“Political monopoly and economic monopoly are two sides of the same coin, two heads of the same monster. Despite all the claims to the contrary, the essential ideology of Neo-Conservatism is to preserve the status quo, with all of its injustices. Its public relations experts call for "freedom and democracy" without a framework of higher values. They fail to comprehend the need for a paradigm of justice and therefore are blind to what concerns most of the people in the world. This failure is the taproot of terrorism.” PeopleWorldNeedsTwoPoliticalValuesPoliticsSidesJusticeEconomyDemocracyFailingEconomicHigherEssentialsConcernClaimsRelationBlindInjusticeTerrorismContraryMonstersDespiteIdeologyPreservesExpertsLiberalismStatus QuoCoinsMonopolyConservatismFrameworkParadigmTwo SidesPublic RelationsTwo Heads Author:Robert Dickson Crane
“Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.” WayMeanIndividualAtheismHigherPleaseUniversalRelationAbsolutesNotesSuperiorsParadoxInferiorsJustifiedSubordinates Author:Soren Kierkegaard
“It is characteristic of the barbarian ... to insist upon seeing a thing "as it is." The desire testifies that he has nothing in himself with which to spiritualize it; the relation is one of thing to thing without the intercession of the imagination. Impatient of the veiling with which the man of higher type gives the world imaginative meaning, the barbarian and the Philistine, who is the barbarian living amid culture, demands the access of immediacy. Where the former wishes representation, the latter insists upon starkness of materiality, suspecting rightly that forms will mean restraint.” MenWorldGivingMeanFormDesireCultureWishImaginationSeeingHe ManTypeHigherDemandRelationAccessFormerCharacteristicsLatterRepresentationRestraintImaginativeImpatientBarbariansIntercessionImmediacyPhilistinesMateriality Author:Richard M.

“If you wish to alter or annihilate a pyramid of numbers in a serial relation, you alter or remove the bottom number. If we wish to annihilate the junk pyramid, we must start with the bottom of the pyramid: the Addict in the Street, and stop tilting quixotically for the "higher ups" so called, all of whom are immediately replaceable. The addict in the street who must have junk to live is the one irreplaceable factor in the junk equation. When there are no more addicts to buy junk there will be no junk traffic. As long as junk need exists, someone will service it.” IfsNeedsLongWishNumbersStreetsHigherRelationBottomFactorsRemoveTrafficAddictEquationsJunkPyramidsSerialsIrreplaceable Book:Naked Lunch: The Restored Text Source: Naked Lunch: The Restored Text
“One can truly say that the irresistible progress of natural science since the time of Galileo has made its first halt before the study of the higher parts of the brain, the organ of the most complicated relations of the animal to the external world. And it seems, and not without reason, that now is the really critical moment for natural science; for the brain, in its highest complexity-the human brain-which created and creates natural science, itself becomes the object of this science.” WorldFirstsHumansMadeReasonMomentsSeemsScienceNaturalAnimalBrainStudyProgressCreationObjectsHigherHighestRelationComplicatedCriticalComplexityOrgansIrresistibleHaltHuman BrainNatural ScienceCritical Moments Author:Ivan Pavlov
“If the nature of the work is properly appreciated and applied, it will stand in the same relation to the higher faculties as food is to the physical body. It nourishes and enlivens the higher man and urges him to produce the best he is capable of. It directs his freewill along the proper course and disciplines the animal in him into progressive channels. It furnishes an excellent background for man to display his scale of values and develop his personality.” IfsMenBodyValuesCoursesAnimalProducePersonalityHigherDisciplineCapableRelationScalesBackgroundsExcellentUrgesFacultyProgressiveDisplayAppreciatedPhysical Body Author:J.
