By far the most important finding from the genome sequencing project] for all of us mortals is that every difference you can see in this crowd, skin color, body shape, eye color, everything you can see that is not age-related, is lodged in a half of one percent of our genome. Otherwise we are all 99.5% identical. And we all spend 99.5% of our time, worrying about that half a percent that's different. Right? Our brains are programmed to box us. If we have no ability to create boxes, man, woman, boy girl old young, wide narrow long short, we wouldn't be able to function, but if we can't think out of our boxes than we are doomed to whatever path we're on when our growth stops. So, the great trick of the modern world is going to be to get a critical mass of people who can think rationally within all the boxes that we need and find more of them and smaller and smaller ones, but also can imagine what we have to do to come to the simple conclusion, confirmed now by science, that what we have in common is more interesting than our differences.
