“I'll stand by my usual tactics here and say that it doesn't matter whether this sort of pantheism, or any sort of pantheism, is "true." What matters is the way any given mythology prompts us to interact with the world we're part of—the world each of our actions helps to make and unmake. And frankly, some mythologies prompt us to act better than others.”
Mary-Jane Rubenstein, Astrotopia: The Dangerous Religion of the Corporate Space Race

Roland Barthes
“But if one fears or despises so much the philosophical foundations of a book, and if one demands so insistently the right to understand nothing about them and to say nothing on the subject, why become a critic?”
Roland Barthes, Mythologies
