for consideration

We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces. -- Carl Sagan

Carl Jung, who pioneered our understanding of the subconscious, wrote that when humans are unaware of their "inner contradictions, the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposite halves." We externalize the side of us that we do not want to own. We look for scapegoats. Instead of getting upset about the possibility that humanity's present course could end civilization as we know it, we get angry with those who name the problems.—Julene Bair

"The basis for optimism is sheer terror." – Oscar Wilde

Much madness is divinest sense
To a discerning eye;
Much sense the starkest madness. . .

Assent, and you are sane;
Demur, you're straightway dangerous,
And handled with a chain.

- Emily Dickenson


If language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone, morals and art will deteriorate; if justice goes astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion. Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above everything. – Confucius

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be --Thomas Jefferson

"Nonsense wakes up brain cells" ---Dr. Seuss
