“The notion that a society could be regulated entirely by market forces is a utopian fantasy: an impossible dream generated by imagining what the world would be like if everyone's behavior was utterly consistent with some abstract moral ideal-in this case, economic theories that assume all human action is based on calculating, systematic, (but scrupulously law-abiding), greed.” IfsWorldHumansDreamWould BeActionLawForceMoralCasesFantasyImpossibleEconomicTheoryBehaviorIdealsAssumingNotionGreedLibertarianAbstractConsistentAbidingSystematicUtopianCalculatingHuman ActionsEconomic TheoryImpossible Dream Author:David Graeber
“It would seem to me that If this physical life, of which we are now aware, does indeed comprise the entirety of human experience, then what we seem to intuitively know to be true is entirely backwards. For if this is the case, then it must be the despicable tyrant, free of any moral values, and not the selfless compassionate who sacrifices himself for the good of mankind that is truly the one most deserving of our reverence and emulation.” IfsKnowsLifeHumansDoeSeemsValuesMoralCasesSacrificeMankindBeing TrueCompassionateTyrantsReverenceSelflessBackwardsHuman ExperienceDeservingDespicableMoral ValuesEntiretyEmulation Author:Derek R.

“....chemotherapy's success record is dismal.

“Almost all religions provide opportunities for human beings to convince themselves of their own righteousness, to speak in the name of God, and even to go to war on God's behalf.

“There is a case for saying that the creation of new aesthetic forms has been the most fundamentally productive of all forms of human activity.

“My position as regards the monied interests can be put in a few words. In every civilized society property rights must be carefully safeguarded; ordinarily and in the great majority of cases, human rights and property rights are fundamentally and in the long run, identical; but when it clearly appears that there is a real conflict between them, human rights must have the upper hand; for property belongs to man and not man to property.” MenHumansLongRealHandsRunningPoliticsInterestCasesRightsPositionConflictRegardMajorityPropertyHuman RightsCivilizedLong RunsIdenticalProperty RightsFew WordsCivilized SocietyUpper Hand Author:Theodore Roosevelt

“There is such a thing as righteous judgment, but it seems that lately the word 'judgment' has become a curse word, period. The issue isn't whether or not we're insightful enough to avoid being judgmental, but whether or not we're secure enough to accept being judged. It is inevitable for every conscious human being to judge. It may spring from insight and experience and sincerity, and in such cases, it is quite beneficial on the receiving end.” HumansMayEndsEnoughSeemsHuman BeingsAcceptingCasesIssuesJudgingPeriodsJudgmentSpringConsciousInsightSecureInevitableCurseInsightfulSincerityJudgedReceivingRighteousBeneficialJudgmentalBeing JudgedCurse WordsBeing Judgmental Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
