“[G]enes make enzymes, and enzymes control the rates of chemical processes. Genes do not make "novelty seeking" or any other complex and overt behavior. Predisposition via a long chain of complex chemical reactions, mediated through a more complex series of life's circumstances, does not equal identification or even causation.” LongDoeProcessCircumstancesEqualBehaviorSeriesComplexesRateSeekingReactionsChainsChemicalsGenesNoveltyIdentificationCausationChemical ReactionsEnzymes Author:Stephen Jay Gould
“We are close to dead. There are faces and bodies like gorged maggots on the dance floor, on the highway, in the city, in the stadium; they are a host of chemical machines who swallow the product of chemical factories, aspirin, preservatives, stimulant, relaxant, and breathe out their chemical wastes into a polluted air. The sense of a long last night over civilization is back again.” LongBodyLastsFacesNightCitiesAirProductsCivilizationWasteMachinesBreatheChemicalsHostFactoriesHighwaysLast NightStadiumsBack AgainDance FloorAspirinStimulantsMaggots Book:Cannibals and Christians Source: Cannibals and Christians
