sweeter because it cannot last. It is all about today. Today is the
best day ever because tomorrow might not happen.”

“So, you know that group up there in the Planetarium then?’ The pistol continued. ‘Hey they say it’s a small world.’
‘Are they alright?’ asked Semilla darting forward.
‘Yeah, they’re all fine, apart from the President he’s rather dead actually, oh and one of the lampposts I’m afraid he copped it too.’
Baz’s beacon flickered with emotion. ‘Which one?’ he asked.
‘There was only one President as far as I know,’ said the pistol indifferently.”

“Having better prediction raises the value of judgment. After all, it doesn’t help to know the likelihood of rain if you don’t know how much you like staying dry or how much you hate carrying an umbrella. Prediction machines don’t provide judgment.

As AI takes over prediction, humans will do less of the combined prediction-judgment routine of decision making and focus more on the judgment role alone.”
