"In the end, you will find that everything you have achieved in life is a result of your own actions. Your knowledge will imprison you. You cannot escape it. What you know you cannot unknow.
That's why knowledge is dangerous. Learning will redefine your world, irreversibly" is a quote from Ray Kurzweil, one of the most prominent futurists and inventors today.
