Eliezer Yudkowsky
“There is no justice in the laws of nature, no term for fairness in the equations of motion. The Universe is neither evil, nor good, it simply does not care. The stars don't care, or the Sun, or the sky.

But they don't have to! WE care! There IS light in the world, and it is US!”
Eliezer Yudkowsky, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

Henry George
“Man is the only animal whose desires increase as they are fed; the only animal that is never satisfied.”
Henry George
