Three Quotes

"Only with the advent of capitalism did development become a global and universal principle, subsuming and reshaping every form of life in its territorial and economic expansion." (Haider & Mohandesi, Jacobin)

"An animal’s nervous system does not have to compute or represent exact positions and speeds for its legs before initiating an action, but can rely on the fact that the physics of the swinging leg can provide the sensory feedback needed to make small motor corrections on the fly." (Allen, Footnote)

"But people aren't like gas particles or biological billiard balls. We evolved behavioral flexibility and complex interdependent variable reactions." (Bhalla, Scientific American)
