“Consider yourself and the cello. As you play the music moves out to the listener, and also enters the core of your own being, for somehow you are tuned to the cello. Well, I am persuaded that this is because you are a chord. I am a chord. Our DNA dictates our physicality-made up of billions of little notes-on a basic level. Add to that our geography, background et cetera, and you have your original score. Life is the layering of chords, but the underlying one that we are will never change. This brings us to string theory and love. Our personal chord resonates with the personal ones of others, and sometimes we encounter another person who is completely harmonious with us. It is a dominant, overwhelming attraction on the DNA level. However, such a person can appear to be our opposite-and that's where this 'opposites attract' notion comes from-because they have tuned their chord in a different way. In reality, we are attracted to the person we have chosen not to become, an alternative adjustment to a chord that is nearly the same as our own. The clashing portions of the chords sounding together advance the richness of it. So when you make love you aren't expressing emotions or showing affection, you are merging melodies. You are players in the same symphony.”

“Another way is via genetic engineering. Here the germ is inserted into plasmid that has been manipulated by scientists. This type of plasmid is circular segments of DNA extracted from bacteria to serve as a vector. Scientists can add multiple genes and whatever genes they want into this plasmid. In case of vaccines, this includes a genetic piece of the vaccine germ and normally a gene for antibiotic resistance. This means that when the toxic gene is cultured inside the yeast, it has been designed with a new genetic code that makes it resistant to the antibiotic it’s coded for. The gene-plasmid combo is inserted into a yeast cell to be replicated. When the yeast replicates, the DNA from the plasmid is reproduced as a part of the yeast DNA. Once enough cells have been replicated, the genetic material in the new and improved yeast cell is extracted and put into the vaccine. Examples of this vaccine are the acellular pertussis and hepatitis B vaccines. One thing that doesn’t seem to concern scientists is the fact that the manmade genetic combination becomes the vaccine component. This mixture of intended and unintended genetic information may cause our immune system to overreact. This can be especially complicated for a child with compromised immune system. Another concern is that this new genetic code can become integrated with our own genetic material. Yeast, for instance, is very much like human DNA. It shares about one third of our proteins.”

“As more and more data flows from your body and brain to the smart machines via the biometric sensors, it will become easy for corporations and government agencies to know you, manipulate you, and make decisions on your behalf. Even more importantly, they could decipher the deep mechanisms of all bodies and brains, and thereby gain the power to engineer life. If we want to prevent a small elite from monopolising such godlike powers, and if we want to prevent humankind from splitting into biological castes, the key question is: who owns the data? Does the data about my DNA, my brain and my life belong to me, to the government, to a corporation, or to the human collective?”

“I think it is legitimate to take a broader view and include externally transmitted information, as well as DNA, in the evolution of the human race.”

“He smiled through his greasy glasses with his clear eyes. “Why do we all expect to be happy? We all came out of our mothers crying. Pain is what we do.â€�
It reminded me of a tweet from Alain Botton several years back that sparked a Twitter chat between the two of us: “Happiness is generally impossible for longer than fifteen minutes. We are the descendants of creatures who, above all else, worried.�
Indeed. The great worriers of history were the ones who saw the charging rhinoceros first, had an action plan ready to go should a tiger in camp, fretted that the basket of weeds collected that they may be poisonous. We carry this terror in our genes into our suburban lounge rooms, to our office water coolers, to our IKEA-issue bedrooms.
Worry is our default position.”
― Sarah Wilson, First, We Make the Beast Beautiful: A New Story About Anxiety

“Evolution has performed experiment after experiment and found simple rules that work well in many contexts. It has downloaded much of this knowledge into our DNA. This comprises 10 megabytes, a very compact description indeed of such a complex world. I argue that this understanding arises from exploiting this compact description of the world”

“We’re at a point in time where we have the resources and tools available to us to break the chains of our karmic patterning. We’re in fact creating new possibilities; the universe, source, doesn’t create the same thing verbatim twice, even if it looks the same on the surface the internal makeup, the DNA, the experience is unique.”

“Acting activates every cell, never, neuron, and everything that happened to your DNA a million years ago as well as everything that will happen a million years from now. If we didn’t believe that, we wouldn’t be interested in acting. If acting didn’t include something more than we could ever comprehend, we don’t think we would want to pursue it. Acting is so incredible that it gives an audience the potential to experience anything that will ever happen in the history of the world. That is why we call acting the human condition. It takes an incredible amount of intensity and passion to truly be an actor.”
― Paul G. Gleason, Acting for Love & Money

“No investigation of the human story in the Americas [...] can ignore the role of Siberia as a crossroads in the migrations of our ancestors. Moreover, despite the fact that only a tiny fraction of its vast area has yet been sampled by archaeologists, we already know that anatomically modern humans were present in both western and Arctic Siberia at least as far back as 45,000 years ago. We know, too, that DNA studies have revealed close genetic relationships between Native Americans and Siberians that speak to a deep and ancient connection.”

“We and our world are not different just as a drop of a sea and the sea are not different. We are the world and the world is us. Just like every single cell in the body of a person has the same DNA, we too are a microcosm of everything that is out there in the world. We have evolved with the world and we are one with it.”

“I think part of the reason escapism is a predominate aspect of American arts—especially cinema—is because that’s what’s in our DNA. Our ancestors came here to avoid whatever was happening where they were originally from. Escapism is literally in our genes.”

“The plants here aren't like anything on Earth," I tried to explain one night. "They have cells I can't explain. On Earth, all seeds have one or two embryonic leaves, but here they have three or five or eight."

“To some extent, a similarity with others can be possible; however, no one has been entirely the same in no way. Since as thumbs lines and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) match not with others, in the same way, character, and attitude hold variant impacts of everyone as well.”

“La vita è imperfetta, noi siamo essere imperfetti e fragili, la nostra speranza di controllare e indirizzare le cose, la spinta a ricercare una perfezione in noi e in ciò che ci circonda, è pura e stupida illusione. Dovremmo semplicemente accettare le fragilità, accettare l’idea che dall’imperfezione possa nascere qualcosa di piú evoluto, renderle omaggio, come fa quella tecnica giapponese, il Kintsugi, letteralmente «riparare con l’oro», che usa il prezioso metallo per tenere insieme i cocci rotti. Ogni ceramica riparata sarà originale e inimitabile, perché le crepe non potranno mai essere uguali (a proposito dell’entropia). Gli sbagli, le imperfezioni e le fragilità ci arricchiscono, ci rendono unici, piú interessanti. Di piú, ci proteggono. Se il codice genetico di ognuno si riproducesse senza errori (piccole falle nel sistema), i nostri figli sarebbero fotocopie perfette di noi stessi e, come tali, soggetti alle medesime malattie, con gli stessi punti deboli. Gli errori che commette il Dna (le cosiddette mutazioni) nel riprodursi sono la nostra salvezza, perché ci diversificano l’uno dall’altro, garantiscono la variabilità genetica, in base alla quale alcuni si fortificano e riescono a sopravvivere. Se fossimo tutti uguali, al contrario, basterebbe un niente a cancellarci dalla faccia della Terra. Se fossimo asessuati (come le piante, o anche alcuni insetti e crostacei), se non ci riproducessimo cioè attraverso il sesso, che rimescola il gene, saremmo molto piú vulnerabili perché omologati.
Il sesso è una prevenzione naturale.
Non ricordo dove l’ho sentita, ma mi piace assai.”
