“Libb you are my amanuensis.”Quotes | Day 1— Mirza Beg (2019), “Beg interview 1.0” (meet-and-greet day); Sep 15
“You see, de Lange believes what he wants to believe, namely that Gibbs energy as governor of social reactions is the 'spiritual component' of the energy of the father of Jesus, I believe what I believe, namely that Gibbs energy applied socially is the 'will of Allah', and you [Thims] believe whatever you want to believe, namely that you do not believe in god and that Gibbs energy applied socially is just a 'natural physico-chemical energy', yet all three of us have, in common, a belief in thermodynamics.”— Mirza Beg (2019), “Beg interview” (meet and greet day); comment arisen following Thims explanation of the "beliefs" of Social Newtons existive (possibly a reflection of Beg, following a reading of "religion as a function of birthplace" article, Thims had sent Beg a few days earlier, in respect to the stance Thims would adhere to in respect to religions dialogue digressions), Sep 15
“This book was not accepted. Nobody accepted the book. One fellow, who is in Washington, at the Islamic Institute, he said, in his review, that sociology has been treated by zoologists, in terms of insects, animals, and animal behavior. Now here is a scientist. He says that he can interpret human behavior in terms of molecules? Thank you Dr. Beg, for introducing molecules into sociology. Thank you [joking]! I hope success to you. Nobody encouraged me, until you [Thims] did.”— Mirza Beg (2019), “Interview Day 1.1” (53:40-54:59); comment made when looking at 1987 book launching photo; response likely a reference to E.O. Wilson’s 1975 Sociobiology: the New Synthesis (compare: Marcin Borkowski 2010 comment), Sep 16
“I irritated the social scientists, just like Stewart did at Princeton in the 1950s. They don’t like me. But after that book [New Dimensions, 1987], and then after writing about social pollution, they started recognizing that there IS room for a ‘scientist’ in the ‘social sciences’ department.”— Mirza Beg (2019), “Interview Day 1.3” (5:22-6:00), Sep 16
“A terrorist is an ‘impurity’ in the social lattice that lowers the melting point of society.”— Mirza Beg (2019), Interview Day 1.3 (31:11-)
