In the computer field, the moment of truth is a running program; all else is prophecy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Truth is confirmed by inspection and delay; falsehood by haste and uncertainty.
Prophecy is an intercept from the mind of an all-knowing and all-seeing and all-powerful God.
I am always looking for that nuance, that moment of truth, and you can't really do that fast.
You don't choose what you believe moment to moment, but choices you have made do shape what you come to believe.
We buy into the computer, and everything that comes from the computer, we believe to be the truth.
A self-fulfilling prophecy is an assumption or prediction that, purely as a result of having been made, cause the expected or predicted event to occur and thus confirms its own 'accuracy.'
Alan Turing gave us a mathematical model of digital computing that has completely withstood the test of time. He gave us a very, very clear description that was truly prophetic.
Sometimes I read a script and it's obvious from early on that it's one where the suspension of disbelief has to develop strongly from page one. Some are more reality-based.
In using chance operations, the mind is enriched.
Physics is the only profession in which prophecy is not only accurate but routine.
