"We are such small, stupid things. For most of my life I thought of nature as the stupid thing: Blind, animal, destructive. We, the humans, were clean and smart and in control: we had wrestled the rest of the world into submission, battered it down, pinned it to a glass slide and the pages of The Bool of Shhh."

"The current understanding was that it was impossible to predict how something would evolve because it was a very turbulent environment full of things interacting with each other."

"Each system is trying to anticipate change in the environment."
Change
"Species go extinct because there are historical contraints built into a given body or a given design."
Design
"But in a turbulent environment the change is so widespread that it just routes around any kind of central authority. So it is best to manage the bottom-up change rather than try to institute it from the top down."
