“The mortal enemies of man are not his fellows of another continent or race; they are the aspects of the physical world which limit or challenge his control, the disease germs that attack him and his domesticated plants and animals, and the insects that carry many of these germs as well as working notable direct injury. This is not the age of man, however great his superiority in size and intelligence; it is literally the age of insects.” MenWorldWellsAgeChallengesAnimalRaceEnemyLimitsDiseaseAspectDirectFellowsPlantSizeMortalsInjuryContinentsSuperiorityInsectsNotableGermsPlants And AnimalsMortal EnemiesDomesticated Animals Author:Warder Clyde Allee
“Obama has already demonstrated an extraordinary ability to change the limits of what one can say publicly. His greatest achievement up to now is that, in his refined non-provocative way, he has introduced into public speech topics which had hitherto been de facto unsayable: the continuing importance of race in politics, the positive role of atheists in public life, the necessity to talk with "enemies" like Iran or Hamas, and so on. This is just what US politics needs today more than anything, if it is to break out of its gridlock: new words which will change the way we think and act.” IfsThinkingWayNeedsTodayAbilityRaceEnemyRolesBreakLimitsSpeechAchievementImportanceExtraordinaryAtheistIranContinuingTopicsPublic LifeRefinedProvocativeBreak OutHamasGreatest AchievementNew WordsAbility To ChangeGridlock Author:Slavoj Žižek

“Harmonizing religion and science makes you seem like an open-minded and reasonable person, while asserting their incompatibility makes enemies and brands you as “militant.” The reason is clear: religion occupies a privileged place in our society. Attacking it is off-limits, although going after other supernatural or paranormal beliefs like ESP, homeopathy, or political worldviews is not. Accommodationism is not meant to defend science, which can stand on its own, but to show that in some way religion can still make credible claims about the world.” WorldWayPersonsStillsReasonShowsSeemsPoliticalBeliefEnemyClearLimitsClaimsBrandsParanormalReasonableOur SocietyPrivilegedScience And ReligionAttackingWorldviewOpen MindedCredibleMilitantHomeopathyIncompatibilityEsp Author:Jerry A.

“Still, it is not perverse to wonder whether the spectacle of America, currently learning a lesson - one that conservatives should not have to learn on the job - about the limits of power to subdue an unruly world, has emboldened many enemies.” WorldShouldStillsJobsAmericaWonderEnemyLessonsLimitsLearning LessonsUnruly Author:George Will
“Islamic ethics is based on 'limits and proportions,' which means that the answer to an offensive cartoon is a cartoon, not the burning of embassies or the kidnapping of people designated as the enemy. Islam rejects guilt by association. Just as Muslims should not blame all Westerners for the poor taste of a cartoonist who wanted to be offensive, those horrified by the spectacle of rent-a-mob sackings of embassies in the name of Islam should not blame all Muslims for what is an outburst of fascist energy.” PeopleShouldMeanWantedNamesEnergyAnswersPoorEnemyTasteLimitsEthicsBlameGuiltIslamBurningProportionIslamicRejectsAssociationOffensiveCartoonFascistsCartoonistKidnappingWesternersOutburstEmbassySackingPoor Taste Author:Amir Taheri

“Is he a dread genetic determinist, or a dread environmental determinist? He is neither, of course, for both these species of bogeyman are as mythical as werewolves. By increasing the information we have about the various causes of the constraints that limit our current opportunities, he has increased our powers to avoid what we want to avoid, prevent what we want to prevent. Knowledge of the roles of our genes, and the genes of the other species around us, is not the enemy of human freedom, but one of its best friends.” WantHumansCoursesOpportunityCausesEnemyRolesInformationLimitsSpeciesEnvironmentalCurrentsVariousGenesDreadConstraintsWerewolfHuman Freedom Book:Freedom Evolves Source: Freedom Evolves
