“It is dangerous for a man to try teaching before he is trained in the good life. A man whose house is about to fall down may invite travellers inside to refresh them, but instead they will be hurt in the collapse of the house.

Their mouth invites to salvation, their way of life leads to ruin.”

“When seen through the lens of technology, few resources are truly scarce; they’re mainly inaccessible.”
