"The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconcious, of being out of one's mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society highly values its norman man. It educates children to loose themselves and to become absurd, and thus be normal. Normal men have killed perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years."
"Drink 8 Glasses of Water a Day (does beer count?)
Depends. One would
have to calculate the water content of beer versus the rate of dehydration
produces by the alcohol content. Follow through, one would concluded that
8 glasses of beer would fall short of 8 glasses of pure water, with the only
recourse being to drink more beer.
This, kids, is a practical demonstration
of how to make science work for you."
"Fundamentally, humanity is screwed up, and we're all looking for someone to guide us out of the mess, with a tendency to listen to the social charismatic, and not the quiet, shy intellectual."
"I think it's bliss to be un-educated. To not know about all the wonders that goes on around you. Progression might be good for humanity, but I don't always think it's so good for the individual."
"DOS was too slow to crash, it usually just stopped with some screetching noises and a thud. For proper crashes you have to have something faster."
"Join the cyberspace spirit world and weave in-between the packets of life"
"When I grow up I want to be the internet."
"...the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, through striving after rational knowledge."
"Prejudice, not being founded on reason, cannot be removed by argument."
"I merely stated that any particular point of view depends on perspective."
"If I can operate Google, I can find anything... Google, combined with Wi-Fi, is a little bit like God. God is wireless, God is everywhere, and God sees and knows everything. Throughout history, people connected to God without wired. Now, for many questions in the world, you ask Google, and, increasingly, you can do it without wires."
"If you tried and failed, destroy all the evidence that you have tried."
"Morality is a personal issue, while justice (the judicial system) lends essential structure to societal norms. One doesn't need to live a life regarded by many as moral to fall within the judicial framework, which is the only real infringement on personal enrichment - and rightly so."
"Existence is a strange bargain. Life owes us little; we owe it everything. The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose."
"In the pursuit of learning, one knows more every day;
In the pursuit of the way one does less every day.
One does less and less until one does nothing at all, and when one does nothing
at all there is nothing that is undone."
"An intellectual is someone who has found something more interesting than sex."
