QuoteMost definitely. I'm actually in a debate on another site over whether or not humans qualify as "the dominant species"
I'd be interested in what other species could possibly be dominant. The only "humans-are-not-dominant" arguments i could see would be "there is no dominant species" or "influenza is the dominant species".
"The perfect is the enemy of the good." - Voltaire

Ishmayl-Retired

Well, in all fairness, Daniel Quinn doesn't actually say that.  What he says is (basically) "Humans are the dominant species, but for the sake of the planet, they should not run roughshod over everything."
!turtle Ishmayl, Overlord of the CBG

- Proud Recipient of the Kishar Badge
- Proud Wearer of the \"Help Eldo Set up a Glossary\" Badge
- Proud Bearer of the Badge of the Jade Stage
- Part of the WikiCrew, striving to make the CBG Wiki the best wiki in the WORLD

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

SDragon

Actually, I had the understanding that his stuff leaned more towards the "no such thing as a dominate species" approach. Of course, I've only read his first two books (so far!), and I don't think he actually made any direct mention to the issue of "dominant species" in either of those.

Maybe somebody should start another thread on this, so we can continue with the quotes?

Quote from: IshmaylDaniel Quinn rocks.

Ugh.  Don't get me started on him - he's worthless (in my humble opinion).

Anyway, my favorite quote is conveniently located in my signature.

By the way, "mental hygiene", as far as i can tell, means "having any kind of plan for when someone suffers a mental illness".

You sir, have uncovered my master plan.  The fluoridation of drinking water, thereby sapping and impurifying your precious bodily fluids, is thwarted yet again.  Curses!  I claim no responsibility for either the Polio Monkey Serum (whatever that is...) or Mental Hygiene.  You imposed those upon yourselves.

:lol:

"If you could have me locked in a room for 24 hours, what would you do?"
"Play d&d with you!"
"for 24 hours? I don't think I could handle that much."
"Sure you could, but we would have to record the last four hours."
"Why?"
"Between the fantasy roleplaying, sleep deprevation, and energy drinks..."

Gwaihir Windlord

Love is like racing through the frozen tundra on a snowmobile, which flips over trapping you underneath.  At night, the ice weasels come.

-Some writer, I forget his name.
Yesterday upon the stair
I met a man that wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish that man would go away

It is amazing to think of how much chaos ten trained men can wreak.  Our world as we know it is easier to destroy then we should like to think.
-Me

Let us have a moment of silence for those who perished in those three days of terror in Mumbai

this is the best thing ever.
