Truth is found neither in marxism nor in traditional capitalism. each represents a partial truth. historically capitalism failed to see the truth in collective enterprise, and marxism failed to see the truth in individual enterprise. nineteenth century capitalism failed to see that life is social and marxism failed and still fails to see that life is individual and personal. the kingdom of god is neither the thesis of individual enterprise nor the antithesis of collective enterprise, but a synthesis which reconciles the truths of both.

The main characteristic of collectivism is that it does not take notice of the individual's will and moral self-determination. in the light of its philosophy the individual is born into a collective and it is "natural" and proper for him to behave as members of this collective are expected to behave. expected by whom? of course, by those individuals to whom, by the mysterious decrees of some mysterious agency, the task of determining the collective will and directing the actions of the collective has been entrusted.

Our problem is that the climate crisis hatched in our laps at a moment in history when political and social conditions were uniquely hostile to a problem of this nature and magnitude-that moment being the tail end of the go-go '80s, the blastoff point for the crusade to spread deregulated capitalism around the world. climate change is a collective problem demanding collective action the likes of which humanity has never actually accomplished. yet it entered mainstream consciousness in the midst of an ideological war being waged on the very idea of the collective sphere.

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.

I come out of a cold war sensibility, a cold war mentality, and during those cold war years, i used to know, i thought, the answers to everything. and since the end of the cold war, i'm just a dumb as everyone else.

A “collective” mind does not exist. it is merely the sum of endless numbers of individual minds. if we have an endless number of individual minds who are weak, meek, submissive and impotent – who renounce their creative supremacy for the sake of the “whole” and accept humbly that the “whole’s” verdict – we don’t get a collective super-brain. we get only the weak, meek, submissive and impotent collective mind.

If you want to get an advance machine tool job today, you need to know calculus. we know a lot of people don't, we can't expect everyone to know calculus, what do we do? we created a huge bubble that created a huge number of jobs to build houses and to be in retail. you don't have to have a lot of skills to work in the new gap store that opened, at the latest starbucks branch, or to hammer a nail for a new house.
