“I think every citizen in Burlington has a right to voice their opinion and participate in the local political process no matter who they are or what they are or where they come from or what their religious beliefs are.

“We are nothing but the product of billions of years of molecules coming together and ratcheting up through natural selection, we are composed only of highways of fluids and chemicals sliding along roadways within billions of dancing cells, trillions of synaptic conversations hum in parallel, this vast egglike fabric of micron-thin circuitry runs algorithms undreamt of in modern science, and these neural programs give rise to our decision making, loves, desires, fears, and aspirations. That understanding would be a numinous experience, better than anything ever proposed in anyone's holy text.” GivingYearsWould BeRunningTogetherDesireUnderstandingNaturalDecisionModernProductsHolyConversationProgramDancingBillionsCellsAspirationDecision MakingChemicalsFabricMaking LoveSelectionHighwaysParallelsFluidMoleculesNatural SelectionModern ScienceComing TogetherAlgorithmsNuminous Author:David Eagleman
“In your 20s, crises tend to be about whether you are making the correct decisions for the rest of your life, namely in your job and relationship. In your 30s, work-related issues and break-ups feature prominently. In your 40s, for women bereavement is often an issue. For men, it is still to do with their job but it has moved to "Holy crap, I've got a lot to do". In your 50s, you get features of both early and later life crises - bereavement and ill health. And that continues in your 60s, with retirement-related issues and heightened awareness of mortality.” MenDecisionAwarenessHolyCrisisMovedIllMortalityCrapBereavement Author:Oliver Robinson
