Quotes that make you think

[Ponderling]

Yah, but if you have ever viewed holgrams you will note that what you see changes depending on the angle of the eye and the angle illumination source.
And a holigram can be made to hold a lot of layers.

The nearest movie quote that come to me like this is from Men in Black.
Where the universe was in the marble thing hanging from the cats neck as Orien's Bell.
Then that scene closes and you see aliens playing marbles, and each marble holds a universe. Fade to black. Movie ends.

Sorry for the crazy badly mixed metafors.
Just the way my brain is bouncing.
It is telling me I should get some sleep soon when these weird thoughts start running together.
And the am alarm clock is set to 5:30 for work tomorrow.

Chop for 10 minutes then sharpen for 20 minutes .....

You do not sharpen for 6 hours straight

Oh...

Well that seemed too obvious.


- "If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend an hour going to rent a chainsaw with a really long bar and fifteen minutes cutting the wood. Then I'd spend another half hour returning the chainsaw. Then I'd spend an hour seeing a @MIRAGE girl near the Etobicoke Home Depot to look after my wood..." - Schlongconery

My favorite quote from the Bard

 

[Zoot Allures]

Love it

Totally, we had human tendencies before religion. Look at the bonding between monkeys


This is called a hitch-slap

Not quite. Religion is the belief you have figured out what what God tells you what to do. But he is right that only a religious God tells you what to do.



"This kind of modesty is too arrogant for me" is a great line

In the next quote Harris discusses nondualism. Nondualism emphasizes direct experience as a path to understanding.
The idea is we are not separate from God or the universe vs faith based religion which believes in dualism

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."

Made up my own quote

The most elementary study of evolution leads one to the undeniable fact that we are designed by our creator to survive and have offspring, not to be happy. Not much of a creator, I must say.

Put another way, the Creator just wants us to eat, drink, fuck and not worry about anything else.

When you want to hire the dumb and lazy



"Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don’t have the first, the other two will kill you. You think about it; it’s true. If you hire somebody without integrity, you really want them to be dumb and lazy.”


Warren Buffet
