""For example, wide reflective equilibrium would reveal internal tensions and conflicts sustained by our particular American version of democracy-cum-capitalism that is built upon the maintenance of inequalities and injustices perpetrated under the guise of certain conservative conceptions of democratic freedom.""

Peter Singer, The Expanding Circle: Ethics and Sociobiology

“Fiction is empathy technology.”
Steven Pinker

Philip K. Dick
“What you should do," she told Fat during one of his darker hours, "is get into studying the characteristics of the T-34." Fat asked what that was. It turned out that Sherri had read a book on Russion armor during World War Two. The T-34 tank had been the Soviet Union's salvation and thereby the salvation of all the Allied Powers- and, by extension, Horselover Fat's, since without the T-34 he would be speaking - not english or Latin or the koine - but German.”
Philip K. Dick, VALIS

William Shakespeare
“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
William Shakespeare, Macbeth
