“Ensor sees with his imagination, but his vision is perfectly accurate, of an almost geometric precision. He is one of the very few who can really see. Like you, he has an obsession with masks; he is a seer as you and I are. The common herd, of course thinks that he is mad.*****************You shall see what sort of man Ensor is, and what a marvellous insight he has into the invisible realm where our vices are created... those vices for which our faces make masks.” ThinkingMenFacesCoursesImaginationCommonVisionLike YouMadVicesInsightInvisibleObsessionRealmsMaskAccurateHerdsPrecisionMarvellousSeersGeometric Book:Monsieur de Phocas Source: Monsieur de Phocas

There is even a dogma, which is today called, the "tragedy of the commons" which holds that if things are held in common they are going to be destroyed. If they're privatized, like you give them to Bechtel or Monsanto or ExxonMobil, then they'll be preserved because that's the capitalist's religion.” IfsGivingTodayCommonPrinciplesLike YouCapitalismTragedyDestroyedCapitalistDogmaMonsanto Author:Noam Chomsky
