Famous Sol Luckman Quotes

“Consider that the Dragon, the hive-mind overlord forever whispering self-destructive notions in your ear to extract more of your energy for food, usually wants you to keep talking. The very last thing it needs is for you to shut up when your dander is up and you’re on the verge of opening your mouth and inserting your foot. Shamans and energetic alchemists maintain that inner silence can be a sign of the Dragon losing its grip on your mind. Outer silence, especially when called for in challenging circumstances, can be a sign that you’re starting to experience inner quietude.”

“To have a knee-jerk reaction to technology is to think like a victim. This is how the Dragon wants you to think—in all ways at all times. Its entire control apparatus is predicated on your tacit or explicit acceptance of victim mentality. I’d argue that this even applies to the world’s predatory class, the so-called elites, those puffed-up minions who, while they may get a rush out of preying on others, must on some level suspect they themselves are ultimately just Dragon food. But we, not technology, and not even the Dragon, are the real creators here. The Dragon knows this. That’s why it uses us to build its world for it, since apparently it can’t do so on its own—and it’s high time we figured this out for ourselves.”
