reality
You cannot connect with anyone except through reality.
real war cells
We are not taught to fear our politicians, who can debase our currency, throw us in prison and send us to war - but rather we are taught to fear each other. We are taught to imagine that the real predators in this world are not those who control prison cells, national debts and nuclear weapons, but rather our fellow citizens, who in the absence of brutal control would surely tear us apart!
broke few marriages
I'm sure a few marriages broke up because of feminism; it doesn't make feminism a cult.
clock exactly roll
Even if we did achieve what we wanted with a very small state, we'd just be resetting the clock back to 1776, and it would roll forward exactly the same way again.
clearly effects good inevitably produce since whether
Since we own our bodies, we also inevitably own the effects of our actions, be they good or bad. If we own the effects of our actions, then clearly we own that which we produce, whether what we produce is a bow, or a book - or a murder.
believe deep doctors good parents
Deep down, I do not believe that there are any really good parents out there - the same way that I do not believe there were any really good doctors in the 10th century.
loyalty country past
The best way to look at countries on a map is like a chalk outline drawn by the police when someone dies what you are seeing with the borders are just outlines of historical crimes past warlords empires its nothing to be loyal to. Have loyalty to reason, to evidence, to ideals not to lines drawn up mostly by criminals.
abuse victim restitution
Forgiveness is created by the restitution of the abuser; of the wrongdoer. It is not something to be squeeeeeezed out of the victim in a further act of conscience-corrupting abuse.
crazy destiny water
If you spend time with crazy and dangerous people, remember – their personalities are socially transmitted diseases; like water poured into a container, most of us eventually turn into – or remain – whoever we surround ourselves with. We can choose our tribe, but we cannot change that our tribe is our destiny.
principles
There's great peace in surrendering to principles
pulse intimacy proximity
Pulse proximity is not intimacy.
medicine sick poison
We are supposed to call poison medicine and we wonder why we're always sick.
insecurity problem solutions
There is no external solution to the problem of insecurity.
pyramids privilege imaginary
To connect is to dissolve the imaginary pyramids of artificial privilege.
