“Human emotions...
Be it kind or unkind,
not only affect him
but also the people;
he lives with, he deals with.
He is the center in fact,
The rest orbits around.
Affection, care, dedication, kindness, love, and loyalty work wonders.
Hatred, anger, dishonesty, hypocrisy, evil, and abuse make blunders.
In fact, We get what we give!”

“Human enhancement is now being driven by military imperatives, at least in the US, because civilian society is more conservative in its approach. It’s a missed opportunity for a society-wide push to understand and reduce our need to power the brain down for hours every day.

“Human existence basically is──a never to be completed imperfect tense.”
“Human existence cannot be silent, nor can it be nourished by false words, but only by true words, with which people transform the world. To exist, humanly, is to name the world, to change it. Once named, the world in its turn reappears to the namers as a problem and requires of them a new naming. People are not built in silence, but in word, in work, in action-reflection.”
“Human existence had to have a deeper source than our own dank fluids. Dank or rank. There had to be a force behind it, a principal being who was and is and ever shall be.”

“Human existence is a brutal experience to me... it's a brutal, meaningless experience - an agonizing, meaningless experience with some oases, delight, some charm and peace, but these are just small oases. Overall, it is a brutal, terrible experience, and so it salvation is what can you do to alleviate the agony of the human condition, the human predicament? That is what interests me the most.”
“Human existence is a penal colony; a sexually transmitted disease; a disappointment; nothing but suffering; “a sky-dive: out of a cunt into the grave”; a one-way ticket to the crematorium. “Nobody gets out of here alive”. Every day is a grim passage, a struggle through moments and hours of loneliness, boredom, emptiness, and self-loathing. I count myself among the pessimists. I believe that life is suffering. I force myself (my contraself) to look at other positions, but this remains my default. More specifically, I am a depressive realist.”

What counts for long-term survival is intelligent self-understanding, based upon a greater independence of thought than that tolerated today even in our most advanced democratic societies.”

“Human experience, which is constantly contradicting theory, is the great test of truth. A system, built upon the discoveries of a great many minds, is always of more strength, than what is produced by the mere workings of any one mind, which, of itself, can do very little. There is not so poor a book in the world that would not be a prodigious effort were it wrought out entirely by a single mind, without the aid of prior investigators.”

“Human eyes are set in the front of our heads. This gives us binocular, stereoscopic vision, which means that our eyes combine the images we see to obtain a three-dimensional effect. This results in excellent depth perception, also shared by other hunters, such as dogs, cats, hawks, and owls. Horses, however, have eyes set on the sides of their heads, providing excellent lateral vision, a trait they share with other prey species, such as sheep, deer, rabbits, ducks, and pigeons.”
