More From Stephen Jay Gould

The trouble is that millennials and many recent products of the public schools believe that america was made great, if they're even taught that it's great, if they're taught that it's great, you know what they're told is the reason? diversity. there's diversity all over the world. you can go to places where there is diversity out the wazoo, folks. you can go to places all over the place world and you can find the most diversity, you can find perfect diversity, however you find it. you will not find a united states.

The universe is an asymmetrical entity. i am inclined to believe that life as it is manifested to us must be a function of the asymmetry of the universe or of the consequence of this fact. the universe is asymmetrical; for if one placed the entire set of bodies that compose the solar system, each moving in its own way, before a mirror, the image shown would not be superimposable on the reality.

Katherine johnson never complained, it just was what it was. she just said, "i just wanted to go to work and do my numbers." and she stopped right there. i think about that as a black woman in hollywood when i'm asked about diversity. i hate when people say diversity because the first thing you jump to is black and white. when you talk about diversity, you're talking about women being hired in front of and behind the camera. you are talking about people with disabilities, the lgbtq community...so i hate when people think about diversity.
Hate Black And White Thinking
