Letter "O" » one species
«The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence.»
«We have no organ at all for knowledge, for ''truth'': we ''know'' (or believe or imagine) precisely as much as may be useful in the interest of the human herd, the species: and even what is here called ''usefulness'' is in the end only a belief, something imagined and perhaps precisely that most fatal piece of stupidity by which we shall one day perish.»
