Bertrand Russell
“But the difficulty in the Bolshevik philosophy, as in that of America, is that the principle of organisation for them is economic, whereas the groupings that are consonant with human instinct are biological. The family and the nation are biological, the trust and the trade union are economic. The harm that is done at present by biological groupings is undeniable, but I do not think the social problem can be solved by ignoring the instincts which produce those groupings.

[...] The fundamental delusion of our time, in my opinion, is the excessive emphasis upon the economic aspects of life, and I do not expect the strife between Capitalism and Communism as philosophies to cease until it is recognised that both are inadequate through their failure to recognise biological needs.”
Bertrand Russell, Sceptical Essays

“It is so sad that Africans, we only unite to do bad things. To break the law. To loot. To destroy someone's life or to bring others down. We never unite to fight our oppressors. We never unite to bring solutions. We never unite to support each others business and we never unite to eradicate poverty or problems we have in our society.”
De philosopher DJ Kyos

“It is so sad, that poor people are not fighting for solutions , but are fighting the opposition. Every time you try to point them the problem and a solution. They ignore you and chose to ask you on which side are you on . Not knowing that we should be divided to be conquered by the enemy.”
De philosopher DJ Kyos

“We have become a society that incentivizes, compensates, and rewards criminals, wrongful doing or actions, bad behavior and attitude, bad people, immorality, and uncultured and ill-mannered behavior. In the name of humanity (Ubuntu) or poverty. In the name of they are one of our own and they look like us. Then we wonder why the world is like this.”
De philosopher DJ Kyos

“The challenge of life and survival today is that opportunities often come with the requirement to do things you wouldn’t normally do.
If you have strong morals and choose not to do them, someone else will, and they’ll receive everything that was meant for you.
People with high moral standards suffer for their righteousness, not because they lack merit, talent,  are incompetent, unskilled, or incapable, but because they choose integrity over compromise. Society has shifted its standards to the point where being good often leads to suffering, while those who abandon their principles, ethics and morals tend to prosper and live luxurious, lavish lifestyles.”
De philosopher DJ Kyos
