Law, Political Theory and Psychological Science
Andrew Crichton
Those who see their lives as spoiled and wasted crave equality and fraternity more than they do freedom. If they clamour for freedom, it is but freedom to establish equality and uniformity. The passion for equality is partly a passion for anonymity. We are afraid of the known and afraid of the unknown. That is our daily life and in that there is no hope, and therefore every form of philosophy, every form of theological concept, is merely an escape from the actual reality of what is. All outward forms of change brought about by wars, revolutions, reformations, laws and ideologies have failed completely to change the basic nature of man and therefore of society. And yet, I know my fate. One day my name will be associated with the memory of something tremendous — a crisis without equal on earth, the most profound collision of conscience, a decision that was conjured up against everything that had been believed, demanded, hallowed so far. I am no man, I am dynamite.

Schopenhauer and Racism
Jun 23rd
I just came across Schopenhauer’s justification for racism.
The highest civilization and culture, apart from the ancient Hindus and Egyptians, are found exclusively among the white races; and even with many dark peoples, the ruling caste or race is fairer in colour than the rest and has, therefore, evidently immigrated, for example, the Brahmins, the Incas, and the rulers of the South Sea Islands. All this is due to the fact that necessity is the mother of invention because those tribes that emigrated early to the north, and there gradually became white, had to develop all their intellectual powers and invent More >
Why do cords and ropes get tangled?
Jun 21st
Entanglement often occurs when multiple objects are posited in bags. The corollary of this phenomenon is dependent upon the shape of the rope, wire or cable. All round-bodied linear objects lack aerodynamics or friction control, once they start moving perpendicular to body-length, or in a circular motion there is no counter-physics to keep the elongated round body in a stable position. As the object is unattached at both ends, the movement occurs in a perpendicular and circular tendency with a spiraling affect. Hence, from this action-reaction the object reverberates the motion throughout its inner sphere; the movement is perpendicular and More >
Robofetishism and Technosexuality
Jun 20th
Technosexuality is fast becoming de rigour amongst the MTV generation, with their vibrating mobile WAP phones “going off” in their pockets, computer peripherals and multi-function entertainment systems. Found in all walks of life they can often be found hanging around electrical stores, exchanging glances over 32″ LCD TV screens with integrated DVD players.
Technosexuality may be expressed in a number of divergent ways, from dressing up as popular characters from Sci Fi stories, to rubbing themselves against toasters and vending machines. Several cases have been reported of people gaining sexual pleasure from slamming their genitals in fridge doors, though this More >
Germaine Greer Quotes
Jun 19th
The most powerful entities on earth are not governments but the multi-national corporations that see women as their territory, indoctrinating them with their versions of beauty, health and hygiene, medicating them and cultivating their dependency in order to medicate them some more.
Women have somehow been separated from their libido, from their faculty of desire, from their sexuality. They’ve become suspicious about it. Like beasts, for example, who are castrated in farming in order to serve their master’s ulterior motives — to be fattened or made docile — women have been cut off from their capacity for action. It’s a process More >
Louis-Ferdinand Céline Quotes
Jun 14th
If you aren’t rich you should always look useful.
One might as well realize that in everyday life at least a hundred people thirst for you miserable life in the course of a single day.
We are, by nature, so futile that distraction alone can prevent us from dying altogether.
I have never voted in my life… I have always known and understood that the idiots are in a majority so it’s certain they will win.
People always seem to be struggling in a general suicide.
The rich are inebriate in another way and cannot contrive to grasp these frenzied longings for security. To be More >
The Choice Between Capitalism and Socialism
Jun 7th
A man who chooses between drinking a glass of milk and a glass of a solution of potassium cyanide does not choose between two beverages; he chooses between life and death. A society that chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between two social systems; it chooses between social cooperation and the disintegration of society. Socialism is not an alternative to capitalism; it is an alternative to any system under which men can live as human beings.
Sickness Quotes
Jun 5th
Childhood is a disease – a sickness that you grow out of. - William Golding
I’m tired of hearing sin called sickness and alcoholism a disease. It is the only disease I know of that we’re spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year to spread. - Vance Havner
Hope is necessary in every condition. The miseries of poverty, sickness and captivity would, without this comfort, be insupportable. - William Samuel Johnson
A lot of people don’t realize that depression is an illness. I don’t wish it on anyone, but if they would know how it feels, I swear they would think twice More >
The Roman Catholic Church Comparison to Atheism
Jun 5th
Roman Catholicism is even worse than Atheism itself, in my opinion! Yes, that’s my opinion! Atheism only preaches a negation, but Catholicism goes further: it preaches a distorted Christ, a Christ calumniated and defamed by themselves, the opposite of Christ! It preaches the Antichrist, I declare it does, I assure you it does! This is the conviction I have long held, and it has distressed me, myself… Roman Catholicism cannot hold its position without universal political supremacy, and cries: ‘Non possumus!’ To my thinking Roman Catholicism is not even a religion, but simply the continuation of the Western Roman Empire, More >
The Real History of Capitalism
Jun 5th
Take a look at the history of “trucking and bartering” itself; look at the history of modern capitalism, about which we know a lot. The first thing you’ll notice is, peasants had to be driven by force and violence into a wage-labor system they did not want; then major efforts were undertaken – conscious efforts – to create wants. In fact, if you look back, there’s a whole interesting literature of conscious discussion of the need to manufacture wants in the general population. It’s happened over the whole long stretch of capitalism of course, but one place where you can More >
Private Institutions and Poverty
Jun 5th
So long as power remains privately concentrated, everybody, everybody, has to be committed to one overriding goal: and that’s to make sure that the rich folk are happy — because unless they are, nobody else is going to get anything. So if you’re a homeless person sleeping in the streets of Manhattan, let’s say, your first concern must be that the guys in the mansions are happy — because if they’re happy, then they’ll invest, and the economy will work, and things will function, and then maybe something will trickle down to you somewhere along the line. But if they’re More >
Why do I feel oppressed?
Jun 5th
Modern industrial civilization has developed within a certain system of convenient myths. The driving force of modern industrial civilization has been individual material gain, which is accepted as legitimate, even praiseworthy, on the grounds that private vices yield public benefits, in the classic formulation. Now, it has long been understood, very well, that a society that is based on this principle will destroy itself in time. It can only persist, with whatever suffering and injustice that it entails, as long as it is possible to pretend that the destructive forces that humans create are limited, that the world is an More >
Aboriginal Australian proverbs

May as well be here we are as where we are.
Those who lose dreaming are lost.
The more you know, the less you need.
Keep your eyes on the sun and you will not see the shadows.
We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love… and then we return home.
Sigmund Freud Quotes
Jun 3rd
A man like me cannot live without a hobby-horse, a consuming passion — in Schiller’s words a tyrant. I have found my tyrant, and in his service I know no limits. My tyrant is psychology. it has always been my distant, beckoning goal and now since I have hit upon the neuroses, it has come so much the nearer.
One might compare the relation of the ego to the id with that between a rider and his horse. The horse provides the locomotor energy, and the rider has the prerogative of determining the goal and of guiding the movements of More >
Rollo May Quotes
Jun 3rd
Anxiety is an even better teacher than reality, for one can temporarily evade reality by avoiding the distasteful situation; but anxiety is a source of education always present because one carries it within.
We define religion as the assumption that life has meaning. Religion, or lack of it, is shown not in some intellectual or verbal formulations but in one’s total orientation to life. Religion is whatever the individual takes to be his ultimate concern. One’s religious attitude is to be found at that point where he has a conviction that there are values in human existence worth living and dying More >

Johann Paul Friedrich Richter Quotes
May 26th
No one is so much alone in the universe as a denier of God. With an orphaned heart, which has lost the greatest of fathers, he stands mourning by the immeasurable corpse of nature, no longer moved and sustained by the Spirit of the universe.
The wish falls often warm upon my heart that I may learn nothing here that I cannot continue in the other world; that I may do nothing here but deeds that will bear fruit in heaven.
The virtues, like the body, become strong more by labor than by nourishment.

Washington Irving Quotes
May 26th
Whenever a man’s friends begin to compliment him about looking young, he may be sure that they think he is growing old.
There is an eloquence in true enthusiasm that is not to be doubted.
The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to be divorced. Every other wound we seek to heal — every other affliction to forget: but this wound we consider it a duty to keep open — this affliction we cherish and brood over in solitude.

Ludwig von Mises Quotes
May 26th
The goal of liberalism is the peaceful cooperation of all men. It aims at peace among nations too. When there is private ownership of the means of production everywhere and when laws, the tribunals and the administration treat foreigners and citizens on equal terms, it is of little importance where a country’s frontiers are drawn. … War no longer pays; there is no motive for aggression. … All nations can coexist peacefully…

Definitions of Capitalism
May 26th
Marxists
Immanuel Wallerstein
Production for sale in a market in which the object is to realize the maximum profit is the essential feature of a capitalist world-economy. “In such a system production is constantly expanded as long as further production is profitable, and men constantly innovate new ways of producing things that will expand the profit margin”
David Harvey
Capitalism in terms of three features: it is growth-oriented (“a steady state of growth is essential for the health of a capitalist economic system”); “growth in real values rests on the exploitation of living labor in production;” and it is “necessarily technologically and organizationally More >

It is urgent and important to legalise universal blood transfusion by immune adoption.
It is better to crush a gland instead of an oak.
Hypocrisy Quotes
May 26th
Hypocrisy is the necessary burden of villainy; affectation, part of the chosen trappings of folly! the one completes a villain, the other only finishes a fop. Contempt is the proper punishment of affectation, and detestation the just consequence of hypocrisy.
Do as I say, not as I do.
Men turn their faces to hell, and hope to get to heaven; why don’t they walk into the horsepond, and hope to be dry?
We are all hypocrites. It is in our very nature to be so. So much so that even our protestation of hypocrisy is, in itself, patently hypocritical.
Hypocrisy is a sort of More >
Hate Quotes

It is better to be hated for who you are, than to be loved for someone you are not. – Anonymous
Oh, you hate your job? Why didn’t you say so? There’s a support group for that. It’s called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar. – Drew Carey
You cannot hate other people without hating your self. – Oprah
Those who hate most fervently must have once loved deeply; those who want to deny the world must have once embraced what they now set on fire. – Kurt Tucholsky

Marquise de Lambert Quotes
May 18th
The pleasures of the world are deceitful; they promise more than they give! They trouble us in seeking them, they do not satisfy us when possessing them and they make us despair in losing them..
With great employments and vulgar maxims, one is always restless and uneasy: it is not places, but reason, that removes anxiety from the mind.
One of the duties of old-age, is the management of time. The less that remains to us, the more valuable we ought to consider it.

C. Wright Mills Quotes
May 16th
To have peace and not war, the drift toward a war economy, as facilitated by the moves and the demands of the sophisticated conservatives, must be stopped; to have peace without slump, the tactics and policies of the practical right must be overcome. The political and economic power of both must be broken. The power of these giants of main drift is both economically and politically anchored; both unions and an independent labor party are needed to struggle effective.
The more we understand what is happening in the world, the more frustrated we often become, for our knowledge leads to feelings More >
Stanislav Andreski Quotes
May 16th
So long as authority inspires awe, confusion and absurdity enhance conservative tendencies in society. Firstly, because clear and logical thinking leads to a cumulation of knowledge (of which the progress of the natural sciences provides the best example) and the advance of knowledge sooner or later undermines the traditional order. Confused thinking, on the other hand, leads nowhere in particular and can be indulged indefinitely without producing any impact upon the world.

Edward Bernays Quotes
May 16th
The three main elements of public relations are practically as old as society: informing people, persuading people, or integrating people with people. Of course, the means and methods of accomplishing these ends have changed as society has changed.
The best defense against propaganda: more propaganda.
It is sometimes possible to change the attitudes of millions but impossible to change the attitude of one man.

May 13th
I find nothing so painful as having to lead men.
It’s not observation but theory that led me to this result that experience has confirmed afterwards.
Nature is not embarrassed by difficulties of analysis. She avoids complication only in means. Nature seems to be proposed to do much with little: it is a principle that the development of physics constantly supports by new evidence.
If one was sometimes led astray by trying to simplify the elements of a science, it is because one has established systems before putting together a fairly large number of facts. Some assumption, which would be very simple when More >
Denis Diderot Quotes

From fanaticism to barbarism is only one step.
We are all instruments endowed with feeling and memory. Our senses are so many strings that are struck by surrounding objects and that also frequently strike themselves.
Disturbances in society are never more fearful than when those who are stirring up the trouble can use the pretext of religion to mask their true designs.
Patriotism is an ephemeral motive that scarcely ever outlasts the particular threat to society that aroused it.
There is no moral precept that does not have something inconvenient about it.

Jacques Ellul Quotes
May 12th
Faith lived in the incognito is one which is located outside the criticism coming from society, from politics, from history, for the very reason that it has itself the vocation to be a source of criticism. It is faith (lived in the incognito) which triggers the issues for the others, which causes everything seemingly established to be placed in doubt, which drives a wedge into the world of false assurances.
I describe a world with no exit, convinced that God accompanies man throughout his history.

Ferdinand Foch Quotes
May 12th
Airplanes are interesting toys, but of no military value.
The military art is not an accomplishment, an art for dilettante, a sport. You do not make war without reason, without an object, as you would give yourself up to music, painting, hunting, lawn tennis, where there is no great harm done whether you stop altogether or go on, whether you do little or much. Everything in war is linked together, is mutually interdependent, mutually interpenetrating. When you are at war you have no power to act at random. Each operation has a raison d’etre, that is an object; that object, once More >
Gustave Flaubert Quotes
May 12th
One must not always think that feeling is everything. Art is nothing without form.
To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.
One becomes a critic when one cannot be an artist, just as a man becomes a stool pigeon when he cannot be a soldier.

Suicide Quotes
May 12th
I myself spent nine years in an insane asylum and I never had the obsession of suicide, but I know that each conversation with a psychiatrist, every morning at the time of his visit, made me want to hang myself, realizing that I would not be able to cut his throat. - Antonin Artaud

Émile Durkheim Quotes
May 12th
In the name of the dogma of struggle for existence and natural selection, they paint for us in the saddest colors this primitive humanity whose hunger and thirst, always badly satisfied, were their only passions; those sombre times when men had no other care and no other occupation than to quarrel with one another over their miserable nourishment. To react against those retrospective reveries of the philosophy of the eighteenth century and also against certain religious doctrines, to show with some force that the paradise lost is not behind us and that there is in our past nothing to regret, More >

Nothing succeeds like success.
And now, farewell to kindness, humanity and gratitude… I have substituted myself for Providence in rewarding the good; may the God of vengeance now yield me His place to punish the wicked.

Sleeping on a plank has one advantage – it encourages early rising.
All for one, one for all, that is our motto.

Houston Stewart Chamberlain Quotes
May 12th
We find that actual, concrete knowledge, that is, the great work of toilsome discovery, has one deadly enemy, omniscience. The Jews are a case in point; if a man possesses a sacred book, which contains all wisdom, then all further investigation is as superfluous as it is sinful: the Christian Church took over the Jewish tradition. This fastening on to Judaism, which was so fatal for our history, is being accomplished before our very eyes; it can be demonstrated step by step. The old Church Fathers, taking their stand expressly upon the Jewish Torah, are unanimous in preaching contempt of More >
William Butler Yeats Quotes

The only business of the head in the world is to bow a ceaseless obeisance to the heart.
This melancholy London. I sometimes imagine that the souls of the lost are compelled to walk through its streets perpetually. One feels them passing like a whiff of air.
In dreams begin responsibilities.
I made my song a coat Covered with embroideries Out of old mythologies From heel to throat; But the fools caught it, Wore it in the world’s eyes As though they’d wrought it. Song, let them take it, For there’s more enterprise In walking naked.

Laozi Quotes
May 12th
The Tao that can be expressed is not the eternal Tao; The name that can be defined is not the unchanging name. Non-existence is called the antecedent of heaven and earth; Existence is the mother of all things. From eternal non-existence, therefore, we serenely observe the mysterious beginning of the Universe; From eternal existence we clearly see the apparent distinctions. These two are the same in source and become different when manifested. This sameness is called profundity. Infinite profundity is the gate whence comes the beginning of all parts of the Universe.

Submission to the experimental data is the golden rule that dominates any scientific discipline.
Anyone who dares to speak about an aether is regarded as an ignorant and backward mind and he can only lose his credibility in scientific circles, although in reality those who criticize him use the same concept of intermediate medium in other words, whether it be fields, an associated fluid, a probability fluid, a pilot fluid, a quantum fluid, etc.

Ernest Gellner Quotes
May 10th
Looking at the contemporary world, two things are obvious: democracy is doing rather badly, and democracy is doing very well. New states are born free, yet everywhere they are in chains. Democracy is doing very badly in that democratic institutions have fallen by the wayside in very many of the newly independent ‘transitional’ societies, and they are precarious elsewhere. Democracy, on the other hand, is doing extremely well in so far as it is almost, though not quite, universally accepted as a valid norm.

Hugo Grotius Quotes

Liberty is the power that we have over ourselves.
Not to know certain things is a great part of wisdom.
A man cannot govern a nation if he cannot govern a city; he cannot govern a city if he cannot govern a family; he cannot govern a family unless he can govern himself; and he cannot govern himself unless his passions are subject to reason.
Even God cannot make two times two not make four.
Pierre Hadot Quotes
May 10th
À mes yeux, c’est seulement l’ascèse de la rigueur scientifique, ce détachement de soi qu’exige un jugement objectif et impartial, qui pourra nous donner le droit de nous impliquer nous-mêmes dans l’histoire, de lui donner un sens existentiel.
- To my eyes, only the ascesis of scientific rigor, this detachment from oneself which requires an objective and impartial judgment, can give us the right to implicate ourselves in history, to give it an existential sense.

Ian Hacking Quotes
May 10th
There are two well-known minor ways in which language has mattered to philosophy. On the one hand there is a belief that if only we produce good defintions, often marking out different senses of words that are confused in commom speech, we will avoid the conceptual traps that ensnared our forefathers. On the other hand is a belief that if only we attend sufficiently closely to our mother tongue and make explicit the distinctions there implicit, we shall avoid the conceptual traps. One or the other of these curiously contrary beliefs may nowadays be most often thought of as an More >

They that examine into the Nature of Man, abstract from Art and Education, may observe, that what renders him a Sociable Animal, consists not in his desire of Company, Good-nature, Pity, Affability, and other Graces of a fair Outside; but that his vilest and most hateful Qualities are the most necessary Accomplishments to fit him for the largest, and, according to the World, the happiest and most flourishing Societies.

Hast thou a charm to stay the morning-star, In his steep course? So long he seems to pause, On thy bald awful head, О sovran Blanc!
The last speech, the motive-hunting of a motiveless malignity — how awful!
The Good consists in the congruity of a thing with the laws of the reason and the nature of the will, and in its fitness to determine the latter to actualize the former: and it is always discursive. The Beautiful arises from the perceived harmony of an object, whether sight or sound, with the inborn and constitutive rules of the judgment and imagination: and More >

May 8th
Virtue debases itself in justifying itself.
Let the punishments of criminals be useful. A hanged man is good for nothing; a man condemned to public works still serves the country, and is a living lesson.
Virtue supposes liberty, as the carrying of a burden supposes active force. Under coercion there is no virtue, and without virtue there is no religion. Make a slave of me, and I shall be no better for it. Even the sovereign has no right to use coercion to lead men to religion, which by its nature supposes choice and liberty. My thought is no more subject to More >

The great materialistic progress which we have venerated for so long is on the verge of bankruptcy. We can no longer believe that we are born into this world to accumulate wealth and abandon ourselves to mortal pleasures. We see the dangers and realize that we have been exploited for centuries. We were told the twentieth century was the most progressive that the world has ever known, but unfortunately the progression was in the direction of self-destruction.

I suppose that writers should, in a way, feel flattered by the censorship laws. They show a primitive fear and dread at the fearful magic of print.

Today, thousands of farm workers live under savage conditions — beneath trees and amid garbage and human excrement — near tomato fields in San Diego County, tomato fields which use the most modern farm technology.
