No idea. The longer I live, the more I grow apart from everyone.
Quotes:
"Sartre has called man a "useless passion" because he is so hopelessly bungled, so deluded about his true condition. He wants to be a god with only the equipment of an animal, and so he thrives on fantasies." -Ernest Becker
“We are members of the most destructive culture ever to exist. Our assault on the natural world, on indigenous and other cultures, on women, on children, on all of us through the possibility of nuclear suicide and other means - all these are unprecedented in their magnitude and ferocity.â€
-Derrick Jensen
"Violence is dreadfully, dreadfully effective. That's why they use it." -Derrick Jensen
"At some level, we know that everything is far from okay, that in fact we are alienated, disconnected, cut off from Nature, from other people, and from ourselves. Deep inside, we know that we are poisoning our environment, poisoning our bodies, poisoning our spirit. Such pervasive disconnection leaves us with an inarticulate emptiness of the soul. Rather than face that emptiness, we participate in the lie. If we are to be really truthful, we have to face our emptiness. But we get really angry at people who ask us to do so." -Sharif Abdullah
"Don't fight forces, use them." -R. Buckminster Fuller
"Time you enjoyed wasting, was not wasted at all." -John Lennon
"The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose."
-William Shakespeare
"Poke any saint deeply enough, and you touch self-interest." -Irving Wallace
“The people of your culture cling with fanatical tenacity to the specialness of man. They want desperately to perceive a vast gulf between man and the rest of creation. This mythology of human superiority justifies their doing whatever they please with the world, just the way Hitler’s mythology of Aryan superiority justified his doing whatever he pleased with Europe. But in the end this mythology is not deeply satisfying. The Takers are a profoundly lonely people. The world for them is enemy territory, and they live in it like an army of occupation, alienated and isolated by their extraordinary specialness.†-Daniel Quinn
"Theologians of the school of Teilhard de Chardin--Matthew Fox, Thomas Berry, and so on--conceive that the universe turned a great corner when man was born. In us, as they see it, the universe became conscious. This is rather like thinking that, when Edmund Hillary stood on top of it, Mount Everest became tall." -Daniel Quinn
"Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines." -R. Buckminster Fuller
"It is essential to release humanity from the false fixations of yesterday, which seem now to bind it to a rationale of action leading only to extinction."-R. Buckminster Fuller
"It's unfortunate. I'm not against big companies, except I think they ought to forget the damn dollars... And I don't mean that to the extent that they shouldn't do right by their shareholders, and themselves, even. But music is too fine a thing, and too absolutely, emotionally helpful to so many different people. The greatest diplomat in the world is that thing you call music. That's the name: Ambassador Music. It's going to be tougher. But it may be around the corner, and I'm too old to do it, but online and stuff, that thing may be worked out to where some of these people that are doing some of these amazing things, it may come back where people with nothing can do something. I sure hope so. I really do. I really hope so." -Sam Phillips
