“How can we distinguish what is biologically determined from what people merely try to justify through biological myths? A good rule of thumb is 鈥楤iology enables, Culture forbids.鈥� Biology is willing to tolerate a very wide spectrum of possibilities. It鈥檚 culture that obliges people to realize some possibilities while forbidding others. Biology enables women to have children 鈥� some cultures oblige women to realize this possibility. Biology enables men to enjoy sex with one another 鈥� some cultures forbid them to realize this possibility. Culture tends to argue that it forbids only that which is unnatural. But from a biological perspective, nothing is unnatural. Whatever is possible is by definition also natural. A truly unnatural behavior, one that goes against the laws of nature, simply cannot exist.”

“This is the paradox of historical knowledge. Knowledge that does not change behaviour is useless. But knowledge that changes behaviour loses its relevance. The more data we have and the better we understand history, the faster history alters its course, and the faster our knowledge becomes outdated.”

“Huius (sapientis) opus unum est de divinis humanisque verum invenire; ab hac numquam recedit religio, pietas, iustitia ...”

“Sapient or Savage (The Sonnet)

To be or not to be,
That is not the question.
To be human or stay animal,
That is the question.
Human and animal,
What is the difference!
To be animal is to be selfish,
To be human is to go beyond the self.
There's more to life than us and them,
There's more to life than loss and gain.
There's more to life than money and fame,
There's more to life than dogmatic lanes.
To be or not to be, that is not the question.
Be sapient or stay savage, it's your decision.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Find A Cause Outside Yourself: Sermon of Sustainability

“But the mistery of the woman is no less a mystery than death. Childbirth is no less a mystery; nor the flow of the mother's milk; nor the menstrual cycle -in its accord with the moon. The creative magic of the female body is a thing of wonder in itself.”

“El destino obliga a todos los miembros de la raza humana a comprender su aislamiento, su individualidad, su sometimiento abyecto a las duras condiciones de la existencia mortal.”

“For the human mind in its polarity of the male and female modes of experience, in its passages from infancy to adulthood and old age, in its toughness and tenderness, and in its continuing dialogue with the world, is the ultimate mythogenetic zone -the creator and destroyer, the slave and yet the master, of all the gods.”

“Hay que decir que nunca sobrevaloraremos la importancia del lenguaje en la vida de los seres humanos. En realidad, lo que hace que seamos humanos y no ya una especie m谩s de simios es nuestra capacidad de hablar. Esto nos ha dado poder para crear una herencia social, de modo que nos es dado acumular el conocimiento amasado en el pasado, y nos ha dado tambi茅n el poder de analizar la experiencia, que nos llega en forma muy ca贸tica, y darle un sentido en funci贸n de nuestros particulares fines biol贸gicos y sociales. 脡ste es el don m谩s grande que el hombre jam谩s ha recibido o se ha dado a s铆 mismo, el don del lenguaje.
Pero hemos de recordar que a pesar de que el lenguaje nos es absolutamente esencial, puede ser tambi茅n absolutamente fatal porque lo utilizamos indebidamente.”
― Aldous Huxley, Huxley and God: Essays on Religious Experience

“Hoy en d铆a, despu茅s de dos guerras mundiales y tres revoluciones decisivas, sabemos que no existe por fuerza ninguna correlaci贸n entre la tecnolog铆a avanzada y la moralidad avanzada. Muchos hombres primitivos cuyo control sobre su entorno es rudimentario, se las ingenian a pesar de todo para ser felices, virtuosos y, dentro de sus limitaciones, creativos. A la inversa, los miembros de las sociedades civilizadas, pose铆dos por los recursos tecnol贸gicos que les permiten ejercer un considerable control sobre el entorno, a menudo son llamativamente infelices, est谩n inadaptados y en modo alguno son creativos; si bien la moral privada es tolerablemente buena, la conducta colectiva es salvaje, hasta el punto de rayar en la monstruosidad.”

“Sapiens (Sonnet 1410)

Sapiens is a promise
to stand grounded in people,
Sapiens is a duty
to stand firm on principle.

Sapiens is an alarm
to wake up from apathy,
Sapiens is mindful revolt
against inherited atrocity.

Sapiens is rightful rebellion
against dehumanizing intellect,
Sapiens is sentient uproar
against puritanism boneheaded.

Sapiens is the saintly answer
to the clarion call of life,
True sapiens is saintly sapiens,
all else is desecration of life.”
