“The grand purpose of the classically built environment, ultimately, is to propel us out of our finite selves and into the limitlessness of the divine cosmos, to shatter our pretenses and present to us a whole new way of thinking about the meaning of life itself.”

“The modern architects are incorrect in their thinking. Ornament is not a crime. It is tactile, invigorating, life-sustaining, and human.”

“Cyberspace has become the new psychological landscape of humanity, a space we inhabit with our thoughts, our mind, our imagination, and one that, on average, absorbs more of our physical time than any other activity.
Within it, desire and knowledge intertwine, intimacy and distance coexist, freedom and dependence overlap.
Participation in cyberspace, however, inevitably entails interaction with others, and this interaction is often experienced in a looser, less regulated way than in-person encounters.
It is here that the need arises to rethink citizenship, not as belonging to a state, but as conscious participation in a shared digital reality.”

“The Accidental American
(Naskaristana 2753)
Five whole years I went from
door to door, looking for support,
I wanted to build my own tech startup,
but all I received was ridicule and advise -
finally I withdrew myself
from the nation I was born in,
and placed all my attention on America -
I had zero money, my only assets were
my heart and brain, which was all I needed
to reshape America, then the whole world.
The Naskar you know is a direct outcome
of the entrepreneur that never came to life -
naskar the youngster failed in his innovation dreams,
so Naskar the Civilization emerged as the earth way of life.”
