Jonathan Swift Quote: Why Geniuses Always Face Opposition!
“When a great genius appears in the world you may know him by this sign: that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.”

“Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin good forces have invented or made”

“Activating collective consciousness is probably one of the most difficult tasks to attempt because people are largely unaware of the extent to which their thinking is governed by tacit rules and predetermined as given, assumed notions that, because they appear as self-evident truth, render ideology invisible. Truly unrestricted intellectual debate feels threatening because it strives to break out of this cognitive cage. Worse, this cage is so insidious that it influences even those who are already outside the mainstream.
People are rarely, if ever, persuaded by argument. Those who adopt dissenting opinions do so ,because they were already naturally predisposed to do so and events have brought about a process by which they have become more true to themselves.”

“One need only translate the terms “conspiracy theorists” as “heretics” to know the tradition in which these terms stand and those who use them. Ultimately, it is about the accusation of apostasy from the ruling faith, which is determined by the ruling authorities and majorities. (Faith in this respect can also be translated as ruling doctrine, ideology, etc.). Thus, contrary to the subjective view of many of its users, the terms are themselves expressions of clerical and authoritarian thought structures based on subjugation as a basic psychological pattern. It is denunciatory, inquisitorial. It is directed against classical skepticism.
Thus, the main purpose of these terms can only be to discredit “serious conjectures”, hypotheses and facts, and thereby prevent real causal research.
The term is linguistically barbaric and show an amazingly powerful psychological effect in suppressing independent thought. Where thought is undesirable, these clubs are used by default: You don’t really want to…think about it. Independent thought is the enemy of government. Psychological operations, such as 9/11 or, say, the NASA “moon landing,” are weapons of mass destruction whose target is independent thought.”
Daniel Neun
“It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others.”
Marianne Williamson
“We are unable to even conceive of the immeasurable achievements, progress, and discoveries of mankind that would be attainable in an entrepreneurial environment freed from all etatism. The creative power of human nature is such that it can take root and flourish even in the narrowest crevices left by the state. But when people realize the essentially perverse nature of the state that coerces them and perceive the immeasurable possibilities that are taken away from them day after day by blocking the driving force of their entrepreneurial creativity, then social protest will increase. Then there will be calls for reforms, for dismantling the state, and for steps toward a future that we don’t even know today, but that will inevitably lift human civilization to previously unimaginable heights.”

“War is when the government tells you who the bad guy is. Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.”
Benjamin Franklin
“The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them.”
Philip K. Dick
