“For all their devoted attention, your atoms don't actually care about you - indeed, don't even know that you are there”
Bill Bryson, A Short History of Nearly Everything

“Narada Muni says - Whether you consider the human to be an eternal jivatma or a temporary body, or even if you accept an indescribable opinion that he is both eternal and temporary, you do not have to lament in any way. There is no cause for lamentation other than the affection which has arisen out of delusion. (1.13.44)”
Srimad Bhagavatam

“There's no such thing as neutral education. Education either functions as an instrument to bring about conformity or freedom.”
Richard Shaull, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

Neil Postman
“One way of looking at the history of the human group is that it has been a continuing struggle against the veneration of “crap.”
Neil Postman, Teaching As a Subversive Activity: A No-Holds-Barred Assault on Outdated Teaching Methods-with Dramatic and Practical Proposals on How Education Can Be Made Relevant to Today's World

“We cannot afford to ignore Norbert Wiener's observation of a paradox that results from our increasing technological capability in electronic communication: as the number of messages increases, the amount of information carried decreases. We have more media to communicate fewer significant ideas.”
Neil Postman And Charles Weingartner, Teaching as a Subversive Activity
