You need to read more science fiction. Nobody who reads science fiction comes out with this crap about the end of history

Truth, I have learned, differs for everybody. Just as no two people ever see a rainbow in exactly the same place - and yet both most certainly see it, while the person seemingly standing right underneath it does not see it at all - so truth is a question of where one stands, and the direction one is looking in at the time.

There's an old Sysan saying that the soup of life is salty enough without adding tears to it.

Most mainstream male fiction is littered with heroines, and female characters are basically so great, you want to fall in love with them.

I just think people overvalue argument because they like to hear themselves talk.
