“The greenhouse crisis is the bill coming due for the Industrial Revolution. It's not an accident. It's the logical outcome of our world view - the idea that we can control the forces of nature, that we can have short-term expedient gains without paying for them, that there are no limits to exploitation of the environment, that we can produce and consume faster than nature's ability to replenish.” WorldIdeasForceTermAbilityViewsEnvironmentProduceRevolutionLimitsGainsCrisisBillsDuesAccidentsFasterOutcomesGlobal WarmingLogicalOur WorldExploitationShort TermGreenhousesWorld ViewIndustrial RevolutionForces Of Nature Author:Jeremy Rifkin
“A revolution is bloody, but America is in a unique position. She's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. The Russian revolution was bloody, Chinese revolution was bloody, French revolution was bloody, Cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the American Revolution. But today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. All she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything.” MenGivingCountryTodayAmericaBlackPositionRevolutionInvolvedUniqueDuesChineseBloodyAmerican RevolutionCubanBloodshedFrench RevolutionRussian RevolutionCuban RevolutionChinese Revolution Author:Malcolm X
“Hence I feel no shame in asserting that this whole region engirdled by the moon, and the center of the earth, traverse this grand circle amid the rest of the planets in an annual revolution around the sun. Near the sun is the center of the universe. Moreover, since the sun remains stationary, whatever appears as a motion of the sun is really due rather to the motion of the earth.” FeelsWholeEarthUniverseSunPlanetsRevolutionMoonShameRemainsDuesCirclesRegionsAnnualsCenter Of The UniverseStationaryTraverse Book:Nicholas Copernicus on the revolutions Source: Nicholas Copernicus on the revolutions
“The techno-industrial system is exceptionally tough due to its so-called "democratic" structure and its resulting flexibility. Because dictatorial systems tend to be rigid, social tensions and resistance can be built up in them to the point where they damage and weaken the system and may lead to revolution. But in a "democratic" system, when social tension and resistance build up dangerously the system backs off enough, it compromises enough, to bring the tensions down to a safe level.” MayEnoughSocialLevelsRevolutionSafeToughBuiltStructureDemocraticDuesResistanceCompromiseDamageTensionFlexibilityTechno Author:Theodore Kaczynski
“The hypothesis of molecular vortices is defined to be that which assumes - that each atom of matter consists of a nucleus or central point enveloped by an elastic atmosphere, which is retained in its position by attractive forces, and that the elasticity due to heat arises from the centrifugal force of those atmospheres revolving or oscillating about their nuclei or central points.According to this hypothesis, quantity of heat is the vis viva of the molecular revolutions or oscillations.” MatterForcePositionRevolutionAssumingDuesAriseDefinedAtmosphereAttractiveHeatAtomsQuantityHypothesisNucleusRevolvingElasticityOscillationViva Book:Miscellaneous Scientific Papers Source: Miscellaneous Scientific Papers
“Fashion is not just about trends. It's about political history.

“I do think that our culture or our psyche as a country I guess, the world or whatever, we're due for a huge event. We're due for a little bit of a revolution or a spotlight or a movement. Something that feels large, something that feels like the 60s. Some sort of unification.” ThinkingWorldFeelsLittlesCountryCultureBitsEventsMovementHugeRevolutionLittle BitDuesSpotlightUnification Author:Justin Vernon
