Quote by Carson Anekeya

“The concept of false consciousness elucidates how individuals in positions of disadvantage often internalize societal inequalities as inevitable, thus resigning themselves to unfulfilling roles and relationships. This phenomenon perpetuates a cycle of complacency that hinders both personal growth and collective efforts towards social justice within organizational settings.”

“Men før arbeiderklassen er skikket til å gripe makten ved revolusjon, til å lede, må den bli sin egen situasjon bevisst.

Oppgaven aktivistene har påtatt seg, er å grave bort grunnen for denne illusjonen ved å lete frem og peke på subtile former for ulikhet og undertrykkelse.”

“But if all maximizing models are really arguing is that “people will always seek to maximize something,” then they obviously can’t predict anything, which means employing them can hardly be said to make anthropology more scientific. All they really add to analysis is a set of assumptions about human nature. The assumption, most of all, that no one ever does anything primarily out of concern for others; that whatever one does, one is only trying to get something out of it for oneself. In common English, there is a word for this attitude. It’s called “cynicism.” Most of us try to avoid people who take it too much to heart. In economics, apparently, they call it “science.”
