The Chinese government is quickly losing its ideological legitimacy maintain its rule with force but cannot draw strength from the ideology of Marx and Mao.

Calm open debate and logical thought drive strength to its maximum effectiveness.

The biological factors underlying race differences in sports have consequences for educational achievement crime and sexual behavior.

I love the wry motto of the Paleontological Society meant both literally and figuratively for hammers are the main tool of our trade: Frango ut patefaciam - I break in order to reveal.

Then I realized that there is an indigenous presence in the Solar System. It's us. So then I got to wondering what would happen if a more technologically advanced society moved next door to us the way we moved next door to the American Indians.

Adolescence is society's permission slip for combining physical maturity with psychological irresponsibility.

Our lifetime may be the last that will be lived out in a technological society.

Deep down the US with its space its technological refinement its bluff good conscience even in those spaces which it opens up for simulation is the only remaining primitive society.

Technological society has succeeded in multiplying the opportunities for pleasure but it has great difficulty in generating joy.

It may be far in the future but there's some kind of logical way to get from where we are to where the science fiction is.

My fiction is reviewed by the mainstream press by science fiction periodicals romance magazines small press publications and various other journals including some usually devoted to archaeological and other science material.

It was a shock to people of the nineteenth century when they discovered from observations science had made that many features of the biological world could be ascribed to the elegant principle of natural selection.

The modern mind tends to be more and more critical and analytical in spirit hence it must devise for itself an engine of expression which is logically defensible at every point and which tends to correspond to the rigorous spirit of modern science.

Traditional academic science describes human beings as highly developed animals and biological thinking machines. We appear to be Newtonian objects made of atoms molecules cells tissues and organs.

What I'm working on now - I'm back to fantasy although considering that it's me I'm turning it into a kind of science fantasy. It's a vampire story - but my vampires are biological vampires. They didn't become vampires because someone bit them they were born that way.

We're as clever as we think we are but we'll be a lot cleverer when we learn to use not just one brain but to pool huge numbers of brains. We're at a level technologically where we can share information and think collectively about our problems. We do it in science all the time - there's no reason why we can't do it in other endeavors.

The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms.

The concept of romantic love affords a means of emotional manipulation which the male is free to exploit since love is the only circumstance in which the female is (ideologically) pardoned for sexual activity.

In the military I could exercise the power of being automatically respected because of the medals on my chest not because I had done anything right at the moment to earn that respect. This is pretty nice. It's also a psychological trap that can stop one's growth and allow one to get away with just plain bad behavior.

I just have a respect for my audience. That seems to be pretty logical.

Internationalism is a community theory of society which is founded on economic spiritual and biological facts. It maintains that respect for a healthy development of human society and of world civilization requires that mankind be organized internationally.

Basically fundamentalism is a modern phenomenon. In the same way that Hitler evoked a mythological religion of German purity and the glory of the past the Islamists use religion to evoke emotions and passions in people who have been oppressed for a long time in order to reach their purpose.

We establish no religion in this country nor will we ever. But we poison our society when we remove its theological underpinnings. We court corruption when we leave society devoid of belief.

Anyone with sincere religious beliefs cannot say that all religions are true. That is so illogical it is pathetic. All religion cannot be true because some of them are so diametrically opposed to each other.

The biological evolutionary perception of life and of human qualities is radically different from that of traditional religion whether it's Southern Baptist or Islam or any religion that believes in a supernatural supervalance over humanity.

I think flying planes into a building was a faith-based initiative. I think religion is a neurological disorder.

Recounting of a life story a mind thinking aloud leads one inevitably to the consideration of problems which are no longer psychological but spiritual.

The relationship of black Americans to Obama is sociologically riveting.

In the grip of a neurological disorder I am fast losing control of words even as my relationship with the world has been reduced to them.

The chief function of the city is to convert power into form energy into culture dead matter into the living symbols of art biological reproduction into social creativity.
