“Considering the hatred the Hebrews felt towards the asherim, a major symbol of the female religion, it would not be too surprising if the symbolism of the tree of forbidden fruit, said to offer the knowledge of good and evil, yet clearly represented in the myth as the provider of sexual consciousness, was included in the creation story to warn that eating the fruit of this tree has caused the downfall of all humanity. Eating of the tree of the Goddess, which stood by each alter, was as dangerously "pagan" as were Her sexual customs and Her oracular serpents. So into the myth of how the world began, the story that the Levites oferred as the explanation of the creation of all existence, they place the advisory serpent and the woman who accepted its counsel, eating of the tree that gave her the understanding of what "only the gods knew" - the secret of sex - how to create life.”

“Considering the popularity of soaps with the African-American audience, it's grotesque that the entertainment industry, for all its vaunted liberalism, is lagging so far behind social changes in the United States. And why has there never been an all-black daytime network soap? It would probably blow the white soaps off the map.”
“Considering the Scottish census through these theoretical lenses, where the census is not a neutral representation of a reality but a tool to construct a governable population, raises questions as to whether the census is an exercise in knowledge construction or a tool to bolster the state’s capacity to manage its population. These two objectives are not exclusive: improved knowledge likely facilitates the design of more efficient ways to coerce, control and discipline people who live within a state's jurisdiction. However, if the construction of knowledge is no longer the primary purpose of a census, this throws into doubt then need for a census to collect accurate information that authentically represents the lives and experiences of the people about whom the data relates.”

“Considering these precursors, a debate has arisen about which country spawned the earliest fascist movement. France is a frequent candidate. Russia has been proposed. Hardly anyone puts Germany first. It may be that the earliest phenomenon that can be functionally related to fascism is American: the Ku Klux Klan. Just after the Civil War, some former Confederate officers, fearing the vote given to African Americans in 1867 by the Radical Reconstructionists, set up a militia to restore an overturned social order. The Klan constituted an alternate civic authority, parallel to the legal state, which, in the eyes of the Klan’s founders, no longer defended their community’s legitimate interests. By adopting a uniform (white robe and hood), as well as by their techniques of intimidation and their conviction that violence was justified in the cause of their group’s destiny,88 the first version of the Klan in the defeated American South was arguably a remarkable preview of the way fascist movements were to function in interwar Europe. It should not be surprising, after all, that the most precocious democracies—the United States and France—should have generated precocious backlashes against democracy.”

“Considero que el psicoanálisis postula algo equivocado y peligroso: eso que yo denominaría “pandeterminismo”. Con esta expresión me refiero a la visión del hombre que niega su capacidad para asumir posturas personales frente a las circunstancias, con independencia de cuáles sean. El hombre no está absolutamente condicionado y determinado; al contrario, es él quien decide si cede ante determinadas circunstancias o si resiste frente a ellas. En otras palabras, el hombre, en última instancia, se determina a sí mismo.”

“Considero que la idea de la «degradació» lingüística sembla encara molt més greu, perquè s'hi barregen constantment dues qüestions: l'una té a veure amb els efectes desestabilitzadors de la influència del castellà; l'altra, en canvi, té a veure amb el fet de l'evolució a què està sotmesa qualsevol llengua. En el cas del català, les coses són tan envitricollades que és molt difícil de distingir les dues qüestions; però no solament és imprescindible de distingir-les (des d'un punt de vista lingüístic, polític, etc.), sinó que seria suïcida de no intentar-ho. Per tant «degradació» sí, però cal anar alerta de no confondre canvis «normals» amb desestabilitzacions.”
