"A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labor of other men, living and dead. And that I must exert myself in order to give in the measure as I have received, and am still receiving." Albert Einstein
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." John Rogers
"Here's a health to the ship's designer and the welders of her seams
And all who man the radar scan to watch our dawning dreams.
To all the unknown heroes, sing out to every shore!
What makes one step a giant leap is all the steps before!"
Leslie Fish, "A Toast to Unknown Heroes"
"Before we as individuals are even conscious of our existence we have been profoundly influenced for a considerable time (since before birth) by our relationship to other individuals who have complicated histories, and are members of a society which has an infinitely more complicated and longer history than they do (and are members of it at a particular time and place in that history); and by the time we are able to make conscious choices we are already making use of categories in a language which has reached a particular degree of development through the lives of countless generations of human beings before us. . . . We are social creatures to the inmost centre of our being. The notion that one can begin anything at all from scratch, free from the past, or unindebted to others, could not conceivably be more wrong." -Karl Popper
Ayn Rand- "The philosopher-in-chief to the intellectually bankrupt." Sherlock Holmes, Elementary
Likes: My friends know. If you want to know, just ask. Or, look through my favorites.
Dislikes: Crushing finality, Infinite darkness descending, the death of all hope, heroes refusing to rise to the call, evil winning without needing to fight, victims being held without any attempt to go all-or-nothing for freedom.

Which is worse? (G)
10 months ago
A philosophical question.
If there is a person who is awful, a silent cipher who pays for horrors and then vanishes like someone farting on an elevator, or just a full on cult leader who scams cultists into paying for their insane comms and gives lectures on how to be the the most awful person in the world. Someone like that. Is it worse to be a friend to them and slowly realize what you're friends with and how terrible and trapped you are? Or is the worse fate to be that person, be self-aware, and realize every one of your remaining friends, the ones who didn't rightfully abandon you, are just you in different skins? That you must face the hell of being around you, knowing what it's like to be trapped with you?
Which would be the darker fate? Awful cult leader, or surrounded by awful cult leaders who all know they're all trapped together?
