“The master computer could not act wisely without the help of the Keeper; it had to act wisely in order to get to the Keeper.

What now? What now? I need wisdom, and yet who can guide me? I have vastly more knowledge than any human can hope to muster, and yet I have no minds except human minds to counsel me.

Was it possible that human minds might be enough? No computer could ever be so brilliantly disorganized as the human brain. Humans made the most astonishing  decisions based on mere fragments of data, because their brains recombined them in strange and truthful ways.”

– Orson Scott Card,
The Call of Earth (1993),
from the Prologue
