Important Things to Remember

There are truths that aren't necessarily literally true, but are metaphorically true. Some value is derived from taking them as true.

The only true freedom is that which you create. Trustlessness. Only through your own power can you create freedom. Otherwise your freedom is incomplete as you indebt yourself to supposed altruists in the process. Value, time, freedom are intrinsically linked.

Time isn't money. Money is time. All value comes from time. Every being pays for their time with death. Nothing is worth more than life to a dying man.

The simplest solution to a problem is to make it physically impossible for the solution not to occur.

Price's law: The square root of the number of people in a domain do 50% of the work.
"The median person has not done anything creative ever in their life with anything on any dimension."

There comes a time where the child will test their parent. If the parent wins, the child will favor becoming like them. If the parent loses, the child will see their ways as flawed and seek to forge a new path.

"If you tell the truth, no matter what happens, it was the best possible outcome." J.P. response podcast to Ch.4 Cathy interview

Every single law that can be abused has been abused in exactly the ways it was said it wouldn't be abused in.

Suppression of an idea is the #1 way to increase resentment and spread the idea.

"If you want to hurt someone, punish them for their virtues, not their faults."

It's not the size of the army, but the size of the army in your enemy's mind.
Overestimating your enemy can be as dangerous as underestimating them.

We could not exist if existence didn't precede and supersede consciousness.

What you most need will be found where you least want to look. - Jung

Evil is the force that believes its knowledge to be complete.

Their greatest strength is their greatest weakness.

Bitter enemies can become the greatest of allies.

Nobody who trumpets justice is ever so righteous.

Not "too big to fail". So big, it has to fail.

Find what scares you and expose yourself to it.
Confront your shadow and wear it as a cloak.
Use your flaws as tools.

It is always darkest before the dawn...

By their fruits, ye shall know them.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be. - Suzuka (Outlaw Star), Hamlet, Bible

Beware of wisdom you did not earn.

History is a fine weave.

Easy come, easy go.

The problem with communism is when it is enforced rather than occurring naturally.

In nature, communism (sharing food, water, labor, shelter from most able to most need) works well in communities, while they are still capitalistic between species in general.

It wouldn't be so brutally awful of a system if you could somehow apply it universally. It's the fact that "the invisible hand of Nature" (rather than any individual within it) is guiding communism that allows it to function.

The nature of creating communism as a system from something that isn't communism though, is that you must have someone to direct it. Which means, right from the get-go, in order to attempt to "create" communism, you have to put in place a long-term system of organizers in power to uphold it, the very antithesis of the idea itself. You have to have the inequal men kicking down the doors of people for being inequal. Because in a truly communistic society, there can be no governance, only individual responsibility, which works well in small niches and groups, but ends unilaterally in disaster when expanded to such a grand scale. Yet you must have some form of government as the system would tend towards staying the same otherwise.

The Philosophy of Kreia
Do not unduly rob others of their conflict. You make their victory cheap. The greatest refinement comes under the most pressure. You do not make their lives better, you make their lives easier. At the same time, do not allow others to achieve your victory for you. Your greatest strength comes from within.

"The artist shouldn't be able to say exactly what he or she is doing. If you can say what you're doing, you're not producing art. Art bears the same relationship to culture that the dream does to mental stability. Your dream doesn't say what it's about, it just is. You can interpret it, and that's helpful, but the dream extends you beyond what you are. ... That's what art is. The artist who subsumes the artistic vision to the idealogical framework is putting the cart before the horse. It's actually a sin, I would say, it's like the ultimate in creative sin because you're harnessing the greater to the lesser."

"There isn't a difference between free speech and thinking. And there isn't a difference between thinking and making tools. Free speech isn't the freedom to speak, it's the freedom to think. And you might say, "Well, why should people be able to think?" And the answer to that is because "They let stupid thoughts die instead of them." and that's Carl Pauper. So, you're condemning people to suffering and even death if you don't let them speak. Thought's a collective process. This conversation, this is THINKING what we've been doing. It's not like you had these thoughts, and I had these thoughts, and we're bringing them forward; we're creating thoughts on the fly, and refining them, and communicating them. You interfere with that, you interfere with the Logos. You stop Chaos from being turned into Order."

"You could ask,

"Are there more differences within groups or between them?"

Now, the Post-Modern answer to that is "Between them". That's why you need diversity, by group. That's why you need different races, that's why you need different ethnicities and sexual preferences and all of that. Well, that's wrong. There's more difference within the groups than there is between them. You don't get diversity by crossing the groups, you get diversity by selecting across individuals. In fact, the idea that there is more differences between groups is actually _the fundamental racist idea_.

Which is, let's say, well you're Asian. You're so different from me, that there is NO overlap between our groups. And you're also so different, and there's so _little_ difference between your group that now that I know that you're not me, you're not one of mine, I actually know what you're like. No. Technically, that is incorrect, that's wrong. That isn't how you get diversity."
