It Terrified Me To Have An Idea

My Parents Are Both College Professors, And It Made Me Want To Question Authority, Standards And Traditions.

I Probably Have Fundamentally Antisocial Tendencies. I Never Took One Extracurricular Activity. I Just Failed Utterly At That Level. Part Of Me Still Rebels Against That.

I Also Wanted Remembering The Past Relevant To The Present. Some People Wanted Me To Put The Names In Alphabetical Order. I Wanted Them In Chronological Order So That A Veteran Could Find His Time Within The Panel. It's Like A Thread Of Life.

Some Artists Want To Confront. Some Want To Invoke Thought. They're All Necessary And They're All Valid.

I Always Give The Analogy Of The Earth At Night Picture, Of 7.3 Billion Of Us, Right? And Everyone Says, "well, That's Population." Well, If You Took The Entire World's Population And You Lived At The Density Of Manhattan Proper - Not A Bad Place To Live - How Much Space Do 7.3 Billion People Take Up? The State Of Colorado. At Which Point I End My Lectures, Because I Want You To Be Thinking ... Is This Really A Question Of Population, Or Is This A Question Of Land Use And Resource Consumption? And Let's Face It, The Top 1.3 Billion Of Us Are Doing All The Damage. Sorry.
