Throughout all of human history we have consumed the natural world. all creatures do. birds do. fish do. earthworms do. we consume the natural world as a source of our survival. but no creature has ever consumed at the scale that humans have, and now there are seven billion of us. i think the good news is that a large percentage of those seven billion minds can work to make better decisions.

One fish. two fish. red fish. blue fish. black fish. blue fish. old fish. new fish. this one has a little star. this one has a little car. say! what a lot of fish there are.

So, eventually, he made one final arrangement with himself, which he has religiously held to ever since, and that was to count each fish that he caught as ten, and to assume ten to begin with. for example, if he did not catch any fish at all, then he said he had caught ten fish - you could never catch less than ten fish by his system; that was the foundation of it. then, if by any chance he really did catch one fish, he called it twenty, while two fish would count thirty, three forty, and so on.

There is nothing very odd about lambs disliking birds of prey, but this is no reason for holding it against large birds of prey that they carry off lambs. and when the lambs whisper among themselves, "these birds of prey are evil, and does this not give us a right to say that whatever is the opposite of a bird of prey must be good," there is nothing intrinsically wrong with such an argument-though the birds of prey will look somewhat quizzically and say, we have nothing against these good lambs; in fact, we love them; nothing tastes better than a tender lamb.

I never said it. honest. oh, i said there are maybe 100 billion galaxies and 10 billion trillion stars. it's hard to talk about the cosmos without using big numbers. i said "billion" many times on the cosmos television series, which was seen by a great many people. but i never said "billions and billions." for one thing, it's too imprecise. how many billions are "billions and billions"? a few billion? twenty billion? a hundred billion? "billions and billions" is pretty vague. when we reconfigured and updated the series, i checked-and sure enough, i never said it.
