I've always been a FAN of martial arts, even before I did jiu-jitsu tournaments. I did point karate tournaments and wrestled in high school. To me, it was just an EVOLUTION and mixed martial arts was the next step. I just WANTED to COMPETE and TRAIN in it. I had no illusions of it being a paying gig.

Every START is an opportunity to get better and to learn how your body is feeling and what you NEED to do moving FORWARD. It's been an evolution throughout the YEAR.

Mammals are sentient BEINGS that want to LIVE and are AFRAID to die. EVOLUTION vouchsafed us all with an INSTINCT to survive, reproduce and flourish.

Whether conservative or LIBERAL, fundamentalist or agnostic, the more students LEARN of BIOLOGY, the more they ACCEPT EVOLUTION.

Kubrick's VISION seemed to be that humans are doomed, whereas Clarke's is that humans are moving on to a better stage of EVOLUTION.

I have not the slightest doubt that this FORM of individuation represents a HIGHER STAGE in the EVOLUTION of MANKIND.

The more SPECIFIC idea of Evolution now reached is - a change from an INDEFINITE, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity, accompanying the dissipation of MOTION and INTEGRATION of MATTER.

We've been going through a massive THOUGHT EVOLUTION and MANY taboos have been BROKEN.

If you start any large theory, such as QUANTUM MECHANICS, PLATE tectonics, EVOLUTION, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia has been GOING for only 30 years or so.

Life clearly does more than adapt to the Earth. It changes the Earth to its own PURPOSES. EVOLUTION is a TIGHTLY coupled dance, with life and the material environment as partners. From the dance emerges the entity Gaia.

You have to LOOK at HISTORY as an EVOLUTION of SOCIETY.

If EVOLUTION is outlawed, only outlaws will EVOLVE.

I think SPOTIFY really does help. If you're going with the EVOLUTION of music these days, it's only BECOMING more and more popular and I don't think it's SOMETHING to be shunned.

I HEARD that Jesus had a pet DINOSAUR. EVOLUTION must be a myth then.

This is actually a very important principle that science is LEARNING about large systems like EVOLUTION and that futurists are learning about anticipating human society: just because a FUTURE scenario is plausible doesn't MEAN we can get there from here.
