Titus Gebel
“When looting becomes a way of life for a group in society, over time it creates a legal system that legalizes it and a moral code that glorifies it. Claude-Frédéric Bastiat,
Economist and Politician”
Titus Gebel, Free Private Cities: Making Governments Compete For You

Blake Crouch
“Life with a cheat code isn't life. Our existence isn't something to be engineered or optimized for the avoidance of pain. That's what it is to be human - the beauty and the pain, each meaningless without the other.”
Blake Crouch, Recursion

Teal Swan
“Without a healthy emotional life, a relationship is not a relationship; it is a social arrangement where no intimacy or connection exists.”
Teal Swan, The Completion Process: The Practice of Putting Yourself Back Together Again

“I was made for the library, not the classroom. The classroom was a jail of other people’s interests. The library was open, unending, free.” —Ta-Nehisi Coates”
Kerry McDonald, Unschooled: Raising Curious, Well-Educated Children Outside the Conventional Classroom
