  • Everything we currently eat or are able to eat was established by the deaths of millions of people who helped us to figure out what not to eat. And we’re dumb animals, so often it would take several deaths or unfortunate circumstances before we figured out what was bad for us.

    It’s kind of like OSHA rules and regulations … it’s all written in blood and death.

  • I think this is our great filter … the filter that won’t allow us to explore the universe beyond our planet. We’ll send up probes and robots into space but we’ll be too busy fighting the handful of men down here who want to try to rule the planet. And those handful of men will keep our world as miserable as possible in order to keep them wealthy and as powerful as possible. Once that group of men dies off, another group of men will take their place endlessly. And it will be that perpetual small group of men that will keep us confined to our current state of evolution and keep us all down on this planet.

    As Carl Sagan put it in ‘A Pale Blue Dot’ …
