“We are built as gene machines and cultured as meme machines, but we have the power to turn against our creators. We, alone on earth, can rebel against the tyranny of the selfish replicators.”
I bought a bunch of model kits years ago, I enjoy building and painting, but never had the time. Now I have the time, but it turns out I can’t see the small parts, and I shake too much to paint. Whatever you love doing, do it now if you can.
-Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene, 1976
