Could it ever be explained, how matter becomes conscious?

When we go on about the big things, the political situation, global warming, world poverty, it all looks really terrible, with nothing getting better, nothing to look forward to. But when I think small, closer in - you know, a girl I've just met, or this song we're going to do with Chas, or snowboarding next month, then it looks great. So this is going to be my motto - think small.

Let the guilty bury the innocent, and let no one change the evidence

i'm going mad, i told myself. let me not be mad.

And though you think the world is at your feet, it can rise up and tread on you.

Not everything people did could be in a correct, logical order, especially when they were alone.

In a nuclear age, and in an age of serious environmental degradation, apocalyptic belief creates a serious second order danger. The precarious logic of self-interest that saw us through the Cold War would collapse if the leaders of one nuclear state came to welcome, or ceased to fear mass death.
