“The man who has successfully solved the problem of his relations with the two worlds of data and symbols is a man who has no beliefs. With regard to the problems of practical life he entertains a series of working hypotheses, which serve his purposes, but are taken no more seriously than any other kind of tool or instrument. In other words, symbols should never be raised to the rank of dogmas, nor should any system be regarded as more than a provisional convenience.” MenWorldShouldKindTwoProblemPurposeBeliefTakenHe ManToolsRelationRegardInstrumentsSeriesRaisedPracticalsSymbolsDataDogmaHypothesisConvenienceTwo WorldsPractical Life Author:Aldous Huxley

Americans are not very satisfied with their lives, and the loss of community is part of that.” PeopleNeedsFirstsRealStatesCommunityLossUnitedUnited StatesVirtueTakenDistancePracticalsInvisibleSatisfiedCurseFuelFossilsFossil FuelTransactions Author:Bill McKibben
