“Even the most assiduous of parents cannot fully protect their children, even if they lock them in the basement, safely away from drugs, alcohol and internet porn. In that extreme case, the too-cautious, too-caring parent merely substitutes him or herself for the other terrible problems of life. This is the great Freudian Oedipal nightmare.
It is far better to render beings in your care competent than to protect them.”

“Memory is not a description of the objective past. Memory is a tool. Memory is the past's guide to the future. If you remember that something bad happened, and you can figure out why, then you can try to avoid that bad thing happening again. That's the purpose of memory. It's not "to remember the past". It's to stop the same damn thing form happening over and over.”

“Eläessään ihmisen on ilmaistava itseään sinä yksilönä, joka hän on. Kun ihminen on kuollut, on terveellisintä sekoittaa luut ja nikamat ja yhtyä geenimassaan. Alas joukkohautaan! Useimmat ihmiset ovat kuitenkin käsittäneet asian päinvastoin! Eläessään he sekoittuivat massaan, ja myöhemmin, kun heidän piti kuolla, he olivat niin innokkaita saamaan oman hautapaikkansa, oman uurnansa. Monet pelkäsivät kuollakseen, että heidän ruumiinsa sekoittuisi jonkun toisen ruumiiseen! Eläessään he yrittivät olla kaikkien muiden kaltaisia!”

“First, if you want reliable information - pay good money for it. Suppose a shady billionaire offered you the following deal: "I will pay you $30 a month, and in exchange, you will allow me to brainwash you for an hour every day, installing in your mind whichever political and commercial biases I want." Would you take the deal? Few sane people would. So the shady billionaire offers a slightly different deal: "You will allow me to brainwash you for one hour every day, and in exchange, I will not charge you anything for this service." Now the deal suddenly sounds tempting to hundreds of millions of people. Don't follow their example.”
