“While gathering here… while we are having intellectual conversations, an epic battle for the future has already begun. The victors of this battle will control the future of human civilization. This is not a World War. It is more than that—for the victors will decide what it means to be human and how we will live together. This is not hyperbole. It is our reality. And in this battle, no one will have the option of sitting on the sidelines. This battle will not be fought with guns or missiles. It will be fought in the hearts and minds of every human being on this planet. And there will be no conscientious objectors. We are all enlisted, whether we like it or not, in a war for the future—and the stakes are nothing less than the survival of our species.”

“Promising to unify us and democratize information, the Internet has instead become a weaponized divider and a power tool for propagandists. People who have hundreds of friends on social media report that they have fewer real friends. And they are having difficulty finding mates. In every developed nation, people now marry later or do not marry at all. Most concerning—a record number of suicides and overdose deaths tell the same story—that millions of people feel the future is not a desirable place to be. And billions who choose to stay in this world seek escape via a life lived in the safe virtual worlds of video games and A.I. chatbots.”

“There is a six-forked path ahead of us. Each path represents a possible future and a major paradigm shift for humanity. But we must act now. In 1924, Winston Churchill said, ‘The prevention of the supreme catastrophe ought to be the paramount object of all endeavor.’ History shows us what happens when we avoid, appease, and procrastinate while the seeds of that epic catastrophe grow stronger by the day.”

“In a world that sees two meter sea level rise, with continued flooding ahead, it will take extraordinary effort for the United States, or indeed any country, to look beyond its own salvation. All of the ways in which human beings have dealt with natural disasters in the past . . . could come together in one conflagration: rage at government’s inability to deal with the abrupt and unpredictable crises; religious fervor, perhaps even a dramatic rise in millennial end-of-days cults; hostility and violence toward migrants and minority groups, at a time of demographic change and increased global migration; and intra- and interstate conflict over resources, particularly food and fresh water.”

“Truth is hard to sell; it gives no sense of purpose. It is simply truth.”
― Wizard's First Rule

“Being afraid something is true is accepting the possibility. Accepting the possibility is the first step to believing. At least you are smart enough to question. Think of how easy it is to believe, for people who don't question, who don't even know how to question. For most people, it's not the truth that is important, it's the cause. Rahl is intelligent; he has given them a cause.”
― Wizard's First Rule
― Wizard's First Rule
“People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.”

“Because, Richard, many people must be ruled to thrive. In their selfishness and greed, they see free people as their oppressors. They wish to have a leader who will cut the taller plants so the sun will reach them. They think no plant should be allowed to grow taller than the shortest, and in that way give light to all. They would rather”
