
“A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.”
A quote I will lay odds was either derived from or a combination of Asimov’s Foundation series and Harry Seldons physcohistory or Drakes Dorsai series and the Exotics theory of ontogenetics. Both if I remember right were the ability to predict the reaction of a large group/population to certain stimuli.
