What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

People have a hard time accepting free-market economics for the same reason they have a hard time accepting evolution: it is counterintuitive. life looks intelligently designed, so our natural inclination is to infer that there must be an intelligent designer--a god. similarly, the economy looks designed, so our natural inclination is to infer that we need a designer--a government. in fact, emergence and complexity theory explains how the principles of self-organization and emergence cause complex systems to arise from simple systems without a top-down designer.

...the nervous systems of other animals were not artificially constructed - as a robot might be artificially constructed - to mimic the pain behavior of humans. a capacity to feel pain obviously enhances a species' prospects of survival...it is surely unreasonable to suppose that nervous systems that are virtually identical physiologically, have a common origin and a common evolutionary function, and result in similar forms of behavior in similar circumstances should actually operate in an entirely different manner on the level of subjective feelings.
Pain Animal Feelings
Nature consists of facts and of regularities, and is in itself neither moral nor immoral. it is we who impose our standards upon nature, and who in this way introduce morals into the natural world, in spite the fact that we are part of this world. we are products of nature, but nature has made us together with our power of altering the world, of foreseeing and of planning for the future, and of making far-reaching decisions for which we are morally responsible. yet, responsibility, decisions, enter the world of nature only with us

When the united states cannibalize dollars from the defensive business of the nsa, securing our communications, protecting our systems, patching zero-day vulnerabilities, and instead we're giving those dollars to be used for creating new vulnerabilities in our systems so that they can surveil us and other people abroad who use the same systems.

One problem with politics is that it is a zero sum game, i.e. politicians argue how to cut the pie smaller and smaller, by reshuffling pieces of the pie. i think this is destructive. instead, we should be creating a bigger pie, i.e. funding the science that is the source of all our prosperity. science is not a zero sum game.
Zero Cutting Thinking
The worst thing about this modern world is that people think you get killed on television with zero pain and zero blood. it must enter into kids' heads that it's not very messy to kill somebody, and it doesn't hurt that much. that's a real sickness to me. that's a real sick thing.
Hurt Zero Pain
If we are addressing the issue of weapons of mass destruction, we need to send a uniform, consistent message that there is zero tolerance to any country who is developing weapons of mass destruction, north korea included.
