More From Kevin Kelly

Just because you’ve only been alive for fifteen years doesn’t mean you’re less anything except old. that’s all it means. it doesn’t mean you’re less experienced. it doesn’t mean you’re less intelligent. it doesn’t mean you’re less sensitive. it doesn’t mean you take things less seriously. it’s like, these are younger human beings, meaning don’t, because they’re only ten, start thinking that they don’t know what you’re talking about -because they do. don’t leave people out in the cold, and don’t talk down to people -don’t. it never works out.
Mean Thinking Intelligent
Science is the key to our future, and if you don’t believe in science, then you’re holding everybody back. and it’s fine if you as an adult want to run around pretending or claiming that you don’t believe in evolution, but if we educate a generation of people who don’t believe in science, that’s a recipe for disaster. we talk about the internet. that comes from science. weather forecasting. that comes from science. the main idea in all of biology is evolution. to not teach it to our young people is wrong.
Running Believe Keys
Clothing sizes are weird, they go: small, medium, large and then extra large, extra extra large, extra extra extra large. something happened at large, they just gave up. they were like, 'i'm not doing any more adjectives; you just keep putting extras on there.' we could do better than that: small, medium, large, whoa, easy, slow down, stop it, interesting, american.

The negative principle negates. the positive principle creates. the negative principle doubts. the positive principle believes. the negative principle accepts defeat. the positive principle goes for victory.
Believe Doubt Victory
Science is like society and trade, in resting at bottom upon a basis of faith. there are some things here, too, that we can not prove, otherwise there would be nothing we can prove. science is busy with the hither-end of things, not the thither-end. it is a mistake to contrast religion and science in this respect, and to think of religion as taking everything for granted, and science as doing only clean work, and having all the loose ends gathered up and tucked in. we never reach the roots of things in science more than in religion.
Mistake Science Thinking
Things come up from the outside, the outside world says, okay, you have do this, you have to go here and here and here, and these are your options. you can be here or you can be here. you can do this, or you can do this. you can go here, or you can go there. so each one of those things becomes a place of decision, and the way we make decisions is that we all get together and if somebody doesn't feel right about it or it doesn't seem to sit right, usually we'll go with the no vote. if somebody's not comfortable with it, we'll figure it's not going to be worth doing.
