Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience Quotes

“You know, which nation has the nicest people? You cannot guess in a million years. The nation with the nicest people is, Earth, for no nation has exclusive franchise over niceness - goodness is a human quality, not a national one. Nationalism is an animal trait, not a human one. Sacredness is a secular practice, not sectarian. Culture is an act of expansion, not exclusion.”

“DNA & Race (Sonnet) Ancestral roots count for nothing, modern humans are identified by behavior. In the end, all roots lead to Africa - transcending roots we lay the human culture. Beyond markers of immediate biological family, DNA ancestry tests are practically meaningless. There is no genetic test for ethnicity - science declares sanctions on racism, not validation. There is no White DNA, Black DNA. There is no Muslim DNA, Jewish DNA. There is no Aryan DNA, Dravidian DNA. We're made of stuff of the stars, why do you still rot in the jungle gutter! If you are seeking validation for your bigotry and prejudice, all we scientists can offer you are directions to the nearest psychiatrist.”

“I don't write on multiculturalism, I am multiculturalism, I'm the living specimen of a multicultural human from the future. Today I may be the anomaly, but tomorrow people like me will be the norm, and cultural exclusivity will be a deranged fringe practice, like witchcraft is today.”

“Pick a drop of blood from your finger, pick a drop from another, smudge it all on the palm of your hand - now tell me, which is which - which is heretic, which is believer - which is the Christian blood, which is the Muslim - which is the faithful blood, which is forbidden!”

“I Am The Naskar (Sonnet 2100) I am the Naskar, and I bridge people. Unlike religious salesmen, I don't offer you a promised land - because there is nothing to promise, that land of love and life already exists - it exists in your neurons - all you need to do is, bring down the walls that keep you foreign, all you need to do is, denounce the pills that keep you alien in your own home. And when I've drawn all my mortal breaths, I'll take leave with one final declaration - let there be gods - not one, not three, but billions upon billions - let each human be a god unto themselves - without fear, without prejudice - without superstition, without cynicism - let each mind rise triumphant over malice.”
