Studying and understanding our complex past is the most intimate look at what makes us human. With this knowledge, one can begin to understand the meaning of life.
I would like to see human capabilities, talents and technology involved in a grand long term exploratory effort that culminates in making the human species a multi planet species. That's I think our long term destiny, if we're not so foolish as to destroy ourselves first.
-Carl Sagan
Some Quotes from onelife.com, John Stevenson.
Man needs inner conflict, it is the essence of his life. His value, then, lies in his unique solution. Without conflict, what difference does a solution make? Who cares?

If the human is to survive, the real knowledge uncovered in the sciences must be used as a basis for a uniform human ethical and moral behavioral system, thereby freeing the human for full attention to species survival.
