Politics

Posted by PJ under politics, quote of the day

Random quote of the day:

“In our age there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics.’ All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred, and schizophrenia.”

Reluctant

Posted by PJ under bearing witness, psychic, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Parapsychological events are fairly common, much more frequent than people realize. It is only the reluctance to tell others about psychic occurrences that makes them seem rare. And the more highly trained are the most reluctant to share.”

Talking

Posted by PJ under drama, quote of the day, talking, truth, tv
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“When the media investigates a phenomenon like psi, or for that matter privatizing Social Security or forming a public health care system, they reach out to sources with diametrically opposed positions. That makes for higher drama, more colorful quotes, and, so the thinking goes, better radio or television. What it doesn’t bring us any closer to is the truth.”

Conspiracy

Posted by PJ under conspiracies, gods, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“The conspiracy theory of society is just a version of…theism, of a belief in gods whose whims and wills rule everything. It comes from abandoning God and then asking: “Who is in his place?” His place is then filled by various powerful men and groups—sinister pressure groups, who are to be blamed for having planned the great depression and all the evils from which we suffer.”

—Karl Popper, Conjectures and Refutations

Gods
