"You don't control an ecology,
you live within it,
either responsibly or irresponsibly.
The same is true for the ecology of ideas."
D. Gerrold

"An idea or a thought does not exist alone,
it exist as a part of a herd of ideas or a
school of thoughts."
D. Gerrold

"In the ecology of ideas, new ideas are always appearing,
all of the time; we're continually testing them.
Some of the new ideas aren't strong enough to survive and die out.
Others adapt, grow, evolve, survive and strengthen the entire ecology.
The process of ideas rubbing up against each other is just like
the process of people rubbing up against each other;
that's how you make new people and new ideas."
D. Gerrold
