The History of Philosophy Without any Gaps — Wayfarer

During her life, Goldman was lionized as a free-thinking "rebel woman" by admirers, and denounced by detractors as an advocate of politically motivated murder and violent revolution.[3] Her writing and lectures spanned a wide variety of issues, including prisons, atheism, freedom of speech, militarism, capitalism, marriage, free love, and homosexuality. Although she distanced herself from first-wave feminism and its efforts toward women's suffrage, she developed new ways of incorporating gender politics into anarchism. After decades of obscurity, Goldman gained iconic status by a revival of interest in her life in the 1970s, when feminist and anarchist scholars rekindled popular interest. — INFO SHOP (Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of the truth)

"Anything is better than death.

Well, you know, that's not true. It's not true that anything is better than death. As a wise oncology nurse said to me, there are many people, more than you would dream, and many of our listeners I think probably fall into this category, for whom what you have to go through in order to come out on the other side alive is simply not worth the effort." — Dr. Nuland

Still, one might think that a political party (after a rough start) could actually swell by delivering on its promises to tax the rich. — n0 0ne

But what triggered or allowed these changes in tax law? — n0 0ne

Yes, the US could possibly reduce defense budget to 2-2.5%. My only question is why US military is not tens of years ahead of everyone else already... — Agustino

Why doesn't the poor majority just tax the rich and take it wants legally? Because they identify themselves and their position in their private hierarchies in terms of culture, religion, race, etc., as much as they do via class. — n0 0ne

The brain's architecture surely has something to do with the way our minds are. — TheMadFool

Good is not good, unless
A thousand it possess,
But doth waste with greediness. — Anonymys

Some man unworthy to be possessor
Of old or new love, himself being false or weak,
Thought his pain and shame would be lesser,
If on womankind he might his anger wreak ;
And thence a law did grow,
One might but one man know ;
But are other creatures so? — Anonymys

But we are made worse than those. — Anonymys

GO and catch a falling star,
  Get with child a mandrake root, 
Tell me where all past hours  are,
  Or who cleft the Devil’s foot;
Teach me to hear mermaids singing,
Or to keep off envy’s stinging,
          Or find
          What wind
Serves to advance an honest mind.

If thou be’st born to strange sights, 
  Things invisible go see,
Ride ten thousand days and nights,
  Till age snow white hairs on thee.
Thou at thy return wilt tell me
All strange wonders that befell thee,
          And swear,
          Nowhere
Lives a woman true and fair.

If thou find’st one, let me know,
  Such a pilgrimage were sweet;
[i][b]Yet do not, I would not go
  Though at next door we should meet.
Though she were true when you met her,
And last till you write your letter,
          Yet she
          Will be
False, ere I come, to two or three.[/b][/i]

What is satisfying about a good dream? Why do we like getting lost in a story?
...What Is it about these experiences that makes us want them? — Crane

First of all I do not believe they create structures that are convenient. I believe the power structures are already in place. — Jeroen Roelfs

the question had been reignited in my head. — XanderTheGrey

If supremacism did actually existed, then there should be a very strong brotherhood between the people of the so-called 'supreme group'. However, evidence is say that this is not the case. — PEU

There as many types as drops in the ocean with enumerable gradations. — Rich

if you are implying that the fact he was blind caused him to give a lesser service to the customers you would be wrong. — Jeremiah

Dehumanization — Rich

I think the Nazis killed over 50 million people - with advanced technology. — Rich

Reason is the only thing that humans distinguish themselves with. We're the leading edge of biological technology, — TheMadFool

Our brains are made of neurons and their language is electrical signals. — TheMadFool

But there must be governance of some kind... — John Days
