Will Human Nature destroy Nature and Humans?
I have trouble with modern art. But in general, all art forms fascinate me - art is the way human beings express what we can't say in words.
The way I see politics is, I don't think it's cynical to accept the fact politicians are human beings, that they're flawed, and they represent the best and the worst of us.
I think the best thing that you can do with your kids is to talk to them like they're human beings, not like they're children and they don't know what they're doing.
With the monstrous weapons man already has, humanity is in danger of being trapped in this world by its moral adolescents.
