You are the result of billions of years of evolution. You will only live for a few years and will never exist again. Absolutely beautiful
It is hard to resist the impression that the present structure of the universe, apparently so sensitive to minor alterations in numbers, has been rather carefully thought out. . . The seemingly miraculous concurrence of these numerical values must remain the most compelling evidence for cosmic design.
Digital also had this evolution that came out of post-production. And George Lucas did it because he wanted to make a big movie with special effects. Sort of the opposite of what you'd think is an indie film. So it's coming from both these angles.
Strategy is not a lengthy action plan. It is the evolution of a central idea through continually changing circumstances.
An essay is something that tracks the evolution of a human mind. It tracks the evolution of a single consciousness in order to give us an experience - an experience of looking for something and then finding ourselves in a different place by the time we've finished our journey.
It was Darwin's chief contribution, not only to Biology but to the whole of natural science, to have brought to light a process by which contingencies a priori improbable, are given, in the process of time, an increasing probability, until it is their non-occurrence rather than their occurrence which becomes highly improbable.
You are designed to reinvent and re-create yourself, over and over again. And, you are here-whether you want to acknowledge it or not; whether you even know it or not-for the evolution of your own soul.
In creating the human brain, evolution has wildly overshot the mark.
Trade has played a vital role in the social evolution of humankind. It allowed people to specialise, which raises both skill levels and efficiency. It brought people from different lands together, co-operating rather than competing over resources.
. . . the emergent capabilities bursting forth from the revolutionary advances in the life sciences are about to make us the principal agent of evolution.
Accepting evolution does not force us to jettison our morals and ethics, and rejecting evolution does not ensure their constancy.
It's easy to tell who the folks are that don't believe in evolution. They're the ones who have refused to participate in it.
The human mind has a desire to know its place in the universe and the role we play in the tapestry of life. This is actually hardwired into our brains, the desire the know our relationship to the universe. This was good for our evolution, since it enabled us to see our relationship to others and to nature which was good for our survival. And it is also what drives our curiosity to understand the universe.
The right to development is the measure of the respect of all other human rights. That should be our aim: a situation in which all individuals are enabled to maximize their potential, and to contribute to the evolution of society as a whole.
Darwinian evolution is unscientific, unobservable, unbelievable, but understandable in a world that hates God.
Evolution is variation and selection. If you can vary alternatives, and select among them, improvement emerges. It works in technology, in apps, and in life itself. What stunned me about seasteading is that it's a technology for variation and selection in governance itself. The reason some two hundred nation-states do a poor job of governing seven billion people is that they don't vary, and people don't select.
Considering the way evolution works, it should not be surprising if every man has got a Don Giovanni somewhere inside him.
Uniformity and Evolution are one.
These are the people who don't believe in evolution or global warming. So, why would they believe default would hurt anything?
Choice is the engine of our evolution.
