Can anyone tell me where the Darwin quote about collaboration and innovation is from? This video seems to indicate that it's from Origin of Species, but I can't find it in there nor in his collected letters. Is this just a quote that everyone thinks is accurate but was made up and perpetrated to serve our own purposes?

I never intended to infer that the quote was from Origin. The quote is attributed to Darwin via several hundred sources, so I used it. However, according to this source, it seems Darwin never wrote it:

Seems the quote is actually Prof. Megginson’s paraphrase of Darwin:

"I learned a lot of good things from Leon Megginson’s classes. One of the most valuable things I heard him say went something like this: Charles Darwin didn’t say that only the strong survive. What he said was that those who survive are the ones who most accurately perceive their environment and successfully adapt to it."

You know I found myself writing a few weeks ago:

"Seth Godin, in a blog post 9 Jan. 2010, 'The future of the library', suggests libraries should 'train people to take intellectual initiative'. If society is moving from a past age in which information moved fairly slowly and taking the intellectual initiative not easily done, to one where technology developments have happily bestowed on our civilisation a glut of information, then asking to redesign society following technological change is not so far fetched."

The redesign of society I'm thinking of is one in which libraries "push everyone from kids to seniors to get very aggressive in finding and using information and in connecting with and leading others" - a new emphasis and priority for libraries. Seth's post is at http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2010/01/the-future-of-the-library.html There was a lot of discussion following this but I unfortunately did not follow it.
