« In fact, human beings abhor instability. This translates into the fantasy of ownership. In reality, man can never own anything since he is a mere tenant. Property is an illusion because it only lasts a limited time. If you buy land and leave it to your children, it will stay in the family (at best) for maybe two or three generations but will eventually be resold. Buying an apartment is another form of renting as it involves the repayment of a credit and property taxes. Man seeks forms of stability, while the world around him keeps changing. It would be better to adapt to survive in an environment in permanent transformation (this is the theory of the Red Queen). »

Science has been built with controversy. This does not mean that all the decisions taken by majority were the right ones, but it avoids a "totalitarian" attitude, which aims to impose a single thought. Thus, sometimes, the original idea was crushed because it was against the majority idea. This is what happened with The Theory of Lamarck Killed by Cuvier. Today however its theory has been rehabilitated. »
