coach giving good hints impact promise starting telling work
Coach Calhoun told me that he can't promise me a starting position, ... but if I come in and work hard, good things will happen. He was just telling me that he's starting freshmen, giving me hints that I could come in and be an impact player.
great
No comment. It was fun. It was a great experience.
cold forward looking love playing
I love cold weather. I like their way of playing basketball. I am looking forward to getting up there and playing.
invented people
Many of the technologies we've invented are necessary to keep 6.5 billion people alive. We can't go back from that, so we need to decarbonize really rapidly.
police want libertarian
That's libertarians for you - anarchists who want police protection from their slaves.
science weapons scientist
Science was many things, Nadia thought, including a weapon with which to hit other scientists.
long psychology trying
Economics was like psychology, a pseudoscience trying to hide that fact with intense theoretical hyperelaboration. And gross domestic product was one of those unfortunate measurement concepts, like inches or the British thermal unit, that ought to have been retired long before.

littles world easier
Easier to destroy the world than to change capitalism even one little bit.
wife veils hadith
The Quran says nothing about the veil, except for an injunction to veil the bosom, which is obvious. As for the face, Muhammad's wife Khadijeh never wore the veil, nor did the other wives of the Prophet after Khadijeh died. [...] The ulema have twisted the Quran with their hadith, always twisting it toward those in power, until the message Muhammad laid out so clearly, straight from God, has been reversed, and good Muslim women are made like slaves again, or worse.
inward cosmos looks
Look at the pattern this seashell makes. The dappled whorl, curving inward to infinity. That's the shape of the universe itself. There's constant pressure, pushing towards pattern. A tendency in matter to evolve into ever more complex forms. It's a kind of pattern gravity, a holy greening power we call 'Viriditas' and it is the driving force in the cosmos. Life, you see.
mistake people important
You could never teach other people anything that mattered. The important things they had to learn for themselves, almost always by making mistakes, so that the lessons arrived too late to help. Experience was in that sense useless. It was precisely what could not be passed along in a lesson.
inability incompetence chiefs
One of the chief features of incompetence was an inability to see it in oneself.
police want libertarian
The minimum that most minimalists want leaves in place just the institutions who protect their interests. That's libertarians for you - anarchists who want police protection from their slaves.
