“Though seemingly remote from human sexuality, shorebird sexuality is instructive because it illustrates the main message of this book: a species’ sexuality is molded by other aspects of the species’ biology. It’s easier for us to acknowledge this conclusion about shorebirds, to which we don’t apply moral standards, than about ourselves.”
Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality • Jared Diamond“You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than with your current results.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear““A prince ought also to show himself a patron of ability, and to honour the proficient in every art.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“A doctor should never try to cure the incurable.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“In fact, one of the main lesson to be learned from the collapses of the Maya, Anasazi, Easter Islanders, and those other past societies (as well as from the recent collapse of the Soviet Union) is that a society's steep decline may begin only a decade or two after the society reaches its peak numbers, wealth, and power. [...] The reason is simple: maximum population, wealth, resource consumption, and waste production mean maximum environmental impact, approaching the limit where impact outstrips resources. On reflection, it's no surprise that declines of societies tend to follow swiftly on their peaks.”
