Craig Venter

#22. Genes are selfish,3 selfish genes create people with various mental modules, and some of these mental modules make us strategically altruistic, not reliably or universally altruistic.

Jonathan Haidt

#23. The programmer's primary weapon in the never-ending battle against slow system is to change the intramodular structure. Our first response should be to reorganize the modules' data structures.

Fred Brooks

#24. The psychologist Mark Schaller has shown that disgust is part of what he calls the "behavioral immune system" - a set of cognitive modules that are triggered by signs of infection or disease in other people and that make you want to get away from those people.40

Jonathan Haidt

#25. Modules of brain networks define communities of structurally and functionally related areas, but they do not represent or support discrete mental faculties.

Olaf Sporns

Scott Kelly

#27. If you use one of the multi-core Node.js modules, such as cluster, you should create a separate Couchbase connection object for each thread.

David Ostrovsky

#28. Some scholars argue that although the brain might contain neural subsystems, or modules, specialized for tasks like recognizing faces and understanding language, it also contains a part that constitutes a person, a self: the chief executive of all the subsystems.

Paul Bloom

#29. LIFE is a big word, isn't it? Let's break it down into small segments. Let's find a level of granularity we can plan around; we could say we'll take it a month at a time, or a week at a time, and treat each of those modules almost as training units.

Chris Cleave
