All of these books inspired me. CotCB-to learn about herbs and natural remedies, Consilience- Research the philosophies of the Enlightenment, Cosmos- Everything I could know about the universe TCDoaEL- Learn everything I could about the calendar. I love books that turn me on to other subjects. 🤓#inspiring #photoadaynov16

if history and science have taught us anything, it is that passion and desire are not the same as truth. The human mind evolved to believe in the gods. It did not evolve to believe in biology. Acceptance of the supernatural conveyed a great advantage throughout prehistory when the brain was evolving. Thus it is in sharp contrast to biology, which was developed as a product of the modern age and is not underwritten by genetic algorithms.

Kirstin E.O. Wilson is one of my heroes. Such an important book! 7y
