“Think'st thou there are no serpents in the world But those who slide along the grassy sod, And sting the luckless foot that presses them? There are who in the path of social life Do bask their spotted skins in Fortune's sun, And sting the soul.” ThinkingWorldSoulSocialSunPathFeetSkinsPressesFortuneDeceitSlidesSocial LifeSerpentSod Book:The Complete Poetical Works of Joanna Baillie Source: The Complete Poetical Works of Joanna Baillie
“I perceived that I was on a little round grain of rock and metal, filmed with water and with air, whirling in sunlight and darkness. And on the skin of that little grain all the swarms of men, generation by generation, had lived in labour and blindness, with intermittent joy and intermittent lucidity of spirit. And all their history, with its folk-wanderings, its empires, its philosophies, its proud sciences, its social revolutions, its increasing hunger for community, was but a flicker in one day of the lives of the stars.” MenLittlesPhilosophyJoySpiritSocialStarsWaterCommunityDarknessGenerationsAirRocksRevolutionProudOne DaySkinsRoundsHungerFolksWanderEmpiresLabourMetalsGrainSunlightBlindnessLight And DarknessLight And DarkFlickerSwarmsLuciditySocial RevolutionOlafIntermittent Book:To the End of Time Source: To the End of Time
“In an online community, there's this kind of social economy between the community members. Some people have status because they make cool skins or that's a good website that's visited a lot, but there's no real gameplay there.” PeopleKindRealSocialCommunityEconomyMembersSkinsOnlineWebsite Author:Will Wright
“There is, however, a somber point in the social outlook of Americans. Their sense of equality and human dignity is mainly limited to people of white skin....

“The theory that gravitational attraction is inversely proportional to the square of the distance leads by remorseless logic to the conclusion that the path of a planet should be an ellipse .... It is this logical thinking that is the real meat of the physical sciences. The social scientist keeps the skin and throws away the meat.... His theorems no more follow from his postulates than the hunches of a horse player follow logically from the latest racing news. The result is guesswork clad in long flowing robes of gobbledygook.” ThinkingShouldLongRealScienceSocialResultsPathPlayerPlanetsTheoryNewsLogicSkinsScientistHorseDistanceAttractionConclusionMeatLogicalRacingSquaresRobesTheoremsLogical ThinkingHunchesPhysical ScienceRemorselessGuesswork Author:Anthony Standen
“Here's an easy one: "Race is an entirely social construct." No, it's partially one, depending on how any given society seeks to define it and its implications. But there are basic things such as skin color and hair texture. Even a Martian who'd had no exposure to human "social constructs" would be able to spot those differences. But no Martian, as hard as he tried, could point at a "culture" or to "equality." Those are the social constructs. Those can't be measured in the same way as human DNA.” WayHumansHardWould BeAbleCultureGivenSocialEasyDifferencesRaceColorHairSkinsSpotsConstructsDnaExposureImplicationsTextureSkin ColorMartiansBasic Things Author:Jim Goad
“I admire companies that have a purpose, passion, and performance.

“Whether you're acting or you're writing, your skin is just basically ripped off and you're putting yourself out there. At least the acting part comes with a bit more social interaction. And you're a bit less isolated because you are working with the director and the crew, and there's a general camaraderie. Writing, you're totally isolated. You're just trying to get the words on paper.” WritingTryingSocialBitsActingDirectorsPaperSkinsIsolatedInteractionCrewRippedCamaraderieSocial InteractionPutting Yourself Out ThereWords On Paper Author:Tama Janowitz
