“Gravity? It’s not physics. It’s conditional. You believe in yourself, ...” — R.P. Gage Quote

“Gravity? It’s not physics. It’s conditional. You believe in yourself, you stay upright. Start second-guessing, and you’re surprisingly buoyant while a gremlin critiques your life choices.”

“Meaning doesn’t remain in place—it’s drawn inward, pulled together by something deeper than consciousness: a noetic force.”

“To grasp the reality of life as it has been revealed by molecular biology, we must magnify a cell a thousand million times until it is twenty kilometers in diameter and resembles a giant airship large enough to cover a great city like London or New York. What we would then see would be an object of unparalleled complexity and adaptive design. On the surface of the cell we would see millions of openings, like the port holes of a vast space ship, opening and closing to allow a continual stream of materials to flow in and out. If we were to enter one of these openings we would find ourselves in a world of supreme technology and bewildering complexity.”

“If co-operation, is thus the lifeblood of science and technology, it is similarly vital to society as a whole.”

“What are the symbols of American strength, wealth, power and modernity? Certainly not jazz and rock and roll, not chewing-gum or hamburgers, Broadway or Hollywood. It's their skyscrapers. Their Pentagon. Their science. Their technology.”

“The human condition is the immensely mentally insecure and psychologically distressed state that all humans have suffered from as a result of a clash between our species’ original non-understanding, dictatorial, instinctive orientations to the world, and our newer fully conscious mind that needs to understand the world to operate.”
