“I existed before Star Trek. I started in live television. I was there when the cameras were as big as a table, had internal fans that were whirring and tubes that, because of the heat, had to come right up to our face for a close-up. Now, we are talking about green screen and putting us in locations that we'll never visit. What has happened to us is a miracle, and the miracle is our inventiveness. The tragedy of our lives is also our inventiveness.” BigsFacesLife IsStarsTalkingOur LivesHappenedFansTelevisionMiracleTragedyCamerasTablesGreenScreensHeatInternalsLocationTubesInventivenessLive Television Author:William Shatner
“The philosopher ... subjects experience to his critical judgment, and this contains a value judgment namely, that freedom from toil is preferable to toil, and an intelligent life is preferable to a stupid life. It so happened that philosophy was born with these values. Scientific thought had to break this union of value judgment and analysis, for it became increasingly clear that the philosophic values did not guide the organisation of society.” PhilosophyLife IsValuesBornBreakClearHappenedSubjectsStupidJudgmentIntelligentUnionsPhilosopherCriticalGuidesAnalysisToilOrganisationPhilosophicIntelligent LifeStupid Life Book:One-Dimensional Man: Studies in the Ideology of Advanced Industrial Society Source: One-Dimensional Man: Studies in the Ideology of Advanced Industrial Society
