"Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future."

- David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas (via occupyjesus)

"Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t think the primary purpose of your life, of my life, or the entirety of the human race is just to blindly consume to support a failing economy and a faulty system forever and ever until we run out of every resource and have to resort to blowing each other up to ensure our own survival. I don’t think we’re supposed to sit by, idle, whilst we continue to use a long-outdated system that produces war, poverty, collusion, corruption, ruins our environment, and threatens every aspect of our health, and does nothing but divide and segregate us. I don’t think how much military equipment we’re sending to other countries, how many hydrocarbons we’re burning, how much money is being printed and exchanged is a good measure of how healthy our society is. But I do think I can speak for everyone when I say: we’re sick of this shit."

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
