Alexander Shulgin
“A society of free people will always have crime, violence and social disruption. It will never be completely safe. The alternative is a police state. A police state can give you safe streets, but only at the price of your human spirit.”
Alexander Shulgin, Pihkal: A Chemical Love Story

Robert M. Sapolsky
“There’s our nation with its cult of meritocracy that judges your worth by your IQ and your number of degrees. A nation that spews bilge about equal economic potential while, as of 2021, the top 1 percent has 32 percent of the wealth, and the bottom half less than 3 percent, where you can find an advice column headlined “It’s Not Your Fault if You Are Born Poor, but It’s Your Fault if You Die Poor,” which goes on to say that if that was your lamentable outcome, “I’ll say you’re a wasted sperm.”[18”
Robert M. Sapolsky, Determined: A Science of Life without Free Will

Christopher Hitchens
“Beware of identity politics. I'll rephrase that: have nothing to do with identity politics.”
Christopher Hitchens, Letters to a Young Contrarian

Robert M. Sapolsky
“You cannot decide all the sensory stimuli in your environment, your hormone levels this morning, whether something traumatic happened to you in the past, the socioeconomic status of your parents, your fetal environment, your genes, whether your ancestors were farmers or herders. Let me state this most broadly, probably at this point too broadly for most readers: we are nothing more or less than the cumulative biological and environmental luck, over which we had no control, that has brought us to any moment.”
Robert M. Sapolsky, Determined: A Science of Life without Free Will

Steven Levitsky
“The GOP now faced the same “conservative dilemma” that has confronted conservative parties throughout history: How does a party of economic elites appeal to a broader electorate while preserving its main constituencies’ interests, power, and way of life?”
Steven Levitsky, Tyranny of the Minority: Why American Democracy Reached the Breaking Point
