Why every order should be questioned

I suggest reading this post to the end, then watching the videos and reading the links. -DM


“Think for yourself, question authority.”

These words are more than an anti-authoritarian exhortation from Timothy Leary and part of an excellent TOOL song. It’s a way of interacting with the world that helps guard against charlatans and others who would seek to manipulate you. Lately I’ve noticed more an

“Oh, what do you know?" LaMont spat. "You're just an ivory-tower philosopher geek. I live in the real world. The fuck-or-be-fucked world." Stabbing his finger at the two men, he said, "If you're not taking advantage of someone then someone is taking advantage of you, or at the very least you've not maximized efficiency. The world needs people like me, otherwise there would be no competition.”
Dan Marshall, The Lightcap

“Sure, the Lightcap makes you a little docile, more open to guidance. Who says that's a bad thing? Look at those people out there. They don't want choice, they want convenience. To be a part of something, to feel as if they have some kind of say. The poor bastards out there who work four jobs--you think they care about the shit going on up here? It's not even on their radar. They're too busy making sure they don't lose their jobs, because then they'd lose their house, and then they'd disappear. Gotta keep up appearances to live in a Corp Region!”
Dan Marshall, The Lightcap

“Election night had turned into an occasion to celebrate or to drown sorrows. Regardless of the outcome, there was an excuse to party, to drink, and to curse the other side, that terrible separate half of society who were too stupid to see things the 'right' way. It seemed odd to Adam that most elections were evenly split. Forty percent of the votes were usually for the most pro-business candidate, who somehow convinced another ten percent or so of the voting public to go along with him or her, either through a barrage of false ads or by paying the media for positive coverage.”
Dan Marshall, The Lightcap

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.”
George Orwell, 1984

“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”
Carl Sagan

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
Albert Einstein

“Logic will get you from A to Z; imagination will get you everywhere.”
Albert Einstein

“To feed your Muse, then, you should always have been hungry about life since you were a child. If not, it is a little late to start.”
Ray Bradbury
