Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Democracy is illogical at the moment, because the masses are not qualified to choose anything. If they are given the choice to elect either a lesser known scientist or a pop-star, who do you think the majority of them would elect? Isn’t it obvious? Now the real question is - is this kind of democracy, where the majority most proudly and happily choose glamour over wisdom, really a progressive system?”

“A religious individual may most gloriously carry out his or her own rituals, as a part of his or her cultural identity, but the moment, that person starts to build a wall of separation between the self and the rest of humanity, coaxed by the textual commands of a scripture, the healthy religiousness turns into dangerous fundamentalism, which is a threat to both the self and the society.”

“Religious unity and religious tolerance are not the same thing. Unity doesn’t come merely through tolerance. You don’t need to tolerate people from other religions. It is time you start loving them. Toleration may make you a decent person, but it is love that makes you a true human being.”

“The problem is, in a world of humans the humans focus on everything else but humanity. If we wipe out humanity from our fancy equations, then we only wipe out ourselves. With such acts of fallacy how can we expect there to be any advancement in the world whatsoever? Even our very notion of advancement is all messed up. Our notion of advancement prioritizes colonizing Mars over feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless. If this is advancement, then the pioneers of such advancement are nothing but cancer on the face of earth. And just like you don't collaborate with Adolf Hitler, you don't collaborate with such pioneers, that is, with toxic billionaires. If you do, then you are no better than those rich and reckless kids of emerald mine owners. So I say again, the fate of this world lies in the hands of the civilians - everyday, ordinary civilians. When the civilians are responsible, the world is well - when the civilians are sapient, the world is swell.”

“Twit & Trash (The Sonnet) There is nothing more cataclysmic than a sea of unarmed citizens out for justice - even the richest oligarchic leeches, armed with billions of robots, tanks and satellites, would crumble like twigs. Born to privilege, most tech giants are tech trash, loaded with more nuts than the Enigma machine. In the salacious pursuit of the silicon dream, these nutters are the antithesis of Tesla and Turing. Tech giants are giants by the will of people, takes less than a month to bankrupt their worth. Any giant who thinks they are above the people, are the puniest form of termites on earth. Clockwork mice and clockwork minds both can run great distances with no sense of why? Children of earth still sleep without food, yet colonizer kids are headed for the sky!”

“Luxury is the enemy of life, for it only produces disparity. Luxury must be banned from human society either by individual initiative, or by government intervention. We must have a clear sight of our necessities, and those who cannot see for whatever poppycock reason, must be made to see by means of law, that is, through wealth tax.”

“La Fiesta Justicia (Soneto) Cuando hay orden, pero no justicia, cuando hay religión, pero no tolerancia, cuando hay inteligencia, pero no benevolencia, cuando hay costumbres, pero no conciencia - cuando las máquinas fingen ser personas, pero la gente se comporta como ganado, cuando los gobiernos albergan a más lunáticos que manicomios - cuando la disparidad se vende como prosperidad, y la cobardía es el estándar de la sociedad, abandonemos la apatía, encendamos la revolución, ¡Somos Ramadán, somos Navidad, somos la Fiesta Justicia!”

“Take the beliefs of any fundamentalist, and replace all mentions of their particular religion with any other religion, and you won't be able to tell the difference. Why? Because fundamentalism changes only label from one religion to another, but the underlying prejudice, biases and bigotry remain the same. Because underneath every fundamentalism, there is the same old primitive, animal mind trying its darndest to defend the integrity of its personal mental universe.”

“El tiempo es básicamente una ilusión creada por la mente para ayudar en nuestro sentido de presencia temporal en el vasto océano del espacio. Sin las neuronas para crear una percepción virtual del pasado y el futuro basada en todas nuestras experiencias, no hay existencia real del pasado y del futuro. Todo lo que hay, es el Presente.”

“Current research in any field of Science has not yet reached the point where we could start exploring the existential question regarding God as a Supreme Entity driving causality in the universe. However, as modern Neuroscience progresses further and gets more advanced, we shall get to dive deeper into the physiological processes underneath the Qualia of God in human mind. What we have seen so far through our studies in Neurotheology, is that it is not God himself/herself/itself, rather it is people’s perception of God that influences the human life. The Qualia of God impact all aspects of human life by altering the body chemistry at a cellular level.”

“Sonett von El Dorado Wo ist Eldorado? Es ist kein Ort, es ist eine Person. Wo ist das Himmelreich? Der Himmel ist kein Ort, der Himmel sind Menschen. Wo können wir Freude finden? Nicht der Markt, Frieden liegt in guten Taten. Wo finden wir Gesundheit? Gesundheit liegt in der Einfachheit, nicht in Maschinen. Wo können wir Mut finden? Mut kommt vom Charakter, nicht von der Bank. Was ist der Weg zum Fortschritt? Nicht durch Luxus, Fortschritt kommt durch Kollektivität. Je geringer die Bedürfnisse, desto besser das Leben. Verliere dich unter Menschen, der Weg nach vorne ist Liebe.”
