Quotes by Justin Gregg (?)

“Much like our capacity for causal inference, the human capacity for lying is one of the pillars that has shaped our success.”
― Justin Gregg, If Nietzsche Were a Narwhal: What Animal Intelligence Reveals About Human Stupidity

“I save slugs because it just seems sad to me to take away those things. To be indifferent to a mind that has miraculously sprung into existence after billions of years of nonexistence. What a miracle to exist here and now and have the capacity to experience this world.”
― Justin Gregg, If Nietzsche Were a Narwhal: What Animal Intelligence Reveals About Human Stupidity

“The absurdity of a narwhal experiencing an existential crisis is the key to understanding everything that is wrong about human thinking, and everything that is right about animal thinking.”

Hello fellow book lovers! I am psyched to announce that I just published a new book: Twenty Two Fantastical Facts about Dolphins. It's a collection of zany dolphin science trivia aimed at kids/grown-ups aged 12 and older. I've published it with my own indie press, with lots of help from local (Nova Scotian) editors/designers. Please do share with any dolphin aficionados in your life! Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0994...
