“We have evidence all around us in our daily analytic practice and in contemporary world history that this earth-shaking archetypal event is taking place here and now. It has already started. It is manifesting itself in international relations; in the breakdown of the social structures of Western civilization; in political, ethnic, and religious groupings; as well as within the psyches of individuals- the momentous event of the coming of the self into conscious realization.” WorldWellsSelfEarthPoliticalIndividualSocialGrowthReligiousPracticeEventsAcceptanceCivilizationConsciousEvidenceRelationStructureWesternInternationalContemporaryRealizationManifestWorld HistoryHere And NowShakingInternational RelationsBreakdownWestern CivilizationAnalyticsSocial StructurePsych Author:Edward F Edinger
“I would say that introverts make some of the best international philosophers. The less common attribute of the introverted lifestyle - a close societal connection, as such a connection disappears or changes in relevance as the currents of the winds change - leaves too much room for one's own cultural bias. Instead, introverts tend to turn inward, the laboratory of being and all its forms. This is the most accurate study of the individual human being, which is in turn, rather than those affected by cultural limitations, the most universal reflection of human understanding and human behavior.” HumansFormTurnsIndividualUnderstandingHuman BeingsRoomsCommonStudyToo MuchWindBehaviorReflectionConnectionsUniversalInternationalPhilosopherCurrentsDisappearLifestyleLimitationAffectedAttributesAccurateBiasInwardIntrovertHuman BehaviorLaboratoryRelevanceIntroverted Author:Criss Jami
“If you’re too stupid to understand that a philosophy that favors a federally structured republic, with numerous restraints on the scope and power of government to interfere with individual rights or the free market, is a lot different from an ethnic-nationalist, atheistic, and socialist program of genocide and international aggression, you should use this rule of thumb: If someone isn’t advocating the murder of millions of people in gas chambers and a global Reich for the White Man you shouldn’t assume he’s a Nazi and you should know it’s pretty damn evil to call him one.” PeopleIfsKnowsMenShouldDifferentPhilosophyUseGovernmentEvilIndividualWhiteMillionsRightsStupidProgramMurderAssumingInternationalFavorsDamnGasRepublicGenocideAggressionSocialistInterfereNaziRestraintWhite ManFree MarketScopeChamberThumbsAtheisticAdvocatingIndividual RightsGas Chambers Author:Jonah Goldberg
“Though some still see the Internet, for example, as a democratic structure for international individual expression, it is more realistic to recognize it as only the latest technological vehicle to be turned, sooner or later, to corporate advantage - for advertising, marketing and general corporate aggrandizement.” StillsIndividualExampleExpressionInternetAdvantageStructureDemocraticMarketingInternationalAdvertisingCorporateRealisticVehicleSooner Or LaterTechnologicalIndividual Expression Author:Herbert Schiller
“If the resources of different nations are treated as exclusive properties of these nations as wholes, if international economic relations, instead of being relations between individuals, become increasingly relations between whole nations organized as trading bodies, they inevitably become the source of friction and envy between whole nations.” IfsDifferentWholeBodyIndividualNationsEconomicSourceResourcesRelationPropertyInternationalEnvyTreatedOrganizedTradingExclusiveFriction Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“It is one of the most fatal illusions that, by substituting negotiations between states or organized groups for competition for markets or for raw materials, international friction would be reduced. This would merely put a contest of force in the place of what can only metaphorically be called the "struggle" of competition and would transfer to powerful and armed states, subject to no superior law, the rivalries which between individuals had to be decided without recourse to force.” StatesWould BeLawIndividualForcePowerfulStruggleGroupsSubjectsMaterialsIllusionDecidedCompetitionInternationalSuperiorsOrganizedContestsNegotiationTransfersRivalryRaw MaterialsFrictionRecourseRoad To Serfdom Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
