More From Kary Mullis

Nature prefers the more probable states to the less probable because in nature processes take place in the direction of greater probability. heat goes from a body at higher temperature to a body at lower temperature because the state of equal temperature distribution is more probable than a state of unequal temperature distribution.

Your medical documents will say acquired immune deficiency syndrome that is aids. what that means you have got this challenge of immune deficiency. alright what causes immune deficiency? hiv. alright. is that all that causes immune deficiency? the medical textbooks will say there are other things that cause immune deficiency. there is also genetic immune deficiency that is a different phenomenon.
Mean Challenges Different
There's so much stigma around hiv/aids. it's a challenging issue, and the people that already have been tested and know their status find it very, very hard to disclose their status, to live with that virus, and to even seek out the kind of information they need. this experience of going to south africa a decade ago really woke me up to the scale of the hiv/aids pandemic in sub-saharan africa, how it was affecting women and their children. i haven't been able to walk away from it.

The issue, as correctly emphasized by carl sagan, is the probability of the evolution of high intelligence and an electronic civilization on an inhabited world. once we have life (and almost surely it will be very different from life on earth), what is the probability of its developing a lineage with high intelligence? on earth, among millions of lineages of organisms and perhaps 50 billion speciation events, only one led to high intelligence; this makes me believe in its utter improbability.

I spent the past week here in india getting a sense of the reality of hiv and aids in people's lives. fathers and mothers are dying, leaving children with no support. stigma and discrimination is ruining the family lives. there is an urgent need for education, information, and increased awareness of hiv and aids. the response needs to be now. we cannot afford to become fatigued.

Hiv/aids is the greatest danger we have faced for many, many centuries. hiv/aids is worse than a war. it is like a world war. millions of people are dying from it.

Some people believe that the nuclear bomb should be awarded the nobel peace prize, since it scared the major powers away from war by equating it with doomsday.
War Believe People
We always make the mistake, the fatal mistake in the case of military people, of imagining that each war will be a kind of version of the one that happened previously.
Military War Mistake
Whenever you have a possibility of going in two ways, either for peace or for war, for peaceful methods of for military methods, in the present age there is a strong prejudice for the peaceful ones. war seldom ever leads to good results.
