Quotes Social history can also be thought of as evolutionary history when you look at all the ways in which human activity generates selective pressures that drive evolution. The mass production of antibiotics, in part due to their use in agriculture, is a good example of social drivers of the evolution of antibiotic resistance. I enjoy articulating questions that have gone unthought or unasked. When you expose a blind spot or really hit on a question that hasn’t been asked before, you can literally feel the shift in people’s way of thinking or their ability to notice things, it’s almost like a lever shifts and opens out a different configuration or space for noticing the world.
