Craig Packer Quotes

We May Live In Concrete Nests Piled On Top Of Each Other, We May File In And Out Of Our Planes And Freeways In Neat Lines, But We Are Making It All Up As We Go Along. An Ant Is Born Into A Complex Chemical Environment Where Every Small Instruction Had Been Laid Down In Advance. Mother Tells The Workers What To Do And They Do Everything For The Greater Good Of Their Enormous Family.
In Contrast, Every Human Being Is Capable Of Working For The Advancement Of Their Own Procreating, Their Own Minuscule Families. Yet We Somehow Recognize The Value Of A Larger Form Of Society, And Readily Respond To A Larger World Beyond Our Own Narrow Self-interests. With Our Unique Creative Capacity, We Have Modified Ourselves As We Have Modified Our Physical Conditions, And We Have Developed An Extraordinary Division Of Labor. You And I May Be As Different As Night And Day, But That Is Our Strength, And It Is Precisely This Diversification That Makes My Time In Africa So Intensely Satisfying.
