Mark    O'Connell
“I’d begun to think of the Immortality Bus as the Entropy Bus, and of ourselves as trundling across Texas in a great mobile metaphor for the inevitable decline of all things, the disintegration of all systems over time.”
― Mark O'Connell, To Be a Machine : Adventures Among Cyborgs, Utopians, Hackers, and the Futurists Solving the Modest Problem of Death

“The logic of liberalism is hatred of the social centre—liberalism is essentially a novelty-seeking formula that forever replaces the centre with the margin. The king is the centre of society. But because we hate the centre, we have to replace him with something slightly more marginal—the aristocracy becomes the new centre. But because we hate the centre, we have to replace the aristocracy with something slightly more marginal—the bourgeoisie becomes the new centre. This process of hollowing out the centre continues until foreigners, minorities, and deviants are at the centre, as in wokeness. Eventually even that is too familiar, and we have to replace the human altogether —we have arrived at transhumanism. Liberalism is a fundamentally entropic force, hence its obsession with change and negative values (freedom, openness, tolerance, inclusion, diversity, etc.) It breaks down borders, whether political or conceptual.”
― Mike Maxwell, The Cultured Thug Handbook: A Guide to Radical Right-Wing Thought
