Matt Ridley
“simplicity piled upon simplicity creates complexity.”
Matt Ridley, Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“Some of us would take our time, if we knew that we are rushing to our deaths.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“I propose that if you want a simple step to a higher form of life, as distant from the animal as you can get, then you may have to denarrate, that is, shut down the television set, minimize time spent reading newspapers, ignore the blogs. Train your reasoning abilities to control your decisions; nudge System 1 (the heuristic or experiential system) out of the important ones. Train yourself to spot the difference between the sensational and the empirical. This insulation from the toxicity of the world will have an additional benefit: it will improve your well-being.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

Susan Meiselas
“The camera is an excuse to be someplace you otherwise don’t belong. It gives me both a point of connection and a point of separation.”
Susan Meiselas

George Carlin
“Life is a zero sum game.”
George Carlin
