WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/zinn-howard/35668/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from Zinn</a><blockquote>   An optimist isn’t necessarily a blithe, slightly sappy whistler in the dark of our time. To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacriﬁce, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places — and there are so many — where people have behaved magniﬁcently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.    And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an inﬁnite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in deﬁance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.</blockquote>Howard Zinn (1922-2010) American historian, academic, author, social activist Essay (2004-09-02), “The Optimism of Uncertainty,” The Nation Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/zinn-howard/35668/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/zinn-howard/35668/</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=action" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#action</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=badpeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#badpeople</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=endeavor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#endeavor</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=future" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#future</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=goodandevil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goodandevil</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=goodpeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goodpeople</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=hope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hope</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=humancondition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humancondition</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=humanrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humanrights</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=humanity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humanity</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=inaction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inaction</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=inspiration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inspiration</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=meme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meme</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=optimism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#optimism</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=pessimism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pessimism</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=present" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#present</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=struggle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#struggle</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=success" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#success</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=utopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#utopia</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=victory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#victory</a>

Jay ByteFrom my old saved texts on PC: """ 7chan /b/ 17/10/16 15:11 Hi, anon! Someone sent me this palabre over e-mail. He presented himself as Pete Anderson. I tried to search for authors of this name, but I have not found anything. I'm interested in, which existing philosophy does the text resemble. Here's his e-mail: "Hi, Mark! I am Pete Anderson. Hope, you're doing well! I was delving into transcriptions of old Hittite and Luwian texts. And I found this text of unknown origin, it was located in the same batch as the transcription of Illuyanka: "four creatures, 5100 BCE, During my walk on the lake, I was talking with an imaginable creature. Which appears to be an angel. I talked with him about what is the difference between free and slave person. He offered me to imagine a bottle and a landscape. Bottle uses its water for different actions. We went through different stages of differences: 1) "Free" bottle moves. "Slave" bottle does not move. 2) "Free" bottle moves in different directions. "Slave" bottle moves in one direction. 3) "Free" bottle moves, builds new walls and crashes existing walls. "Slave" bottle only moves. 4) "Free" bottle moves, builds, crashes and makes building and crashing more efficient. "Slave" bottle moves, builds new walls with only a clay and crashes walls with only a stone stick. 5) "Free" bottle moves, builds, crashes, optimizes, records and reuses information on his clay with stone stick. "Slave" bottle only moves, builds, crashes and tries to find "best" solution. 6) "Free" bottle moves, builds, crashes, optimizes, records, reuses information and uses walls for recording. "Slave" bottle doesn't see walls as recording mean. 7) "Free" bottle learns from past sucked bottle. "Slave" bottle starts from scratch every time. 8) "Free" bottle knows: its capacity is limited for water, and it grows something different for extra capacity. "Slave" bottle only recharges water. 9) "Free" bottle is focused on life. "Slave" bottle is focused on easy-to-follow frames or comfort zone. 10) "Free" bottle rests. "Slave" bottle is busy every time. So this is how I can determine difference between the "free" and the "slave". Then I asked The Angel about what's the difference between the "good" and the "evil". If they can do the same things in different contexts. The Angel said me something like: - The Good is free and harmonic. The evil destroys itself and tries to survive at the same time. - But isn't the evil harmonic if it can keep the same level of life with different means? - Harmony is eternal. It is about finding a balance between your qualia and surroundings. Self-destruction with survival is not eternal. It's limiting. Harmony and limiting are different things. - How does harmony come in pair with freedom if harmony also poses constraints? - You can live healthy and peaceful life with unlimited journey and creation. And you don't need to have more power or money, than you need to achieve for this. This is what about this dichotomy. - So The Good lives life and creates value for themselves and then for others? And the evil is limited in beliefs so it tries to limit others to survive? So others can also be drained into the same game? - Yes. You are right. - Isn't utilizing resources of Nature a destruction for survival? - No. - Why? - They can be utilized for growth. Like child grows in size to adult person. And a single hut which looked like a palace, starts to look like a cage. - So The Good grows until free harmonic eternity is achieved? And the evil deludes itself by false beliefs into eternity of their limited image? - Yes. - But other conscious beings can also be utilized as resources. - Then they're not conscious beings. They're fully controlled items like minerals or cattle. Conscious beings brings the Harmony and the Freedom. - So The Good works on par with other conscious beings to grow? And the evil tries to destroy conscious beings to extract resources for its survival? - Yes. - Can the evil be a shadow of The Good? And this shadow deludes itself, that it's worth the same and even greater than The Good? - Yes. You're right. - I understand you. Why the evil exists then? - It exists to understand The Good. The Good learns All The Life. To achieve The Harmony and The Freedom. While the evil portrays All The World as a perfect sphere, which can be easily predicted and controlled. - I understand you. Then I walked out of the forest back to the home. The Angel said: - We are walking through the people. I keep you. So that you look easy while dreaming. Today you have a rest and dreaming mind because you underslept. That's ok. Later you will sleep well and be in more hurry for your path.""

Jan ThieI'm not saying he's wrong but, to paraphrase PG Wodehouse, it is never difficult to distinguish between Friedrich Nietzsche in aphorism mode and a ray of sunshine:"Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil."<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Nietzsche" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nietzsche</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PGWodehouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PGWodehouse</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Love" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Love</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GoodAndEvil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoodAndEvil</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Quotes</a>
