Quote by Henry Miller

“Modern ilerlemenin vebası: kolonileştirme, ticaret, beleş Kutsal Kitap'lar, savaş, hastalıklar, takma kol ve bacaklar, fabrikalar, köleler, delilik, nevrozlar, psikozlar, kanser, frengi, verem, kansızlık, grevler, lokavtlar, kıtlık, hiçlik, boşluk, tedirginlik, kavga, umutsuzluk, sıkıntı, intihar, hileli iflas, damar sertliği, megalomani, şizofreni, fıtık, kokain, asit prusik, boğucu gaz bombaları, gözyaşartıcı gazlar, kuduz köpekler, kendi kendine telkin, kendi kendini zehirleme, psikoterapi, hidroterapi, elektrik masajları, elektrik süpürgeleri, konserve et, besleyici haplar, hemoroidler, kangren... Artık ıssız ada yok. Cennet yok. Göreceli mutluluk da yok. Kendilerinden delicesine kaçmaya çabalayan insanlar; kurtuluşu arayarak buzulların altında ya da tropikal bataklıklarda, ya da tırmanarak Himalaya'lara ya da boğularak stratosferde... XVIII. Yüzyıl insanları, böyle bir son özlüyorlardı. Sonunda bıktılar bundan. Başladıkları yere dönmek istediker, dölyatağına yeniden gelmek.”

“She wondered when Papa would accept that she wasn't the sort of girl gentlemen flocked to. In his eyes she was lovely, but Eliza knew he was the only one who saw her that way. Plain girls had made splashes in society, but usually by virtue of being vivacious and witty. Eliza tended to grow mute and hesitant in the presence of elegant strangers, and any wit she had vanished from her brain if one of them actually spoke to her. Undoubtedly Papa hoped her enormous dowry would outweigh her shyness, but Eliza would rather be that eccentric old lady with a house full of dogs than marry a husband who only wanted her money. So Papa could dream, but Eliza was far less certain. Perhaps some day she would meet an affable country squire who didn't need a beautiful, charming wife, but preferred a quiet girl content to play with her dog and tend her garden. And if not, she would just remain where she was.”

“The systems we will be exploring in order are: ● Breeding Targets: Arousal patterns tied to systems meant to get our ancestors to have sex with things that might bear offspring (e.g., arousal from things like penises, the female form, etc.). ● Inverse Systems: Arousal patterns that arise from a neural mix-up, causing something that disgusts the majority of the population to arouse a small portion of it (e.g., arousal from things like being farted on, dead bodies, having insects poured on one’s face, etc.). ● Emotional States and Concepts / Dominance and Submission: Arousal patterns that stem from either emotional concepts (such as betrayal, transformation, being eaten, etc.) or dominance and submission pathways. ● Emotional Connections to People: While emotional connections do not cause arousal in and of themselves, they do lower the threshold for arousal (i.e., you may become more aroused by a moderately attractive person you love than a very attractive stranger). ● Trope Attraction: Arousal patterns that are enhanced through a target’s adherence to a specific trope (a nurse, a goth person, a cheerleader, etc.). ● Novelty: Arousal patterns tied to the novelty of a particular stimulus. ● Pain and Asphyxiation: Arousal patterns associated with or enhanced by pain and oxygen deprivation. ● Basic Instincts: Remnants of our pre-cognitive mating instincts running off of a “deeper” autopilot-like neurological system (dry humping, etc.) that compel mating behavior without necessarily generating a traditional feeling of arousal. ● Physical Stimuli: Arousal patterns derived from physical interaction (kissing, touching an erogenous zone, etc.). ● Conditioned Responses: Arousal patterns resulting from conditioning (arousal from shoes, doorknobs, etc.).”

“Dropbox users themselves may be the source of security problems. If you are sharing a folder with 100 users, a couple of them are bound to be using easily guessed passwords to guard their accounts (the names of pets or first-born children, 'password', etc.). Sharing links can also lead to problems, if the wrong link is shared or someone posts the link online or in some other public forum.”
