The worst kind of fundamentalism

"Technological fundamentalism, fueled by the industrial mind, is now worse than any religious brand of fundamentalism."

--Wes Jackson, President of the Land Institute, in an interview in the Atlantic.

Today is pick a random quote from the internet. I couldn't pick between these two.

1. "No matter what one thinks about gay rights—for, against or somewhere in between — this conservative resort to biblical authority is the worst kind of fundamentalism."

-- Jon Meacham - Newsweek, http://www.newsweek.com/2008/12/05/the-editor-s-desk.html


2. "I have never looked at a website in my life."

--Wes Jackson, President of the Land Institute, in an interview in the Atlantic.

More quotes from Wes Jackson:

"We can now realistically imagine at a time in the foreseeable future the marriage of ecology/evolutionary biology with agriculture in an expanding and robust sort of way."

"Often overlooked, but of equal importance, is the necessity to look upward in the hierarchy of the sciences to the ecosystem level, which makes ecology/evolutionary biology of greater importance to agriculture."

Is Martin favorably quoting a Darwinist?
