Quotes
- “Serious thinkers pointed out that humankind was scarcely ready to colonize the stars, having solved none of its problems at home.”
- “She regarded boredom as a moral failing, the mark of a mind insufficiently stocked to occupy itself.”
- “Cooperation was, in the long run, a more powerful evolutionary strategy than violence, once a species was high-tech.”
- “And wasn’t that a common pattern in human history! Greedy religious orders, wanting to keep power for themselves, using customs and myth and threats and murder to keep the people in line and then making them believe it was all for their own good so they wouldn’t challenge the supremacy of the priesthood. Some political thinker of a few centuries ago had nailed it exactly: “Religion is the opiate of the people.””
- “Judge not. No culture was better than another, no culture should be deemed in need of uplifting. Crap! It was the worst kind of moral laziness masquerading as cultural relativism.”
- “How to reasonably object to artificiality, when all of anthropology spotlighted how artificial all cultural institutions actually were?”
