It seems that my ideas about “predator’s way” have scientific confirmation…

What Big Brother really does
“Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn’t watching. He’s singing and dancing. He’s pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother’s busy holding your attention every moment you’re awake. He’s making sure you’re always distracted. He’s making sure you’re fully absorbed. He’s making sure your imagination withers. Until it’s as useful as your appendix. He’s making sure your attention is always filled. And this being fed, it’s worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what’s in your mind. With everyone’s imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.”
Chuck Palahniuk
Let them be helpless like children
Please note that I consider Stalker the best movie of all time.
“Let everything that’s been planned come true. Let them believe. And let them have a laugh at their passions. Because what they call passion actually is not some emotional energy, but just the friction between their souls and the outside world. And most important, let them believe in themselves. Let them be helpless like children, because weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing.”
Andrey Tarkovskiy, “Stalker” (1979)
The truth is simple
“The truth is simple. If it were complicated, everyone would understand it.”
Walt Whitman
Give up virtue…
Give up virtue, renounce wisdom; people will benefit a thousand times.
Give up kindness, renounce morality, people will embrace love and filial piety.
Give up cleverness, renounce greed, bandits and thieves will vanish.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
What people forget
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Maya Angelou
