Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper Quotes

“How to Tell A Human (Naskar Test) How to tell a human from ape, when both look the same? Look for the creature that considers everyone outside their religion a heathen, and everyone outside their culture a heretic - that's a textbook ape. Now look for the being that finds the same human spirit in every culture, religion and nation - that right there, is a rare human specimen. How to tell a human from robot, when both look the same? Look for the contraption that considers everything outside logic, without value - that's a lifeless robot. Look for the soul that knows when to, and when not to, apply logic in life and society - that's a living human.”

“The Drunken Polyglot (Sonnet 2300) I never hankered for booze or drugs, you know why - because I'm already drunk, with the most hard-hitting, brain-altering contraband in history - I'm ever consumed with languages and cultures. Latin Passion, Turkish Woundlight, Nordic Thunder, Celtic Wonder, Afro Grit, American Ambition, Arabian Adamance, Chinese Ingenuity, Indian Nonduality - like rivers running eager to meet in sea, cultures converged to bring me to life. I am vast beyond the spell of tribe, I am the ruin of all resurging reich. Call it Reich, Empire or Uncle Sam - Zionist State or Hindu Rashtra - Animal Kingdoms are found everywhere, still, reason is to reichs what phenyl is to floor.”
