At the end of the day, the sovereignty of maleness is an illusion. In essence and in origin, we are all entirely female.

More and more - especially the younger generation - are functioning outside the binary concept of gender. That's just next-generation stuff.

This illusion that a lower class has less intelligence than a higher class is a complete fake-out.

Whereas in the past people have seen the two sexes as almost incomprehensibly different, now there is a group of people that are explaining the connections between both the genders, literally in the way their biology informs some of their expression.

It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.

This being so, it follows that mythology ought not to take the prominent place that is too often assigned to it in the scientific study of ancient faiths.

Star Wars' is a grand soap opera, and 'Star Trek' is about technology, they tried to explain the reality of it, as far-fetched as it might be. And that's why I've always liked the science behind the fiction.

I'm saying that there were many great naturalists before Darwin's time who were very pious people and who knew more about nature than most of us. These were great naturalists; people I would admire for their knowledge of natural science given the time.
