Our brain is mapping the world. Often that map is distorted, but it's a map with constant immediate sensory input.

We think of our eyes as video cameras and our brains as blank tapes to be filled with sensory inputs.

I doubt that most people with short-term thinking love the natural world enough to save it.

An individual ant, even though it has a brain about a millionth of a size of a human being's, can learn a maze; the kind we use is a simple rat maze in a laboratory. They can learn it about one-half as fast as a rat.

The ant world is a tumult, a noisy world of pheromones being passed back and forth.

Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.
