“I finally understood why it is that we humans keep cats as pets. There’s a limit to how well we know ourselves. For example, we don’t know what we look like to others; we can’t predict our own future or what our own death will be like. So that’s why we need cats, to help us understand ourselves better. It’s just like my mother said: Cats don’t need us. It’s us who needs them.”

“The Naskar DSM (NDSM Sonnet 2596) If your history book, pol-sci book, criminology book, doesn't register the US government as the planet's number one terrorist organization, followed by the british empire, you are studying fake history, fake sociology, fake criminology. If your psychology book doesn't declare upfront, that ultraindividualism is a sickness, you are studying fancy make believe; if your DSM doesn't mention that, fundamentalism and nationalism are the vilest plague of the mind, it's the DSM of a lesser species. Yet you know what the irony is - egotism, dollarism, fascism, fanaticism, fundamentalism, these are all normal, all natural, but they are normal in the jungle. The question is not, is it natural! The question is, should it be human nature!”
