the desire for security and the feeling of insecurity are the same thing. To hold your breath is to lose your breath. - Alan Watts

"The basic assumption of unionism was not the dignity but the drudgery of labor, and the strategy was, therefore, to do as little as possible for as much pay as possible. Thus, as automation eliminates drudgery, it eliminates the necessity for the unions, a truth that is already extending up to such "high-class" unions as the musicians'. The piper who hates to play is replaced by a tape, which does not object when the payer calls the tune. If, then, the unions are to have any further usefulness, they must use their political pressure, not for a greater share of profits (based on rising prices to pay for rising wages) but for total revision of the concept and function of money."

The religious idea of God cannot do full duty for the metaphysical infinity.

it is really impossible to appreciate what is meant by the Tao without becoming, in a rather special sense, stupid.
