Citas de Julian Huxley

• Las implicaciones de la transferencia de plena soberanía de naciones separadas a una Organización Mundial. Será necesaria la unificación política en algún tipo de Gobierno Mundial. Aunque. . cualquier política eugenésica radical será durante muchos años política y psicológicamente imposible, con el mayor cuidado, y que la mente pública esté informada de las cuestiones en juego para que mucho de lo que ahora es impensable pueda al menos llegar a ser pensable.

• A medida que disminuye la libertad política y económica, la libertad sexual tiende a aumentar compensatoriamente y el dictador... hará bien en fomentar esa libertad junto con la libertad de soñar despierto bajo la influencia de la droga, el cine y la radio. Ayudará a reconciliar a sus súbditos con la servidumbre que es su destino.

• The lowest strata are reproducing too fast. Therefore... they must not have too easy access to relief or hospital treatment lest the removal of the last check on natural selection should make it too easy for children to be produced or to survive; long unemployment should be a ground for sterilisation.

• Sir Julian Huxley, one of the world's leading evolutionists, head of UNESCO, descendant of Thomas Huxley - Darwin's bulldog - said on a talk show, 'I suppose the reason we leaped at The Origin of Species was because the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores.'.

• It is essential for evolution to become the central core of any educational system, because it is evolution, in the broad sense, that links inorganic nature with life, and the stars with the earth, and matter with mind, and animals with man. Human history is a continuation of biological evolution in a different form.

• The god hypothesis is no longer of any pragmatic value for the interpretation or comprehension of nature, and indeed often stands in the way of better and truer interpretation. Operationally, God is beginning to resemble not a ruler, but the last fading smile of a cosmic Cheshire Cat.

• This earth is one of the rare spots in the cosmos where mind has flowered. Man is a product of nearly three billion years of evolution, in whose person the evolutionary process has at last become conscious of itself and its possibilities. Whether he likes it or not, he is responsible for the whole further evolution of our planet.

• We are beginning to realize that even the most fortunate people are living far below capacity, and that most human beings develop not more than a small fraction of their potential mental and spiritual efficiency. The human race, in fact, is surrounded by a large area of unrealized possibilities, a challenge to the spirit of exploration.

• Many people assert that this abandonment of the god hypothesis means the abandonment of all religion and all moral sanctions. This is simply not true. But it does mean, once our relief at jettisoning an outdated piece of ideological furniture is over, that we must construct something to take its place.

• ...any belief in supernatural creators, rulers, or influencers of natural or human process introduces an irreparable split into the universe, and prevents us from grasping its real unity. Any belief in Absolutes, whether the absolute validity of moral commandments, of authority of revelation, of inner certitudes, or of divine inspiration, erects a formidable barrier against progress and the responsibility of improvement, moral, rational, and religious.

• Especular sin hechos es intentar entrar en una casa de la que no se tiene la llave, dando vueltas sin rumbo, escudriñando las paredes y asomándose de vez en cuando por las ventanas. Los hechos son la llave.

• Today the god hypothesis has ceased to be scientifically tenable, has lost its explanatory value and is becoming an intellectual and moral burden to our thought. It no longer convinces or comforts, and its abandonment often brings a deep sense of relief.

• By death the moon was gathered in Long ago, ah long ago;
  Yet still the silver corpse must spin
  And with another's light must glow.
  Her frozen mountains must forget
  Their primal hot volcanic breath,
  Doomed to revolve for ages yet,
  Void amphitheatres of death.
  And all about the cosmic sky,
  The black that lies beyond our blue,
  Dead stars innumerable lie,
  And stars of red and angry hue
  Not dead but doomed to die.

  Julian Huxley

• God is one among several hypotheses to account for the phenomena of human destiny, and it is now proving to be an inadequate hypothesis. To a great many people, including myself, this realization is a great relief, both intellectually and morally. It frees us to explore the real phenomena for which the God hypothesis seeks to account, to define them more accurately, and to work for a more satisfying set of concepts.

• There are thus two tasks for the Mass Media division of Unesco, the one general, the other special. The special one is to enlist the press and the radio and the cinema to the fullest extent in the service of formal and adult education, of science and learning, of art and culture. The general one is to see that these agencies are used both to contribute to mutual comprehension between different nations and cultures, and also to promote the growth of a common outlook shared by all nations and cultures.

• The scientific doctrine of progress is destined to replace not only the myth of progress, but all other myths of human earthly destiny. It will inevitably become one of the cornerstones of man's theology, or whatever may be the future substitute for theology, and the most important external support for human ethics.
