"Books about "THE human consciousness" and how it is different from animals’ are always a bit sus BUT that one was referred to by some anthropologists I like to read (one 90s situated person and David Graeber) so I give it a go." Apr 12, 2023 08:02AM

Kathrin Passig
“Wenn irgendein Gegenstand zur Gottheit des Techniktagebuchs erhoben und etwa jede halbe Stunde angebetet werden müsste, weil er uns den unendlichen Kreislauf von Problem und Lösung, Problem und Lösung im Universum vor Augen führt, dann ist es der Uhrenbeweger für selbstaufziehende Uhren.”
Kathrin Passig

“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”
Rutger Hauer, All Those Moments: Stories of Heroes, Villains, Replicants, and Blade Runners

James Baldwin
“Do I really want to be integrated into a burning house?”
James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

Angela Y. Davis
“Any critical engagement with racism requires us to understand the tyranny of the universal. For most of our history, the very category "human" has not embraced Black people and people of color. Its abstractness has been colored white and gendered male...If indeed all lives mattered, we would not need to emphatically proclaim Black Lives Matter.”
Angela Davis

Ursula K. Le Guin
“To oppose something is to maintain it… To be sure, if you turn your back on [something] and walk away from it, you are still on the [same] road. To oppose vulgarity is inevitably to be vulgar. You must go somewhere else; you must have another goal; then you walk a different road.”
Ursula K. LeGuin
