If you’re not careful, time will take away everything that ever hurt you, everything you have ever lost, and replace it with knowledge. Time is a machine: it will convert your pain into experience. Raw data will be compiled, will be translated into a more comprehensible language. The individual events of your life will be transmuted into another substance called memory and in the mechanism something will be lost and you will never be able to reverse it, you will never again have the original moment back in its uncategorised, preprocessed state. It will force you to move on and you will not have a choice in the matter.

Charles Yu, How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe. (via ourcatastrophe)

(NOTE TO SELF: READ THIS BOOK)

Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth — more than ruin — more even than death…. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.

Bertrand Russell (via cultureofresistance)

Let’s Get Over It

It’s time to get over the Rick Perry thing. Of course the man is an incredible douche bag. He is going to say the most polarizing things he can think of to win a PRIMARY election. Then backpedal during a general election. Just like…

“Q: Define marriage. A: I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman… Q: Would you support a constitutional amendment with that definition? A: No I would not. Because historically we have defined marriage in our constitution, it’s been a matter of state law.”

– Barack Obama

Because the whole point is, the culture wars are a distraction. Something to piss you off while both parties help their pals fuck off with all the money.

If you believe in gay rights (like I do), then fight for gay rights. Don’t worry about the other side’s posturing.

Gnosis

liber000:

Gnosis
Is the moment
That your realize
Feel up and size
All that you are
In this scheme of things
Feeling slowly
What it brings
A burning fire
A desire
To be so much more
Than you are
Looking at your soul
Near but from afar
This is GNOSIS
