If You Don't Know History,

It's Hard To Decide Who's Truly Brilliant; It's Easier To See Who's Driven, Which In The Long Run May Be More Important.

Power Is Neither Male Or Female.

For Our Own Species, Evolution Occurs Mostly Through Our Behavior. We Innovate New Behavior To Adapt.

But Complex Animals Had Obtained Their Adaptive Flexibility At Some Cost--they Had Traded One Dependency For Another. It Was No Longer Necessary To Change Their Bodies To Adapt, Because Now Their Adaptation Was Behavior, Socially Determined. That Behavior Required Learning. In A Sense, Among Higher Animals Adaptive Fitness Was No Longer Transmitted To The Next Generation By Dna At All. It Was Now Carried By Teaching.

In My View, Our Approach To Global Warming Exemplifies Everything That Is Wrong With Our Approach To The Environment. We Are Basing Our Decisions On Speculation, Not Evidence. Proponents Are Pressing Their Views With More Pr Than Scientific Data. Indeed, We Have Allowed The Whole Issue To Be Politicized-red Vs Blue, Republican Vs Democrat. This Is In My View Absurd. Data Aren't Political. Data Are Data. Politics Leads You In The Direction Of A Belief. Data, If You Follow Them, Lead You To Truth.
