“Atrocities are now shown in 30-second bites. Hardcore artistic horror is an expression of hating your neighbour.

“Architecture is the constant fight between man and nature, the fight to overwhelm nature, to possess it. The first act of architecture is to put a stone on the ground.

In these cultures, women are rigidly controlled by men.” MenWarChristianCultureReligiousHolyWesternMalesPrioritiesControlledThroatCompetingEasternDominanceSectsShiaHoly WarMale Dominance Author:Riane Eisler
