A Paradox
	Any paradox embodies two logically opposite ideas that, nonetheless, make rational sense. Thus, a logical contradiction that nevertheless reminds us of a hidden truth, or an uncommonly recognized verity.
	What is worth knowing is yet unknown. The word that can be spoken is not the word. Lao Tzu When upon hearing a sound, the moment has passed from which the utterance emerged. There is no simultaneity, despite the appearance of such a coincidence. Einstein We are not the apex of creation, but merely the latest bud and potentially the next extension; not of the limbs on the tree of life, but a flower-bud of the most current branch of the tangled bank. Darwin Our genius is now threatening our existence, because we are destroying our life-support system ( Or the ecosystem services which we are damaging, degrading and diminishing at this moment).

Paul Ehrlich, paraphrased.
