Thoughts

If it is the nature of time and space to be curved, it
follows that infinity, as a function of time and space,
must also be curved. Based on this premise, a
hypothetical conclusion may be drawn that the nature
of infinity must be circular or elliptical. Therefore,
any point or event on the infinity circle must recur
again precisely as it has occurred before.

The affairs of the world are run by lawyers and
politicians, people skilled in semantics, not in
philosophical thinking, planning and logic. Their
mode of operation predisposes them to externalisms,
resulting in most of our difficulties.

A society which concerns itself a great deal with the
public discussion of sex and pornography has usually
hidden problems in its bedchambers.

We cannot blame our leaders for their immorality.
They are only reflecting the shortcomings of the
people who put them there.

Our programs of specialization are creating 'learned
ignoramuses' who know more and more about less
and less.

The level of our dialogue will not rise unless we
buckle down and bring some Renaissance men
into this world.

In a world where big fish eat little fish there can be
neither justice nor morality.

The creative spirit is the leper of our conformist
society.

The neurotic tries to cope with a seemingly impossible
reality, while the psychotic has given up. In a way it
can be said that the unreality of psychosis protects
the organism, tensed beyond the limits of endurance,
from biological damage to vital organic functions.

Welfare and television are the bread and circuses,
which keep the poor masses of our society quiet.
By the way Rome tried it - it didn't work.

Colleges are becoming dipolma mills. The level
of development for the incompetent rises - the
level of development for the competent falls.
Thus, we lose our technological advantage.

Faces in the subway during the morning rush hour
- bland despair with a dash of indifference mixed
with apprehension

Today's sanity is unhealthy.

My idea of happiness - hearing the news that all
politicians are now working for the sanitation
department.
