“The luge is the only Olympic event where you could have people competing in it against their will, and it would look exactly the same. Take people off the street, 'Hey, hey, hey, what is this?! I don't wanna be in the luge!' Once you put that helmet on them, 'You're in the luge, buddy!' 'aaaAAAaaaAAAaaaAAA... aaaAAAAA...' World record. Didn't even wanna do it.

“Out of politics comes more uproar than progress. It is indeed surprising how little, comparatively, this noisy department of human affairs contributes to the world's prosperity. Political commotions upon the grandest scale, political events of astounding suddenness, political characters of the greatest ability, abound, but still, permanent results are rare, and we look in vain for a measure of public good corresponding in extent to the hideous rout which ushers it in. Progress but turns upon its pillow, and goes to sleep again.” WorldHumansLooksLittlesStillsCharacterPoliticalTurnsSleepAbilityResultsProgressEventsAffairProsperityScalesVainPermanentDepartmentSurprisingPillowHideousNoisyCorrespondingPublic Good Book:Intuitions and Summaries of Thought Source: Intuitions and Summaries of Thought

“If we return abruptly to a Miocene-like climate, it's reasonable to think that we would experience a lot of extinctions, and maybe even a mass extinction in the long term. Would the life on Earth be radically different? Of course we can't say for sure, but I think a lot of it would look familiar. Like a lot of people, I worry a lot about whether marine mammals would survive, especially whales. Ocean acidification is one of the major killers in climate change events, and that makes the ocean a very inhospitable place.” PeopleIfsThinkingLooksLongDifferentEarthCoursesTermWorryEventsReturnOceanMajorsMassClimateClimate ChangeFamiliarLong TermReasonableKillersMarineExtinctionWhalesMammalsMass ExtinctionOcean Acidification Author:Annalee Newitz
