Quote by Henry Joseph-Grant

“There's two types of founders Parasitic: They're happy to profit from destruction, removal of freedoms, tightening of controls + use exploitation. Symbiotic: They're determined to empower, increase independence, decentralise controls + won't exploit. There is no in-between.”

“A name after all is a label as personal as “sweetheart” that a lover may use or as distant as a “hey you” that a stranger in a crowd may call out. But a name is more than a label. It is an inheritance that is uniquely your own. It is the primary way in which you respond to the world and the lens through which the world sees you. It defines you, shapes you, and grounds you. It is the one right you take for granted from the time you start interacting with society.”

“When tragedy strikes, everyone at once becomes a psychoanalyst, thinking they understand the world and themselves, but if they indeed did, they would see we are all the cause of such calamities. You can pass all the legislation you want, but in the end, our society is failing because we have failed. We have failed "leadership", failed society and families. We have, in fact, failed to look within. Perhaps if we lived in tribes of our choosing things would be better; maybe we shouldn't be here at all.”

“If the exchange act may thus be regarded as a creation of society, it is no less true to say that both society and the individual become aware of this only after exchanges have been completed. The work of an individual is, first and foremost, his own individual endeavour, motivated by his own self-interest. It is his personal labour, not the labour of society. But whether or not it conforms with the requirements of the total circulation of goods, of which his labour is necessarily a component part, can be determined only when all the component elements have been compared and the aggregate requirements of that circulation have been completely satisfied.”
