We live in our myths, we only endure reality.

I regard morality and ideology as the chief cause of human misery.

If the oncoming mutation to interstellar immortality is screwed up by the politicians, it will be because those of us who see the opportunities in modern science are not adroit enough to outmaneuver the forces of inertia, stupidity and greed. Well, if we're not intelligent enough to overcome such obstacles, then we don't deserve to carry off the mutation at this stage of evolution.

Most people live in a myth and grow violently angry if anyone dares to tell them the truth about themselves.

The only way to stave off boredom, in a complex domesticated primate like humankind, is to increase one's intelligence. This is not appealing to the average primate, who instead invents emotional games (soap opera and grand opera dramatics).

The rapists of the intellectual world become politicians; the seducers become artists.

The longer one is alone, the easier it is to hear the song of the earth.
