“It is harder to convince people they have been fooled than it is to fool them in the first place.”

(Racist) Germans like to make fun of Hindu people considering cows holy. They hoot and holler.

And then they fellate cars....

Paris proves that a consequent policy of driving back traffic and considering a city the habitat of PEOPLE works. They adapt and everybody loves the improvements it brings.

In Berlin, we vote in the party that promises to reopen a 400m stretch of road to cars, as well as extending an inner-city highway for BILLIONS just so you can be stuck in traffic five minutes earlier.

“Our life is a constant journey, from birth to death. The landscape changes, the people change, our needs change, but the train keeps moving. Life is the train, not the station.”

Horseshoe crabs have been around longer than most groups of organisms that surround us now. Species quite similar to modern forms were already present in the Ordovician, 445 million years ago. By the time the first dinosaurs started terrorizing the land about 245 million years ago, horseshoe crabs were already relics of a long-gone era. Dinosaurs came and went, the Earth changed its polarity and climate many times over, but horseshoe crabs slowly plowed forward. Yet during this time they changed surprisingly little.
Somehow horseshoe crabs had stumbled upon a lifestyle and morphology so successful that they were able to weather changes to our planet that wiped out thousands of seemingly more imposing lineages. Now it is our job to make sure that they can survive the biological cataclysm that the arrival of our destructive species has turned out to be.’ -

“Let us prepare our minds as if we’d come to the very end of life. Let us postpone nothing. Let us balance life’s books each day. … The one who puts the finishing touches on their life each day is never short of time.”

It's not books you need, it's some of the things that were once in books. The same things could be in the 'parlour families' today. The same infinite detail and awareness could be projected through the radios and televisors, but are not. No, no, it's not books at all you're looking for! Take it where you can find it, in old phonograph records, old motion pictures, and in old friends; look for it in nature and look for it in yourself. Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them, at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.

—Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451, p 57 (1953)

"If the human race is still here in 100 years, it will be because of lots of people doing lots of little things. Bigger things can get co-opted or bought off by the powers that be. But if there are many, many little things going on it will be too hard for them to keep up with all of them. I consider myself to be a sower of seeds. Some seeds fall on stones and don't even sprout, but some seeds fall on fallow ground and multiply a hundredfold."

~ Pete Seeger

The secret of the demagogue is to make himself appear as stupid as his followers, so that they imagine themselves to be as clever as he is.

“Thus human beings are now carrying out a large scale geophysical experiment of a kind that could not have happened in the past nor be reproduced in the future. Within a few centuries we are returning to the atmosphere and oceans the concentrated organic carbon stored in sedimentary rocks over hundreds of millions of years.”

“One of the biggest troubles hitchhiking is having to talk to innumerable people, make them feel they didn’t make a mistake picking you up."
