Quotes by Deirdre Barrett (?)

“Television is the first truly democratic culture—the first culture available to everybody and entirely governed by what the people want. The most terrifying thing is what people do want. —Clive Barnes”

“Our “pseudospecies” are those who look like us, believe the same things, or speak our language. Erikson said the pseudospecies provides people with a positive sense of identity but also obliterates our sense of other humans as our kin.”

“Back in Leiden, Tinbergen continued these explorations, now grounded in Lorenz’s theoretical concepts. He studied butterflies and found that marks on the torso of the female and its vibratory movements were the sole mating releasers—he
could construct dummy butterfly torsos with brighter stripes and more regular movements. Males would ignore a live female to mount cardboard cylinders that didn’t even need wings!”
