  1. Darwin's expression, "the struggle for existence," is sometimes erroneously interpreted as the struggle between different species. In reality, the struggle Darwin was thinking of and which drives evolution forward is the competition between near relations. What causes a species to disappear or become transformed into a different species is the profitable "invention" that falls by chance to one or a few of its members in the everlasting gamble of hereditary change. The descendants of these lucky ones gradually outstrip all others until the particular species consists only of individuals who possess the new "invention."
    -- Konrad Lorenz (On Aggression)

  3. Today it is an empty room – once, perhaps, it was a room filled with hopeless despair, but also with desperate hope.
    Sometimes it’s good to leave a window open, so that certain feelings and thoughts can escape.

  8. Castelo di Calatubo

    Alcamo, province of Trapani, Sicily.

  9. On my walk this weekend I went past this abandoned mansion, built by a Victorian stockbroker in the 1860s. You can barely see it from the track but the whole place is falling into ruin. But as I walked past, I could hear the calls of peacocks. Presumably now wild, and it made me think post apocalyptic thoughts. #ruins #walking #history

  14. Nobody seems to realize that we import twice or three times as many jobs as we export. We are exporting low-skill, low-paying jobs but are importing high-skill, high-paying jobs. Consequently, the industries that are moving jobs out of the U.S. are the most backward industries. The U.S. remains the cheapest place in the world to produce for many of the more advanced industries. ...employee benefits are much cheaper than in Europe, and American workers are more flexible.
