George Orwell | A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing

“At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to state this or that or the other, but it is “not done”… Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the highbrow periodicals.” George Orwell “Zu jedem Zeitpunkt gibt es eine Orthodoxie, eine Reihe von Ideen, von denen man…

Edward Osborne Wilson | We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom

Viktor Emil Frankl | The truth – that love is the ultimate and the highest goal

“A thought transfixed me: for the first time in my life, I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth – that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire.[…] Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he…

Ayn Rand | You can ignore reality, but you cannot ignore the consequences

„Neither life nor happiness can be achieved by the pursuit of irrational whims. Just as man is free to attempt to survive by any random means, as a parasite, a moocher or a looter, but not free to succeed at it beyond the range of the moment—so he is free to seek his happiness in any irrational fraud, any whim, any delusion, any mindless escape from reality, but not free to succeed at it beyond the range of the moment nor to escape the consequences.“ Ayn Rand Sometimes paraphrased as:…

Thomas von Aquin | He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral

“He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice.

Weil der Zorn auf das Wohl der Gerechtigkeit gerichtet ist.

Bill Hicks | a productive member of society

“If you want to understand a society, take a good look at the drugs it uses. And what can this tell you about American culture? Well, look at the drugs we use. Except for pharmaceutical poison, there are essentially only two drugs that Western civilization tolerates: Caffeine from Monday to Friday to energize you enough to make you a productive member of society, and alcohol from Friday to Monday to keep you too stupid to figure out the prison that you are living in.” Bill Hicks “Wenn man eine Gesellschaft…

Erich Fromm | The holders of authority and those who take advantage of it

“The holders of authority and those who take advantage of it must convince people of this fiction and put to sleep their realistic, that is to say, critical, faculty of thought. Every thinking person knows the methods of propaganda, methods by which critical judgment is destroyed and the mind is lulled until it submits to clichés that stultify people because they make them dependent, depriving them of the ability to trust their eyes and their judgment. This function, in which they believe, blinds them to reality.” Erich Fromm “Die Inhaber…

Karl Jaspers | Where is the Federal Republic headed?

“Every four years it elects the Bundestag. The lists or persons submitted to it by the parties are already elected beforehand by the parties. The process of this hidden preliminary election, which is the actual election, is convoluted; the names for the constituency lists and the state lists are not drawn up in the same way. But it is always the party committees, never the people, who would be involved in this decisive beginning. One must be a party member in order to participate somewhere in this election and to…

Dieter Hallervorden | ‘gendern’ is absurd and rather supervised speech

“The German language as a cultural asset belongs to all of us. No one has a right to tamper with it. I wonder how a politically motivated minority comes to want to dictate to a majority how we want to express ourselves in the future. This unspeakable ,’gendern’ is absurd and rather supervised speech.” Dieter Hallervorden | Der Kabarettist “Die deutsche Sprache als Kulturgut gehört uns allen. Keiner hat ein Recht, darin herumzupfuschen. Ich frage mich, wie eine politisch motivierte Minderheit dazu kommt, einer Mehrheit vorschreiben zu wollen, wie wir…

Elon Musk | you can tell it’s real because it looks so fake

“I think it looks so ridiculous and impossible, you can tell it’s real because it looks so fake, honestly. We’d have way better CGI if it was fake. The colors all look kind of weird in space. There’s no atmospheric occlusion; everything’s too crisp. It’s just literally a normal car in space — I kind of like the absurdity of that, it’s kind of silly and fun, but I think that silly, fun things are important … I think the imagery of it is something that’s going to get people…

Caitlin Johnstone | The empire still fears the public

“The empire still fears the public. If it didn’t it wouldn’t bother rolling out so much propaganda ahead of all its depraved actions—it would just act.

Wenn es das nicht täte, würde es sich nicht die Mühe machen, so viel Propaganda im Vorfeld all seiner verderblichen Aktionen zu verbreiten – es würde einfach…

Hermann Hesse | I have been and still am a seeker

“I do not consider myself less ignorant than most people. I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books. I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me. My story is not a pleasant one; it is neither sweet nor harmonious, as invented stories are; it has the taste of nonsense and chaos, of madness and dreams — like the lives of all men who stop deceiving themselves.” Hermann Karl Hesse, Pseudonym: Emil Sinclair, war ein deutsch-schweizerischer Schriftsteller,…

Woody Harrelson | Of course, we live in a completely corrupted world

“Of course, we live in a completely corrupted world where every government is just a bunch of businessmen working for a bunch of bigger businessmen and none of them give a shit about the people. The sad fact is no one knows how to change it, because no one knows how to take on the corporations. So I guess we’re stuck with this system until the oil runs out.” Woodrow Tracy „Woody“ Harrelson ist ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler “Natürlich leben wir in einer völlig korrupten Welt, in der jede Regierung nur…
