“A Cultist is one who has a strong belief in the Bible and the Second Coming of Christ; who frequently attends Bible studies; who has a high level of financial giving to a Christian cause; who home schools his children; who has accumulated survival foods and has a strong belief in the 2nd Amendment, and who distrusts Big Government.” GivingChildrenHomeBigsGovernmentSchoolChristianBeliefStrongCausesChristLevelsStudySurvivalFinancialJewAmendmentsDistrustBible StudyHigh LevelBig GovernmentBelief In The Bible Author:Janet Reno
“So the horns of the stag are sharp to offend his adversary, but are branched for the purpose of parrying or receiving the thrusts of horns similar to his own, and have therefore been formed for the purpose of combating other stags for the exclusive possession of the females; who are observed, like the ladies in the times of chivalry, to attend to the car of the victor. The final cause of this contest amongst the males seems to be, that the strongest and most active animal should propagate the species, which should thence become improved.” ShouldSeemsPurposeCausesAnimalCarSurvivalFemaleSpeciesMalesFinalsPossessionActiveStrongestReceivingContestsExclusiveHornsAdversariesThrustChivalryStags Author:Erasmus Darwin

“The people who survive avoid snowball scenarios in which bad trades cause them to become emotionally destabilized and make more bad trades. They are also able to feel the pain of losing. If you don't feel the pain of a loss, then you're in the same position as those unfortunate people who have no pain sensors. If they leave their hand on a hot stove, it will burn off. There is no way to survive in the world without pain. Similarly, in the markets, if the losses don't hurt, your financial survival is tenuous.” PeopleIfsWorldWayFeelsHandsAblePainCausesHurtLossPositionSurvivalLosingHotTradeFinancialUnfortunateScenariosNo PainStovesWithout PainSnowballSensors Author:William Eckhardt
“The human brain became large by natural selection (who knows why, but presumably for good cause).

“it will be objected that a constantly increasing population makes resistance and conservation a hopeless battle. this is true. unless a way is found to stabilize the nation's population, the parks can not be saved. or anything else worth a damn. wilderness preservation, like a hundred other good causes, will be forgotten under the overwhelming pressure of a struggle for mere survival and sanity in a completely urbanized, completely industrialized, ever more crowded environment. for my own part i would rather take my chances in a thermonuclear war than live in such a world.” WorldWayWarFoundNationsCausesChanceMy OwnStruggleEnvironmentBattleSurvivalHundredPressureMereForgottenPopulationSavedResistanceDamnParksWildernessHopelessOverwhelmingSanityConservationCan NotPreservationCrowdedNuclear WarGood Causes Book:Desert Solitaire Source: Desert Solitaire

“To this day, we see all around us the Promethean drive to omnipotence through technology and to omniscience through science. The effecting of all things possible and the knowledge of all causes are the respective primary imperatives of technology and of science. But the motivating imperative of society continues to be the very different one of its physical and spiritual survival. It is now far less obvious than it was in Francis Bacon's world how to bring the three imperatives into harmony, and how to bring all three together to bear on problems where they superpose.” KnowsWorldDifferentProblemTogetherSpiritualScienceThreeCausesKnowledgeTechnologyBearsSurvivalAll ThingsAccountsHarmonyObviousPrimariesThis DayImperativesOmnipotenceOmniscience Book:The Advancement of Science, and Its Burdens: The Jefferson Lecture and Other Essays Source: The Advancement of Science, and Its Burdens: The Jefferson Lecture and Other Essays
“Difference is that raw and powerful connection from which our personal power is forged... We have been taught to either ignore our differences or to view them as causes for separation and suspicion rather than as forces for change. Without community, there is no liberation, only the most vulnerable and temporary armistice between an individual and her oppression...
