“You asked, what do I fear? I fear a man who believes in good. For he can excuse any evil.”
― Pierce Brown, Dark Age

“Is a man a coward if he realizes that bravery is just a myth the old tell the young so they line up for the meatgrinder?”
― Pierce Brown, Dark Age

“That is the problem with ignorance. You can never truly know the extent of what you are ignorant about.”

“It’s not that I’m not social. I’m social enough. But the tools you guys create actually manufacture unnaturally extreme social needs. No one needs the level of contact you’re purveying. It improves nothing. It’s not nourishing. It’s like snack food. You know how they engineer this food? They scientifically determine precisely how much salt and fat they need to include to keep you eating. You’re not hungry, you don’t need the food, it does nothing for you, but you keep eating these empty calories. This is what you’re pushing. Same thing. Endless empty calories, but the digital-social equivalent. And you calibrate it so it’s equally addictive.”
― Dave Eggers, The Circle
