Kim Stanley Robinson quotes - page 6

And all this vast articulated structure of a culture stood out in the open sun of day, accessible to anyone who wanted to join, who was willing and able to do the work; there were no secrets, there were no closed shops, and if every lab and every specialization had its politics, that was just politics; and in the end politics could not materially affect the structure itself, the mathematical edifice of their understanding of the phenomenal world. (Kim Stanley Robinson)
And the mind-body connection was so strong-so strong that the distinction itself was probably false, a vestige of Cartesian metaphysics or earlier religious views of the soul. Mind was one body's life. Memory was mind. And so, by a simple transitive equation, memory equaled life. So that with memory gone, life was gone. View quote
