At one point in this talk, Terence says that “time is slippery” and “that's why I'm very sort of tongue-in-cheek about all these apocalyptic prophesies and when we get there and what will it be like.” He also is cornered by a questioner who presses him for a prediction about what will happen after the then-anticipated 2012 event. Another interesting observation he makes is that he thinks that Nature is “well pleased” with her human experiment. And on yet another tack, he says, “Ideologies are cultural memes. They are the most confining of the cultural memes. That's where culture gets real ugly. It is when you rub up against its ideologies.”
