Viktor Schauberger Quote: The Truth About Civilized Humanity and Cultural Decline
“Despite its apparently high technical culture, ‘civilized humanity’ has reached such a low ethical level that it no longer realizes that such physical and moral decay is nothing other than the progressive decline of culture. For this reason, the sacred duty of people who are aware of the gravity of their mistakes is to constantly strive for the final correction of the consequences of mistakes.”

Johannes Kepler Quotes: The Inspiring Passion of the Astronomer for Truth and Science!
“Now, eighteen months after the first light, three months after the true day, but a very few days after the pure Sun of that most wonderful study began to shine, nothing restrains me; it is my pleasure to yield to the inspired frenzy, it is my pleasure to taunt mortal men with the candid acknowledgement that I am stealing the golden vessels of the Egyptians to build a tabernacle to my God from them, far, far away from the boundaries of Egypt. If you forgive me, I shall rejoice; if you are enraged with me, I shall bear it. See, I cast the die, and I write the book. Whether it is to be read by the people of the present or of the future makes no difference: let it await its reader for a hundred years, if God Himself has stood ready for six thousand years for one to study Him.”
Johannes Kepler
Yuval Noah Harari Quote: Why Clarity Means Power in an Information Flood!

Pete Holmes Quotes: Unveiling the Fascinating Magic of Faith and Nothingness
“Some people think God created the universe. Some people think nothing created the universe, which is the funniest guess and the nothing people make fun of the God people. They say, God doesn’t exist. I’m like, okay, maybe. But you know what? Definitely doesn’t exist. Nothing. That’s the defining characteristic of nothing is that it doesn’t exist. So what are we talking about? Either you think it’s God, something you can’t see, touch, taste, photograph, and science can’t prove, or you think it’s nothing, something you can’t see. Touch, taste, photograph, and science can’t prove. But I think we can all agree if nothing, if you are nothing, sometimes spontaneously erupts into everything. That’s a pretty goddamn magical fucking nothing you guys and ask.
Ask the nothing people, what happens when you die? They’ll tell you nothing. You go into nothing. I’m like, you mean you merge back with your creator? That’s heaven, bitch.”
Pete Holmes
Vince Ebert Quote: Science, Theology, and the Art of Checking
“For example, if I suspect that there might still be beer in the fridge and I check, then in principle I’m already doing a preliminary form of science. Big difference to theology. In theology, assumptions are not usually tested. So if I just say “there’s beer in the fridge”, I’m a theologian. If I look, I’m a scientist. If I look, find nothing and still claim there’s beer in it – then I’m an esoteric!”

Sometimes I really think 2019 was the last normal year – Unknown
“Sometimes I really think 2019 was the last normal year of our lives and ever since, it feels like we’ve slipped into some alternate reality where nothing makes sense, everyone is on the edge, time moves too fast yet too slow, and the world we knew just doesn’t exist anymore.”

Educational Reform and Imagination – Quote by Hans-Peter Dürr
