"For the last 33 years, I've looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: if today was the last day of my life, would I want to do what I'm going to do today? And whenever the answer was „no“ for too many days, I knew I had to change something." Steve Jobs

Inspirational quote by Wolfram Zeuner about the importance of failure and imagination in scienceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"If we fail to find any of this—even at the highest energies we can reach—then we’ll have to do some serious rethinking and essentially start over from scratch. Which, of course, is exciting in its own way. Science is always exciting: if you don’t find anything, you simply have to come up with something new. Imagination is always the foundation of science." Wolfram Zeuner

Quote by Yuval Noah Harari about truth, power, and societyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"Truth was never the highest priority of human society. It was the highest priority of some individuals, but never of society as a whole — because society as a whole does not function on the basis of truth. If you take two of the most powerful institutions of humankind — science and the scientific community, and religion and churches — neither of them has truth as their chief value. For individuals, yes. But as institutions, no. The chief value of science is power. The chief value of religion is order — organization. Religion is all about maintaining order in society, and science is mainly about gaining power." Yuval Noah Harari

"No one in this world, so far as I know - and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me - has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people." H. L. Mencken

Inspirational quote by Bertrand Russell about truth, love, and toleranceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"I should like to say two things, one intellectual and one moral. The intellectual thing I should want to say is this: When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed. But look only, and solely, at what are the facts. That is the intellectual thing that I should wish to say. The moral thing I should wish to say…I should say love is wise, hatred is foolish. In this world which is getting more closely and closely interconnected we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don't like. We can only live together in that way and if we are to live together and not die together we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet." Bertrand Russell

John Hampden quote about the earth's surface being level and the earth not a globeCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"We know this by patient and long continued investigations - the surface of water is a LEVEL SURFACE. This is the key which is unlocking the minds of the people and letting in a flood of light upon the question of the shape of the earth. We know consequently that the surface of earth is a plane surface and that the earth itself can NOT be a globe." John Hampden

Quote by Nikola Tesla about the deceptive nature of the moon's rotation and scientific triumphsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"The greatest triumphs of man were those in which his mind had to free itself from the influence of delusive appearances.[...] An unalterable rotational velocity thru all phases of planetary evolution is manifestly impossible. [...] The truth is, the so-called “axial rotation” of the moon is a phenomenon deceptive alike to the eye and mind and devoid of physical meaning. [...] The moon does rotate, not on its own, but about an axis passing thru the center of the earth, the true and only one." Nikola Tesla

Quote by Dr. Robert Malone about fighting for freedom and opposing globalist ideologyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"They are coming from a belief system that says that nation-state is an obsolete idea and we have to have a one-world government that is basically a fusion of the interests of corporations and politics, global politics. And we’ve got to start by finding out who they are, voting them out of office, making sure they are not part of our governments. Two of the more prominent ones, are Governors Gavin Newsom of California and Jay Inslee of Washington. Both are WEF traitors working on behalf of foreign globalist interests, and are not, for all intents and purposes, true Americans. We’ve got to out these people, we’ve got to force them to account for whether they’re Americans or whether they’re globalists, and if they’re globalists then they’ve got to get out. We’ve got to get rid of them, we’ve got to take back ownership of our country. If you believe in the Constitution, if you believe in the principles of free speech and personal autonomy, medical autonomy and autonomy at every other level, then it’s time to fight. Or your children are going to live in basically a techno-fascism for the rest of their natural lives as serfs." Dr. Robert Malone

Quote by Yuval Noah Harari about the impact of Covid on digital surveillance and human hackingCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"I think maybe in a couple of decades when people look back, the thing they will remember from the Covid crisis is this is the moment when everything went digital and this was the moment when everything became monitored, that we agreed to be surveilled all the time, not just in authoritarian regimes, but even in democracies and maybe most importantly, this was the moment when surveillance started going under the skin, because really we haven’t seen anything yet. I think that the big process that’s happening right now, the world is hacking human beings, the ability to hack humans, to understand deeply what’s happening within you, what makes you go."

Quote by William Barrett about the beginning of the Modern Age and the rise of modern science and technologyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
""When did this Modern Age begin? Historical epochs merge into one another, and it may be arbitrary to seek for points of absolute beginning. When, for example, did the Middle Ages begin? When end? It would be futile here to seek an absolute point of division between the past and the epoch that succeeded it. But sometimes there are points at which we can see clearly that by this time something new has already arrived and is bound to transform human history radically. Accordingly, we may take the beginning of our Modern Age to be the early-seventeenth century. For that was the century that created modern science and its accompanying technology; and these two, science and technology, have become, as we have seen, the driving forces within modern civilization.""

Quote by Paul Feyerabend on how propaganda shapes knowledge and truthCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"There are numerous sociological and historical case studies describing how opinions are established as "knowledge" in societies. For example, Paul Feyerabend explained in 1975 that the establishment of the heliocentric worldview was not based on new discoveries, but on a clever propaganda strategy of Galileo Galilei. According to Feyerabend, the representatives of the geocentric world view "did not recognize the propaganda value of predictions and dramatic shows, nor did they make use of the intellectual and social power of the newly created classes. They lost because they did not take advantage of existing opportunities."" Paul Feyerabend

"We can talk with precision of a body as spinning around relative to something or another, but there is no such thing as absolute spin: the Earth is not spinning to those of us who live on its surface and our point of view is as good as anyone else’s – but no better." Sir Fred Hoyle

Quote by Walter van der Kamp on science, truth, and plausibilityCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"Actually neither this Galileo, nor his mentor Copernicus, had a shred of truly tangible and unequivocal evidence for their heliocentric belief – and well do historians, astronomers, and philosophers of science know it! As I recently found it succinctly expressed in a research paper “Since Galileo science has shed logical proofs in favour of plausibility. Indeed, by this “scientific method” of adding plausible explanations to plausible explanations astronomy has arrived at the present view of the cosmos. However, those who forget that “plausible” and “proven” are not synonyms inevitably will see their chickens come home to roost.”" Walter van der Kamp

Quote by Michael Ruppert about Republicans and Democrats being like organized crime familiesCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"It’s organized crime. All you do is you call the Republicans the Genoveses and you call the Democrats the Gambinos. The people at the top, they treat it like a crap game. It’s their crap game, like they’re making lots of money. Occasionally, somebody at the table shoots each other, but the moment anything threatens their crap game, they all unite to protect it. ... They’re both controlled by the same financial, economic and corporate interests." Michael Ruppert

A quote image featuring Hermann Broch's insights on delusion and mass psychologyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"Delusion is a self-contained value system that leads to a loss of rationality because it blocks open and critical thinking. When delusion arises in a community, irrational beliefs are amplified in the communal experience, reaching a fever pitch in moments of ecstasy that give individuals a feeling of happiness and power. Mass delusion can have a neurotic and a psychotic component. Neurosis is the struggle between inner and outer reality. It is designed to win, otherwise it succumbs to panic. Psychosis is a closed value system in which the affected person feels completely secure. They are not in conflict with the reality of the outside world, but live in their own value system, which they perceive as real. A closed system defends its autonomy by developing a self-contained logic and deriving norms from it that must be accepted without question. People who find themselves in a closed system become blind to reality and, when their irrational forces are unleashed, easily slip into dangerous delusion." Hermann Broch

Quote about anarchy, control, and progress by Jeffrey TuckerCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"Anarchy is all around us. Without it, our world would fall apart. All progress is due to it. All order extends from it. All blessed things that rise above the state of nature are owned to it. The human race thrives only because of the lack of control, not because of it. I’m saying that we need ever more absence of control to make the world a more beautiful place. It is a paradox that we must forever explain." Jeffrey Tucker

Quote by Ben Stone on the true nature of the State and the illusions of powerCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"On a metaphysical level, the State, whether real or imagined, is a faith based deity existing in the minds of its believers, generally based on a combination of the adoration of a Great Man along with an illogical fear of a Bogeyman in conjunction with an unblinking faith in the political process. That faith in turn relies on a dramatic opera-like performance on the part of politicians as they attempt to appear relevant, while the shadow government of bureaucrats and corporate/banking puppet masters attempts to remain unseen. All the while the State struggles to provide services it claims the monopolistic right to provide, while miserably failing at providing those services. On the occasion that the State's true nature is revealed and its failures exposed, it always responds by sending in waves of lies by actors on all levels, while systematically discrediting, beating down, or murdering anyone who shines the light on those failures. The State relies on an incredibly delicate balancing act between the disinterest of its victims, the imagery of a functioning political process, and faith in government-lead progress toward some mythical idea of a better tomorrow, in contrast with the reality of a non-functional puppet political process and an ever growing ever consuming Beast, driving humanity toward world-wide slavery at best, and species wide destruction as a very real possibility." Ben Stone

Quote by Henryk M. Broder about climate prophets and societal trustCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"No one in their right mind would let a sixteen-year-old whose parents gave them an anatomy atlas for Christmas remove their appendix. No one who wants to build a house for themselves and their family would hire a sixteen-year-old architect who has only built sandcastles so far. And no one who can tell the difference between a hedge fund and a building society savings agreement would entrust their fortune to a sixteen-year-old. But when it comes to the climate and the world we live in, noisy children suddenly mutate into esteemed prophets of impending doom." Henryk M. Broder

"The state is an institution run by gangs consisting of murderers, looters, and thieves, surrounded by compliant henchmen, propagandists, sycophants, crooks, liars, clowns, charlatans, charmers, and useful idiots—an institution that dirties and obscures everything it touches." Prof. Hans-Hermann Hoppe

"To put it bluntly, one could also say: we accept deaths and sacrifice freedoms and fundamental rights because we have left hospitals and elderly care to aggressive market forces and ultimately ruined them with cost-cutting measures." Lena Böllinger
