I would recommend that skeptics devote even more effort than they do now to understanding the reasons why so many people want or need to believe.

I have been interested in phenomena involving complexity, diversity and evolution since I was a young boy.

If we look at the way the universe behaves, quantum mechanics gives us fundamental, unavoidable indeterminacy, so that alternative histories of the universe can be assigned probability.

But I don't actually adopt the point of view that our subjective impression of free will, which is a kind of indeterminacy behavior, comes from quantum mechanical indeterminacy.

The persistence of erroneous beliefs exacerbates the widespread anachronistic failure to recognize the urgent problems that face humanity on this planet.

We are driven by the usual insatiable curiosity of the scientist, and our work is a delightful game.

Niels Bohr brainwashed a whole generation of theorists into thinking that the job (interpreting quantum theory) was done 50 years ago.
