“The time will come when the Universe calls it a draw, and our planet, along with most of its living forms, will cease to exist. This existential event may happen a few years from now, a few hundred years from, a few thousand years from now, or a few billion years from now. No one really knows, when exactly. What we do know is that whatever causes a reset of our planet, will happen in a spontaneous combustion existential event.”

“Love gives us the motivation to keep moving forward. It sheds light on the darkness of trauma so that triumph can prevail. I firmly believe that creativity and its inherent beauty would help change the world for the better if more countries, cultures, and people embraced this sort of mentality. There is a profound richness of experience that is shared within having a sense of community. It unifies the human condition by emphasizing pleasure’s treasure!”

Settlers or nomads. Men or women. Cis or trans. Natives or immigrants. Citizens or noncitizens. Black or White. Rich or poor. Gay or straight. Believers or nonbelievers. Extroverts or introverts. Rural or urban. Nationalists or globalists. Republican or Democrat. Conservative or progressive.”

“We prefer our tribes to the others. We believe in the superiority of our tribe, and we push back against those who threaten our group. Our tribes give us a sense of belonging, cooperation, purpose, comfort, and support. We nurture our tribes with myths and morals, facts and fictions, to bind ourselves to one another.”

“No és mi arról a véleménye, hogy az ember az állatoktól eltérően olyan élőlény, mely állandó tudásvágyat érez? Valahol olvastam erről. – Én is – tette hozzá Valentin. – Azonban a baj gyökere nem ott van, hogy az ember, legalábbis az átlagember, könnyedén leküzdi ezt a tudásvágyat. Szerintem ilyen vágy egyáltalán nem létezik. Él bennünk viszont egy olyan vágy, mely arra ösztönöz, hogy igyekezzünk mindent megérteni, ehhez viszont nincs szükség tudásra. A feltételezés, hogy van isten, semmihez nem mérhető, nagyszerű lehetőséget nyújt arra, hogy mindent tökéletesen megértsünk, anélkül, hogy mindent tökéletesen megismernénk… Vázoljon az ember előtt egy végtelenül leegyszerűsített világmodellt, s magyarázzon minden eseményt ennek a leegyszerűsített modellnek a segítségével. Ehhez a megközelítéshez semmiféle ismeretre nincs szükség. Elég néhány betanult képlet, valamint az, amit intuíciónak nevezünk, gyakorlati érzék és az úgynevezett józan ész.”

“Those are your divisions, the false dichotomies and the hegemonic hierarchies of materialist colonizers. We, too, have been the slaves of your desires, unwitting tools, forging the destruction of the planet, and things will change whether you like it or not. In the end days of the Anthropocene (your word, your hubris, not ours), Matter is making a comeback. We are taking back our bodies, reclaiming our material selves. In a neo-materialist world, Every Thing Matters.”
