Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled!
We’re already creating the superior beings, I think we lost the battle to the machines long ago, We’re going to become the pets, the dogs of the house.<br /> - Stephen Gary Wozniak

Darwin and Galton Attend Séance.
Along with many other prominent thinkers of the time Darwin and Frances Galton (founder of eugenics) attend a Séance. Many people hold Darwin up as on of the fathers of current day science, yet around 15 years after Darwin publishes origin of the species he would publicly attend with a group of men trying to talk to dead people. One article does state that Darwin said it was ’all imposture’, yet the quote is very brief.

Other attendees: Author George Eliot, philologist F. W. H. Myers (who was so enthused by this experience he founded the Society of Psychical Research a few years later).
