I describe in 'Chimpanzee Politics' how the alpha male needs broad support to reach the top spot. He needs some close allies and he needs many group members to be on his side.
I have a lot of fears that normal people have.
This claustrophobia was the only weakness I had. It's not my fault. It's just in my mind.
The stratosphere is a hostile place.

Well, to me, my past accomplishments weren't crazy. They required a lot of skill and careful planning.
I don't like to rate myself; others can do that. I've spoken with a number of young people who weren't even born in 1969, when the first moon landing was made. They've witnessed the first person to fly at faster than speed of the sound without propulsion. These kids are happy to have had such a momentous event in their lifetime.
Don't just sit there (and complain), do something.
It is with flowers as with moral qualities; the bright are sometimes poisonous; but, I believe, never the sweet.
The suffering of either sex - of the male who is unable, because of the way in which he was reared, to take the strong initiating or patriarchal role that is still demanded of him, or of the female who has been given too much freedom of movement as a child to stay placidly within the house as an adult - this suffering, this discrepancy, this sense of failure in an enjoined role, is the point of leverage for social change.
Emotions get in the way but they don't pay me to start crying at the loss of 269 lives. They pay me to put some perspective on the situation.
