“As a source of innovation, an engine of our economy, and a forum for our political discourse, the Internet can only work if it's a truly level playing field.

“No principle, that is possible to be named, can be more self-evidently false than this; or more self-evidently fatal to all political freedom. Yet it triumphed in the field, and is now assumed to be established. If it really be established, the number of slaves, instead of having been diminished by the war, has been greatly increased; for a man, thus subjected to a government that he does not want, is a slave.” IfsMenWantDoeHas BeensWarSelfGovernmentPoliticalNumbersPrinciplesFieldsSlavePolitical Freedom Book:No Treason: No. 1- Source: No Treason: No. 1-

“The result of the revolution in Germany has been to establish a democracy in the best sense of the word. We are steering towards an order of things guaranteeing a process of a natural and reasonable selection in the domain of political leadership, thanks to which that leadership will be entrusted to the most competent, irrespective of their descent, name or fortune. The memorable words of the great Corsican that every soldier carries a Field Marshal's baton in his knapsack, will find its political complement in Germany.” Has BeensPoliticalOrderNamesProcessNaturalResultsDemocracyFieldsRevolutionFortuneSoldierThanksMemorableGermanyReasonableCarrieSelectionDomainCompetentDescentComplementSteeringBatonPolitical Leadership Author:Adolf Hitler

“We need many more intrepid women who set out to expand both their and our concepts of the world. We need them in writing just as we need them in politics. We need that sense of adventure, of reaching wider, delving deeper, pushing further afield, whether that field be geographical, intellectual, political, personal, or all of these and more. Enough with decorousness. Let us risk preconceptions and treasured philosophies, bodies and souls. Let us be big and bawdy and full of courage.

“Compare mathematics and the political sciences - it's quite striking. In mathematics, in physics, people are concerned with what you say, not with your certification. But in order to speak about social reality, you must have the proper credentials, particularly if you depart from the accepted framework of thinking. Generally speaking, it seems fair to say that the richer the intellectual substance of a field, the less there is a concern for credentials, and the greater is the concern for content.” PeopleIfsThinkingRealitySeemsPoliticalOrderSpeakSocialGreaterFieldsIntellectualConcernConcernedFairsMathematicsAcceptedPhysicsSubstanceCompareFrameworkPolitical ScienceCredentials Book:The Chomsky-Foucault Debate: On Human Nature Source: The Chomsky-Foucault Debate: On Human Nature
