What People Think Of As The Moment

We Were Told In One Lecture That It Was Possible To Immunize Against Diphtheria And Tetanus By The Use Of Chemically Treated Toxins, Or Toxoids. And The Following Lecture, We Were Told That For Immunization Against A Virus Disease, You Have To Experience The Infection, And That You Could Not Induce Immunity With The So-called "killed" Or Inactivated, Chemically Treated Virus Preparation. Well, Somehow, That Struck Me. What Struck Me Was That Both Statements Couldn't Be True. And I Asked Why This Was So, And The Answer That Was Given Was In A Sense, 'because.' There Was No Satisfactory Answer.

Nothing Happens Quite By Chance. It's A Question Of Accretion Of Information And Experience ... It's Just Chance That I Happened To Be Here At This Particular Time When There Was Available And At My Disposal The Great Experience Of All The Investigators Who Plodded Along For A Number Of Years.

I Speak About Universal Evolution And Teleological Evolution, Because I Think The Process Of Evolution Reflects The Wisdom Of Nature. I See The Need For Wisdom To Become Operative. We Need To Try To Put All Of These Things Together In What I Call An Evolutionary Philosophy Of Our Time.

I Feel That The Greatest Reward For Doing Is The Opportunity To Do More.

As A Bio-philosopher - As Someone Who Draws Upon The Scriptures Of Nature, Recognizing That We Are The Product Of The Process Of Evolution, And In A Sense, We Have Become The Process Itself - Through The Emergence And Evolution Of Our Consciousness, Our Awareness, Our Capacity To Imagine And To Anticipate The Future And To Choose From Amongst Alternatives.
