A Gentle Corrective for the Epidemic of Identity Politics Turning Us on Each Other and on Ourselves – Brain Pickings

Quote

“We have somehow found ourselves in an era where even the brightest, kindest, most idealistic people spring to judgment — which is nothing other than negative wonder — in a heart-flinch. Questions invite instant opinions more often than they invite conversation and contemplation.”

Curious changes take place in your brain when you move to Cape Town

Quote

Curious changes take place in your brain when you move to Cape Town. You get up in the morning, scurry out to make your fortune, and come face-to-face with an awesome sight – the sea, a storm, clouds streaming over mountain crags – that reminds you of your utter insignificance in the grand scheme of things.

The goal of the future is total unemployment, so we can play. That’s why we have to destroy the present politico-economic system.

That sounds like work

Quote

That sounds like work and work is not allowed. Playing is the only concern you are allowed to have around here.

Chaos

Quote


– All this riot and uproar, V … is this anarchy?
Is this the land of do-as-you-please?
– No. This is only the land of take-what-you-want.
Anarchy means “without leaders”; not “without order.”
With. Anarchy comes an age of ordnung, of true order, which is to say voluntary order.
This age of ordnung will begin when the mad and incoherent cycle of verwirrung (…) has run its course.
This is not anarchy, Eve.
This is chaos.
