Quote by Cory Doctorow

“Natalie, as hard as you might find this to believe, I respect you in addition to loving you as your father. I would like the part of you that makes you "you" to survive this adventure. I don't want an automaton with a superficial resemblance to my daughter. I want you to realize all this pissing around with radical politics and campouts with dropouts is not a long-term strategy. I understand you feel guilty about having so much when everyone else has so little, but what good do you think it does to turn your back on reality? You can't wish inequality away.”

“If the theory of "Cause and Effect" reacts in opposite way is true; for example : If we take a decision in future of any past substance or action. And our past became align with the present according to our decision. That means - we live in multi dimensional parallel effect module together at a Time. Where we can only physically witness - that what our choice made an effect for the cause create for future reference. And excluding our choice - all possible effects and choices exist in obsolete way in the same parallel multi-dimensional time frames silently out of our witnessing sight; may we can't experience it but it does exist in each and every frames. i.e - supposedly you want to eat something spicy; due to the desire created, as per effects all possible spicy food creates multi-parallel options for the desire (Cause). And when you chose any one of them it creates particulate frames accordingly and finally as per the decision taken you witness (which is effect) your chosen frame as per the desire which was cause, and it create the rest frames accordingly ( The Future effects ) rest options remains obsoleted. But if you go back to your decision making time and chose any of the other options which was already created while your desire pop up for spicy food; then future will align with that particular option as witness ( The effect ). This is a multi-dimensional time cause and effect paradox matrix.”

“There comes a time, a sort of epiphany … when you realize that everything you’ve discovered through your ‘research’ has basically been fed to you because you’ve been looking for it! We’re in a complex feedback loop ... that reveals to us an imaginary ‘reality’ that we choose to buy into … just before it becomes our lived ‘reality.”
