Maggie Shipstead
“You push on men and eventually you get to the bedrock of it all, which is that they think they're better than us. And they're the ones who made this war. I've been thinking about that. We get angry and nothing happens. Men get angry, and the whole world burns up. Then when we want to do our part, they're always trying to keep us out of danger. Because heaven forbid we should be allowed to decide for ourselves. Their worst fear is that one day we'll end up owning our lives same as they do.”
Maggie Shipstead, Great Circle

“No one on this Earth would pay five cents to see my talents if I didn't look the way I do.”

Bill  Gates
“It is unfortunate that in some places, especially in the United States, people have resisted making choices that will keep them and their families safer. I don’t agree with these choices, but I also think it’s unhelpful to simply label them “anti-science,” as so many people do.

In her book On Immunity, Eula Biss looks at vaccine hesitancy in a way that I think also helps explain the resentment we’re seeing toward other public health measures. The distrust of science is just one factor, she says, and it is compounded by other things that trigger fear and suspicion: pharmaceutical companies, big government, elites, the medical establishment, male authority. For some people, invisible benefits that might materialize in the future are not enough to get them past the worry that someone is trying to pull the wool over their eyes. The problem is even worse in periods of severe political polarization, such as the one we’re in now.”
Bill Gates, How to Prevent the Next Pandemic

Amanda Montell
“With the right amount of judicious questioning, taking care never to abandon your logical thoughts or emotional instincts (which are there for a reason), one can ensure they stay connected to themselves through anything from an isolated commune to an oppressive start-up job to a scammy Instagram guru. Above all”
Amanda Montell, Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism

Maggie Shipstead
“We are confined to the present, but this moment we're living now has, for all of history, been the future. And now, forever more, it will be past.”
Maggie Shipstead, Great Circle
