    La culture n'est pas séparée de la vie même, comme un havre de paix au mitan d'une ville surpeuplée. On peut être cultivé comme on respire, c’est la première chose à apprendre, ou rapprendre. La culture ne se porte pas comme une médaille sur la poitrine, mais bien comme une nourriture au creux de l’estomac.

    Everything man is and does is modified by learning and is therefore malleable. But once learned, these behavior patterns, these habitual responses, these ways of interacting gradually sink below the surface of the mind and, like the admiral of a submerged submarine fleet, control from the depths. The hidden controls are usually experienced as though they were innate simply because they are not only ubiquitous but habitual as well.

    Science is the only news.When you scan through a newspaper or magazine, all the human interest stuff is the same old he-said-she-said, the politics and economics the same sorry cyclic dramas, the fashions a pathetic illusion of newness, and even the technology is predictable if you know the science.Human nature doesn’t change much; science does, and the change accrues, altering the world irreversibly. - Whole Earth Discipline (2009), page 216.
