Quote by Saki

“Reginald gave a delicate shiver, such as an Italian greyhound might give in contemplating the approach of an ice age of which he personally disapproved, and resigned himself to the inevitable political discussion.”

“A homeless guy lifts a bread out of hunger, it's called burglary, but a cool-looking guy rips off an entire population, while spreading disparities wider than ever, it's called entrepreneurship. What a world! What a pathetic world!”

“Disparity, Education and Economy Every dollar spent on luxury is a dollar of disparity. Citizens of earth could force big tech to pay their employees fair wages tomorrow, if they just stop buying their fancy, overpriced products and go for humbler alternatives unless the companies bring down their disparities in salary. The CEO may enjoy certain benefits of their position, but not until those working at the bottom can afford the fundamentals of life for their family. I'll say it to you plainly. An employee wronged is a company wronged. You see, trying to build a disparity-free economy pursuing revenue is like trying to achieve pregnancy through vasectomy. So long as greed drives the economy, it's not economy, but catastrophe. So long as greed drives the industries, it's not industrialization, it is vandalization. Ambition to climb the ladder of status so that you could be on the affluent side of disparity, is no ambition of a civilized human, it's the ambition of a caveman. So, before you pursue an ambition in life, educate yourself on a civilized definition of ambition. Yet the situation in our world is so pathetic that that's exactly the kind of ambition educational institutes sell. Schools and universities don't teach you to build a civilized society free from disparity, they teach you clever tactics to be on the affluent side of disparity. This is not education, this is castration. Concern for the society should be the bedrock of education - collective welfare should be the bedrock of economy - if not, we might as well start living as hobos on the streets, because with greed as the driving principle of education and economy, sooner or later all of us will end up on the streets.”

“There is no explosion in human population, there's only explosion in selfishness, recklessness and indifference. If we could just overpower these primitive tenets, earth could sustain not seven billion, but seventy billion lives quite majestically. A society that has no grip over its selfishness, has to focus on population control.”

“Be A Tesla (The Sonnet) In a world full of Elon Musks, Be a Dan Price. Use entrepreneurship to instill equity, Not as a vessel of disparity's vice. In a world full of Jordan Petersons, Be a Jiddu Krishnamurti. Use intellect to expand perception, Not to turn back the clock of primitivity. In a world full of Donald Trumps, Be a Dolly Parton, be an Ocasio-Cortez. Use fame and politics to alleviate anguish, Not to feed on people's distress. Let others adore the crook Edison all they wanna. You for one be a Marie Curie, be a Nikola Tesla.”
