Simon Baron-CohenThe word translated, koan, it means a problem. But it's a very special problem. And to strip it down to the way it works, you are given a problem which has no rational solution.

All right, so the first thing is that it brings your rational mind to an impasse.
Huston SmithThe steep ride up the and down the energy curve is the most abnormal thing that has ever happened in human history. Most of human history is a no-growth situation.

Our biggest problem is a cultural problem. We don't know how to cope with it.

Rachel RoyIt's unfortunate we live in a society where "gay" is an insult. To some of these boys, who are from really red states and have families with military history, to be called gay is the worst thing imaginable, and that's used against them. It's really interesting that these are the people drawn into the tickling world. If the people drawn into competitive endurance tickling, even if they were straight, came from liberal, accepting backgrounds, the backlash of calling them gay wouldn't be a problem. But it's a problem because of where these people are from. That's really fascinating to me.

And one person-only one- will involve himself so deeply in the true solution that he is too busy to listen to any of it. Now...which person are you?

J. Paul GettyIf Africa is left behind, she is going to continue pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, especially carbon.

Margaret WalkerIf, for example, each of us had the same share of capital in the national total capital, then if the share of capital goes up it's not a problem, because you get as much as I do.

So then if the share of income from that source goes up, that actually exacerbates inequality.

This cliche is popular for a reason, because most of us, I imagine, believe deep in our hearts that if anyone truly got to know us, they'd truly get to love us - or at least know why we're the way we are. The problem in life, maybe the central problem, is that so few people ever seem to have sufficient curiosity to do the job on us that we know we deserve.
