More From Sylvia Earle

It's lonely at the top. ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre. the level of competition is thus fiercest for "realistic" goals, paradoxically making them the most time-consuming and energy consuming. it is easier to raise $10,000,000 than it is $1,000,000. it is easier to pick up the one perfect 10 in the bar than the five 8s.
Lonely Ninety Nine People
Look, we have existed for 4,000 years - 2,000 years in diaspora, in exile. nobody in the middle east speaks their original language but israel. when we started 64 years ago, we were 650,000 people. so, you know, we are maybe swimming a little bit against the stream, but we continue to swim.
Swimming Years Israel
It is absurd to say that our country can issue $30,000,000 in bonds and not $30,000,000 in currency. both are promises to pay; but one promise fattens the usurer (banker), and the other helps the people. if the currency issued by the government were no good, then the bonds issued would be no good either. it is a terrible situation when the government, to increase the national wealth, must go into debt and submit to ruinous interest charges at the hands of men who control the fictitious values of gold.

That is to say, under the old way any time we wish to add to the national wealth we are compelled to add to the national debt. now, that is what henry ford wants to prevent. he thinks it is stupid, and so do i, that for the loan of $30,000,000 of their own money the people of the united states should be compelled to pay $66,000,000 - that is what it amounts to, with interest.
Stupid Thinking People
It takes these very simple-minded instructions - 'go fetch a number, add it to this number, put the result there, perceive if it's greater than this other number' - but executes them at a rate of, let's say, 1,000,000 per second. at 1,000,000 per second, the results appear to be magic.
Technology Simple Numbers
I think a colony in space will take much longer than sci fiction writers think. it costs $10,000 to put a pound of anything into near earth orbit. that is your weight in gold. it costs about $100,000 a pound to put you on the moon. and it costs $1,000,000 a pound to put you on mars.

All who think cannot but see there is a sanction like that of religion which binds us in partnership in the serious work of the world.

The perpetrators of the actual bad stuff that does real and lasting harm to people, like leakage of industrial chemicals into water systems, seem to get not so much as a second glance; the bloviation from media pundits and think tanks creates false problems that waste time and energy debunking.
