““All I’m hearing is ‘I can’t’ when I needed that data yesterday. Go bore someone else with your excuses.””
“Humans are driven by emotion. Much of our so-called logic is merely the rationalization of choices that make us feel good.”
“Its purpose is the same as every other organism. To survive.”
“The whole earth is solar powered. The movement of clouds and air and water, the growth of plants and animals, it’s all just a big heat engine driven by the sun. Humanity has spent so long binging on fossil fuels that we’ve forgotten where it all comes from.”
“Nobody knows: they just believe, and then because everyone else believes it, too, it feels like it couldn’t possibly be wrong. But consensus doesn’t mean truth. In fact, it means a lack of critical thinking, a blind following of the status quo. Humans are really good at doing that, too.”
