“We are effectively destroying ourselves by violence masquerading as love. I am a specialist, God help me, in events in inner space and time, in experiences called thoughts, images, reveries, dreams, visions, hallucinations, dreams of memories, memories of dreams, memories of visions, dreams of hallucinations, refractions of refractions of refractions of that original Alpha and Omega of experience and reality, that Reality on whose repression, denial, splitting, projection, falsification, and general desecration and profanation our civilisation as much as anything is based.” HelpingDreamRealityMemoriesSpaceVisionViolenceEventsOriginalsDenialHelp MeDestroyingTime And SpaceProjectionRepressionCivilisationSpecialistsHallucinationsGod HelpReverieAlphasSplittingGod Help MeAlpha And OmegaFalsificationDestroying Ourselves Book:The Politics of Experience Source: The Politics of Experience
“Possibly worst of all, from the standpoint of the dedicated enemies of freedom, the Internet is a world that libertarians - having been marginalized for three decades by the establishment media - have made their own, almost without effort. It's an alternative reality (unlike 'meat-space' we live in) in which - exactly like intelligence, bravery, or virtue - the human capacity for violence is not additive, and in which it's impossible to initiate force against anybody.” WorldHumansMadeRealityThreeForceSpaceEffortEnemyVirtueViolenceImpossibleWorstMediaInternetCapacityBraveryLibertarianDecadesAlternativesMeatDedicatedEstablishmentStandpointInitiateMarginalizedHuman CapacityAdditives Author:L.

“The city is a cultural invention enforcing on the citizen knowledge of his own nature. And this we do not like. That we are aggressive beings, easily given to violence; that we get along together because we must more than because we want to, and that the brotherhood of man is about as far from reality today as it was two thousand years ago; that reason's realm is small; that we never have been and never shall be created equal; that if the human being is perfectible, he has so far exhibited few symptoms - all are considerations of man from which space tends to protect us.” IfsMenWantYearsHumansHas BeensTwoReasonRealityTodayTogetherGivenHuman BeingsSpaceCitiesViolenceCitizensThousandProtectEqualYears AgoInventionRealmsConsiderationAggressiveBrotherhoodThousand YearsSymptomsBrotherhood Of Man Author:Robert Ardrey
“The desire of perfection became the ruling passion of their soul; and it is well known, that while reason embraces a cold mediocrity, our passions hurry us, with rapid violence, over the space which lies between the most opposite extremes.” WellsSoulReasonLyingDesirePassionSpaceKnownViolenceColdPerfectionOppositesEmbraceExtremesMediocrityWell KnownRulingRapidsRuling Passion Book:The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Source: The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
“The idea that speaking at all on the topic, demanding public space in which to have that debate, is itself an act of complicity with violence, and violence against Israelis, understood as synonymous with Jews, and so violence against Jews, clearly stops the speech with an unspeakable allegation.” IdeasSpaceViolenceSpeechUnderstoodJewDebateTopicsUnspeakableComplicityAllegations Author:Judith Butler
“The problem in Syria, I think, is that when there is so much violence, there is not only very little chance to create spaces for liberation, but also all talk is quickly swallowed up by it. People are trying to keep their heads down because they are being bombarded all the time.” PeopleThinkingTryingLittlesProblemChanceSpaceViolenceLiberationSyriaBombarded Author:Nigel Gibson
