Walter Benjamin
“The concept of progress must be grounded in the idea of catastrophe. That things are "status quo" is the catastrophe. It is not an ever-present possibility but
what in each case is given. Thus hell is not
something that awaits us, but this life here and now.”
Walter Benjamin, The Arcades Project

Pankaj Mishra
“They encourage the suspicion – potentially lethal among the hundreds of millions of people condemned to superfluousness – that the present order, democratic or authoritarian, is built upon force and fraud; they incite a broader and more apocalyptic mood than we have witnessed before. They also underscore the need for some truly transformative thinking, about both the self and the world.”
Pankaj Mishra, Age of Anger: A History of the Present

George Friedman
“... common sense is the one thing that will certainly be wrong.”
George Friedman, The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century

Ryan Holiday
“What thrives online is not the writing that reflects anything close to the reality in which you and I live. Nor does it allow for the kind of change that will create the world we wish to live in.”
Ryan Holiday, Trust Me, I'm Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator

Albert Camus
“One grows out of pity when it's useless.”
Albert Camus, The Plague
