Assumed Consensus

Famous quotes containing the words assumed and/or consensus:

    “The matrix is God?”
    “In a manner of speaking, although it would be more accurate ... to say that the matrix has a God, since this being’s omniscience and omnipotence are assumed to be limited to the matrix.”
    “If it has limits, it isn’t omnipotent.”
    “Exactly.... Cyberspace exists, insofar as it can be said to exist, by virtue of human agency.”
    William Gibson (b. 1948)

    To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects.
    Margaret Thatcher (b. 1925)
