Denzel Washington | Anything you practice you’ll get good at — including BS

in

“If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you do read it, you’re misinformed […] One of the effects is the need to be first, not even to be true anymore. So what a responsibility you all have; to tell the truth, not to just be first, but to tell the truth. We live in a society now where it’s just first. Who cares? Get it out there. We don’t care who it hurts, we don’t care who we destroy, we don’t care if it’s true. Just say it,…

Jesús Huerta de Soto | We are unable to even conceive of the immeasurable achievements, progress

in

“We are unable to even conceive of the immeasurable achievements, progress, and discoveries of mankind that would be attainable in an entrepreneurial environment freed from all etatism.

Murray Rothbard | Taxation is nothing but organized theft

Gerry Langdon | The organizing principle of any society is for war

in

“The organizing principle of any society is for war. The basic authority of the modern state over its people resides in its war powers. Today it’s oil, tomorrow, water.

Gore Vidal | The corporate grip on opinion

in

„The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western world. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity – much less dissent. „Of course, it is possible for any citizen with time to spare, and a canny eye, to work out what is actually going on, but for the many there is not time, and the network news is the only news even though it may not be news at all but only a…

Karl Jaspers | To be scientific, that is to know what one knows and what one does not know

in

“To be scientific, that is to know what one knows and what one does not know; unscientific is dogmatic knowledge. To be scientific is to know with reasons; to accept ready-made opinions is unscientific. Scientific is the knowledge with the consciousness of the respectively determined limits of the knowledge; unscientific is all total knowledge, as if one knew in the whole. Scientific is boundless criticism and self-criticism, the advancing questioning; unscientific is the concern that doubt could paralyze. Scientific is the methodical course, which step by step on the ground…
