Text Quotes
Space doesn’t offer an escape from Earth’s problems. And even with nuclear fuel, the transit time to nearby stars exceeds a human lifetime. Interstellar travel is therefore, in my view, an enterprise for post-humans, evolved from our species not via natural selection, but by design. (Selection Quotes)
An education system where student selection is based on credit capacity and not merit capacity and where graduating students are no longer indebted to the nation, but increasingly indebted to the Australian Taxation Office - that’s no way to improve the quality of education. (Selection Quotes)
There are three opportunities that you have during a general election campaign where you can substantially move the needle of public opinion. One, is your convention speech; two, are the base; three, is the selection of your vice president. (Selection Quotes)
Multiculturalism destroys the true diversity which nature requires for the continued evolution of the species through the natural selection process of differentiation and competition between specialized populations within a group. (Selection Quotes)
I got snubbed about eight times for the Mid-Summer Classic, and I know what type of career I had, and I know that I’m a true All-Star. The selection process is not very accurate. (Selection Quotes)
During my jury selection process, we went through over 360 jurors. It took six months, all New York residents. Of the 360 jurors, over half of them had been mugged one time. Quite a number of them, maybe 30 40, 50, had been mugged twice. (Selection Quotes)
The interesting question would be whether there’s a Darwinian process, a kind of selection process whereby some memes are more likely to spread than others, because people like them, because they’re popular, because they’re catchy or whatever it might be. (Selection Quotes)
...history is a selection process - it chooses moments and events, and even people - it hands them a situation that they shouldn’t be able to overcome, and it’s in those moments, in that fight, that people find out who they are. (Selection Quotes)
About tidying up a toy box, you should let your kids experience the selection process by touching all of their toys. It’s also important how they throw away their toys. They can earn a stronger sense of valuing things when they throw things away with respect and appreciation. (Selection Quotes)
Individual versus group selection results in a mix of altruism and selfishness, of virtue and sin, among the members of a society. (Selection Quotes)
Must we wait for selection to solve the problems of overpopulation, exhaustion of resources, pollution of the environment and a nuclear holocaust, or can we take explicit steps to make our future more secure? In the latter case, must we not transcend selection? (Selection Quotes)
In spite of my own reservations about Bing’s ability to convert Google users, I have to admit that the search engine does offer a genuine alternative to Google-style browsing, a more coherently organized selection of links, and a more advertiser-friendly environment through which to sell space and links. (Selection Quotes)
A coach has to worry not so much about creating motivation, esprit de corps, as about destroying it. The true competitor has it; he wouldn’t be a star if he didn’t. So you have to mold all these egos together and make sure in your selection of people that you don’t destroy the feeling of togetherness or morale, because it is a fragile thing. (Selection Quotes)
We make no greater voluntary choice in this life than the selection of a marriage partner. This decision can bring eternal happiness and joy. To find sublime fulfillment in marriage, both partners need to be fully committed to the marriage. (Selection Quotes)
What an odd time to be a fundamentalist about adaptation and natural selection - when each major subdiscipline of evolutionary biology has been discovering other mechanisms as adjuncts to selection’s centrality. (Selection Quotes)
Technology is the means by which we have decommissioned natural selection and are seizing control. We are no longer to be victims of some blind evolutionary process where sentient beings are massacred by entropy. (Selection Quotes)
Life on Earth is not the result of a series of miracles performed by a supernatural god-creator, and it is definitely not a product of matter having a mind of its own, of an equally miraculous evolutionary process supervised by Lady Natural Selection who would turn rabbits into lions. (Selection Quotes)
My eyes are constantly wide open to the extraordinary fact of existence. Not just human existence, but the existence of life and how this breathtakingly powerful process, which is natural selection, has managed to take the very simple facts of physics and chemistry and build them up to redwood trees and humans. (Selection Quotes)
A failure to act is a terrible, stunning legacy for any leader. But far worse when it is the president of the United States. And that’s the point driven home by Romney’s selection of Ryan, who dared to lead when Obama did not. (Selection Quotes)
Like any collection of family photographs, it was a random selection that told only fragments of a story. The real tale would be revealed by the pictures that were missing or never even taken at all, not the ones that had been so carefully framed or packed away neatly in an envelope. (Selection Quotes)
With fantasy, one often has to think of a well-loved series before narrowing the selection to a favourite book. So it is with Zelazny. I’ve read his ‘Princes in Amber’ books so often, I know them almost verbatim, so much so that I am now trying to forget them so I can return to them with renewed pleasure. (Selection Quotes)
Women are free in the Islamic Republic in the selection of their activities and their future and their clothing. (Selection Quotes)
Evolution by natural selection is not an idle hypothesis. The genetic variation on which selection acts is well understood in principle all the way down to the molecular level. (Selection Quotes)
If a woman can, by careful selection of a father and nourishment of herself, produce a citizen with efficient senses, sound organs and a good digestion, she should clearly be secured a sufficient reward for that natural service to make her willing to undertake and repeat it. (Selection Quotes)
Natural selection has duped us with an emotion that encourages group thinking. It is an emotion that makes us act as if for the good of the group; an emotion that brings pleasure, pride, or even thrills from coordinated group activity. (Selection Quotes)
Personal initiative, competitive selection, the profit motive, corrected by failure and the infinite process of good housekeeping and the personal ingenuity-here constitute the life of a free society. (Selection Quotes)
Natural selection acts solely by accumulating slight successive favorable variations, it can produce no great or sudden modification; it can act only by very short steps. (Selection Quotes)
Our own species evolved under the influence of group selection, as Darwin emphasized when he discussed the evolution of altruism. (Selection Quotes)
It is hard to explain the huge variety of diatoms - a microorganism that has 100,000 species - in terms of natural selection. (Selection Quotes)
Heavy Metal fans are buying Heavy Metal records, taking the records home, listening to the records and then blowing their heads off with shotguns? Where’s the problem? That’s an unemployment solution right there, folks! It’s called natural selection. (Selection Quotes)
