Quote by Joe Dixon

“In today’s world, the cult of the individual is the new religion. No one is allowed to contradict the individual, to tell him he’s wrong, a waste of space, a liability, a degenerate. We have to pretend that all individuals – no matter how vile – are sacred. We are not allowed to take any action against them, to reform them, correct them, educate them. After all, everyone has their own truth, so everyone is automatically right.”

“The concern scientists had regarding passenger viruses was not unfounded. You may recall the disastrous SV40 monkey virus which contaminated the polio vaccines. There are scientists who claim this virus is the cause of multiple human cancers. On CDC’s website a page on vaccine safety, which was suddenly removed (archived copies exist), states that: “SV40 virus has been found in certain types of cancer in humans, but it has not been determined that SV40 causes these cancers.”

“According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, less than half of us get the annual flu vaccine, even though each year in the United States the flu kills up to twenty thousand people and lands over one hundred thousand in the hospital, and the vaccine can typically prevent or at least soften the blow of the virus if it’s contracted. In a bad year, when the flu is especially virulent, up to sixty thousand people in the United States will die if they are unvaccinated. Tens of thousands of Americans perish in car crashes each year, and more than half of those people weren’t wearing seat belts. Nearly a quarter of teenagers in fatal accidents are distracted by their cell phones; every day eleven teenagers die as a result of texting while driving (car crashes are the leading cause of death of teens in the United States). And vanity must trump sanity when it comes to tanning: more than 3.5 million individuals are diagnosed with skin cancer yearly and nearly ten thousand of them die. Today one in five deaths in the United States is now associated with obesity. Over the two-year period of the Ebola virus “outbreak,” there was one U.S. death. So, indeed, éclairs are scarier than Ebola.”

“Muy a menudo oímos eso de que en una historia de fantasía medieval no sería «realista» tener a personajes no masculinos en posiciones de poder, pero esta afirmación no es más que un reflejo de la idea de sociedad que tiene el emisor. Y si lo no masculino no tiene lugar en la cultura, ¿dónde lo tiene? Eso es lo que provoca la disonancia cognitiva. Ver que existes, pero no eres reconocido. Reconocerte a ti mismo, pero no verte reflejado en el juicio de otros sobre ti.”

“La disonancia cognitiva nos lleva a mentirnos a nosotras mismas. Intentamos fusionar las dos ideas conflictivas de manero que no nos creen malestar. La disonancia cognitiva se basa en una actitud conformista, la toma de decisiones y el esfuerzo. Bien sabemos que tomar decisiones conlleva inconsistencias; decidir una cosa sobre otras hace que necesariamente tengamos que negar una parte en la que podríamos creer. Es por esto que supone un problema ver personajes que representan la feminidad según la entienden los hombres, porque no se adecúa a lo que la feminidad puede ser. Hemos fundamentado nuestro pensamiento en binarios solo para descubrir que esa es una generalización de la realidad.”
