Apparently they refuse this wonderful privilege because it is so easily acquired.”
― Étienne de La Boétie, The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude

“There is a certain hubris to science, a belief that the more we develop technology and the more we learn, the better our lives will be.”
