'Knowledge in many cases trumps IQ. [Henry] Ford was powerful because Isaac Newton changed the way we think.' (~00:28)
'Knowledge is silver. Outlook is gold. IQ is a lead weight.' (~00:30)
'Whatever we [in computing] do is more like what the Egyptians did. Building pyramids, piling things on top of each other.'
'The ability to make science and engineering harmonize with each other - there's no greater music.' (~00:47)"
