“I have a recurring daymare that when the Glorious People's SWAT Teams smash their way in, most of us - by which I mean members of the general freedom movement - will be caught flatfooted, sitting in our underwear behind our computer monitors, guzzling Jolt and gorging on Cheetos, while arguing with our friends and enemies online about immigration or abortion, two of the issues that the Lefties know they can always rely on to keep that general freedom movement divided and powerless.” PeopleKnowsWayMeanTwoBehindsEnemyIssuesTeamMovementMembersComputerSittingCaughtArguingImmigrationRelyGloriousAbortionOnlineDividedPowerlessUnderwearRecurringFriends And EnemiesLefties Author:L.

“As Walt Whitman correctly surmised, we are large and we harbor multitudes within us. And those multitudes are locked in chronic battle. There is an ongoing conversation among the different factions in your brain, each competing to control the single output channel of your behavior. As a result, you can accomplish the strange feats of arguing with yourself, cursing at yourself, and cajoling yourself to do something - feats that modern computers simply do not do.” DifferentResultsBrainModernStrangeBattleConversationBehaviorComputerAccomplishArguingLockedMultitudesCompetingOngoingHarborsFeatsFactionsOutputWaltCursing Author:David Eagleman
“We're very aggressive speakers. I remember when I was with one of my roommates in New York - and she's Portuguese, too - and we were in an Apple store talking about a computer in Portuguese. Some guy comes up to us and goes, "Hey, hey! Peace, peace! Stop arguing." It's not arguing. This is really just how we talk.” RememberGuyComputerArguingAggressiveSpeakersRemember WhenPortugueseRoommate Author:Daniela Ruah
