On a personal level I’m saying I understand that it’s really really difficult to let someone else think, act, and believe things that are fundamentally opposite from ourselves. It can be maddening because it shines a light right back onto what we believe, highlighting it, pointing out that if I admit that someone else isn’t exactly wrong… why do I believe that I am exactly right? It calls into question why we are how we are, why we do what we do, and why we believe what we believe. On a broad scale that level of introspection takes a lifetime of courage to question what we think we know, years of dissecting our motivations and logical flaws, diverging from our peers, and confronting that we’re really out here in the woods at night with no safe intellectual place to lazily lay down. And to go through life like that… acknowledging that you can’t know anything except for yourself… well, its very difficult and there aren’t a lot of reasons to do so. Though ‘do the least harm possible’ I think is a good place to start.

My key stroke and your key stroke were sitting by the fire, my key stroke says to your key stroke, we’re gunna set this world on fire.

The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money.

The real measure of a man is how he treats someone that can do absolutely nothing for him.

There is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with ‘a money touch,’ but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers:” – Theodore Roosevelt
