“The microbial brain—gifted with long-range transport, data trading, genetic variants… and the ability to reinvent genomes—began its operations some 91 trillion bacterial generations before the birth of the Internet. Ancient bacteria, if they functioned like those today, had mastered the art of worldwide information exchange. …The earliest microorganisms would have used planet-sweeping currents of wind and water to carry the scraps of genetic code…”

S. L. Gilmour, that sense data are "objective and unalterable."”

“When Richard Dawkins first published his idea of a meme, he made it clear he was speaking of "a unit of imitation"… Memes were supposed to be exclusive triumphs of humanity. But memes come in two different kinds—behavioral and verbal. …behavioral memes began brain-hopping long before there were such things as human minds.”

“From our best qualities come our worst. From our urge to pull together comes our tendency to pull apart. From our devotion to higher good comes our propensity to the foulest atrocities. From out commitment to ideals come our excuse to hate. Since the beginning of history, we have been blinded by evil's ability to don a selfless disguise. We have failed to see that our finest qualities often lead us to the actions we most abhor—murder, torture, genocide, and war.”

Who is Lucifer?
The Lucifer Principle: A Scientific Expedition Into the Forces of History (1997)

“If A is A, a philosopher should equal a philosopher. But that's not the way the cosmos works. Similar things set themselves apart from one another. …What's more, opposites are joined at the hip. Einstein says that most creative acts come from opposition. They come from pitting yourself against someone with another point of view. They come from the law of differentiation. And that was true of Aristotle and his law of identity, his law of noncontradiction, his construction for the base for A is A. Aristotle came up with his idea… to fling a finger in the face of another philosopher [Heraclitus]…”

“The notion that individualism came first runs against the very grain of cosmic history. …grouping has been inherent in evolution since the first quarks joined to form neutrons and protons. Similarly, replicators—RNA, DNA, and genes—have always worked in teams… The bacteria of 3.5 billion years ago were creatures of the crowd. So were the trilobites and echinoderms of the Cambrian age.”

“If entemologists have things backward, their errors have spawned a host of others central to modern evolutionary science. …E. O. Wilson is… the founder of a rich and fruitful discipline—sociobiology. And sociobiology has… helped lay the groundwork for the dogma of the "selfish gene."”

“Sociological researchers maintain a mask of objectivity. But… when students in these movements report facts that contradict the tenets of their group's creed, they are… punished for their heresy…. forcing them "to leave the movement." A similar mechanism of repression is at work in every scientific discipline that I know.”

“When you and I were born, only one thing was certain about the rest of our lives: that you and I would someday die. Just as a trillion, trillion, trillion (1036) microorganisms, animals and plants have died before us. …A God who slaughters is no God at all. Or if he is… He is a God who must be stopped.”
