Human Beings at the Center:
"I am quite confident that the biogeneticists will not be able to design a better human because we are omnidirectional and you can’t improve on the middle and the more symmetrical we are, the nearer we are to the middle. So I am talking about all these aberrations: that’s the trouble when you get asymmetric…
"I will explain it to you omnidirectionally. Human beings are–as far as I can find out–in the really center of things. We have in all other living organisms, having really special equipment built-in, fastened in, that gives them special advantages in special environments. But human beings are unique in that they don’t have this built in, that they are in the center of things, that they have this mind which discovers principles and if they employ the principles they can fly better than the bird with his wings; they can dive deeper than the whale which was designed just for that water–who can’t get along without it.
“We can go into all the different environments with our mind,”
