The planet is full and we will be rubbing shoulders forever. There is nowhere else to go.

We are already and will remain all in the same boat.

People do not choose a government that will bring the market within their control; instead, the market in every way conditions governments to bring the people within its control.

The inequality between the world's individuals is staggering.

With my tongue in one cheek only, I'd suggest that were our palaeolithic ancestors to discover the peer-review dredger, we would be still sitting in caves.

We already have plenty of fundamentalism and fundamental sects like for instance Rabbi Schneerson and Chabad Lubavitch. They feel more secure because they are in the warm, caring/sharing community. This is the difference between community (Gemeinschaft) and what Ferdinand Tönnies called Gesellschaft: a kind of setting in which you have no rights to do anything unless you pay for it, and no right to get anything unless you prove that you are 'credit worthy'. In a Gemeinschaft, however, you have a place at the table guaranteed whatever happens.

You cannot have a cake and eat it too. Either you eat it, or you have it.
