“The current understanding was that it was impossible to predict how so...” — Kevin Kelly Quote

“The current understanding was that it was impossible to predict how something would evolve because it was a very turbulent environment full of things interacting with each other.”

“It has become evident that the primary lesson of the study of evolution is that all evolution is coevolution: every organism is evolving in tandem with the organisms around it.”

“In a broad systems sense, an organism's environment is indistinguishable from the organism itself.”

“When a system is in turbulence, the turbulence is not just out there in the environment, but is a part of the organization or organism that you are looking at.”

“Organisms by their design are not made to adapt too far.”

“We are infected by our own misunderstanding of how our own minds work.”

“We all have those moments when you're sitting in your feelings and you're sitting in your thoughts and you're taking in what your current situation is.”

“Everybody in Lynyrd Skynyrd loves different styles of music, and our minds are very open when it comes to writing our songs and making the band true to what the band is, but also stepping out and doing something current.”

“The big fun in 'Battleship' is that there are no current battleships in the Navy today. The battleships are about 1,000 feet long and they have huge guns. They were what you saw in WWII. The last battleship that was used was the Missouri, which is what the Japanese surrendered to.”

“Moral licensing comes into play when people rely on past behavior to dismiss current prejudiced behavior. This is better known as the 'Some of my best friends are...' defense.”

“It really is no different in the way that we make records and shoot music videos. I don't think of the movie as being a great leap out of my current profession.”
