macOS Ken Ray<p>Maybe a Star Trek series or movie should address how we happen to have all of the amazing stuff we have in the 23rd/24th/25th century. Is it megalomaniacal billionaires and get rich quick investors building starships? Or is it governing bodies focused on the greater good? If you can watch this stuff without wondering how we get there, why not just watch Game of Thrones? We can’t just imagine a better future. We have to be it. And yes - we have to vote for it. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/startrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>startrek</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/idealism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>idealism</span></a></p>

G. Wells. There you were, in a world of pedants, clergymen and golfers, with your future employers exhorting you to “get on or get out”, your parents systematically warping your sexual life, and your dull-witted schoolmasters sniggering over their Latin tags; and here was this wonderful man who could tell you about the inhabitants of the planets and the bottom of the sea, and who <i>knew</i> that the future was not going to be what respectable people imagined.</blockquote><p><b>George Orwell</b> (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]<br>Essay (1941-08), “Wells, Hitler, and the World State,” <i>Horizon</i></p> <p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/orwell-george/37598/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">wist.info/orwell-george/37598/</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>qotd</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=hgwells" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hgwells</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=adventure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>adventure</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=future" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>future</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=iconoclasm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iconoclasm</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=idealism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>idealism</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=optimism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>optimism</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>reading</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>progress</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=respectability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>respectability</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=sciencefiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sciencefiction</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=society" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>society</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=speculation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>speculation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=youth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>youth</span></a></p>

WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/orwell-george/76640/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>Orwell</b></a></p><blockquote>The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection, that one is sometimes willing to commit sins for the sake of loyalty, that one does not push asceticism to the point where it makes friendly intercourse impossible, and that one is prepared in the end to be defeated and broken up by life, which is the inevitable price of fastening one’s love upon other human individuals. No doubt alcohol, tobacco and so forth are things that a saint must avoid, but sainthood is also a thing that human beings must avoid.</blockquote><p><b>George Orwell</b> (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]<br>Essay (1949-01), “Reflections on Gandhi,” <i>Partisan Review</i></p> <p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/orwell-george/76640/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">wist.info/orwell-george/76640/</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>qotd</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=orwell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>orwell</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=georgeorwell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>georgeorwell</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=asceticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asceticism</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=humancondition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>humancondition</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=humannature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>humannature</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=idealism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>idealism</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=imperfection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>imperfection</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=loveyourneighbor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>loveyourneighbor</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=saint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>saint</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=sainthood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sainthood</span></a></p>
jan“In Plato’s Timaeus you begin to see what we would now call dualism… Aristotle systematizes this… Even so, radical dualism has not yet appeared. Leap to the 1600s. René Descartes codifies mind–body dualism… All subsequent modern philosophy wrestles with that divide—some thinkers tilt toward mind (idealism), others toward matter (materialism)… Contemporary cognitive science debates—“the hard problem” of consciousness—are variations on those early-modern dilemmas. For tens of thousands of years animism was humanity’s baseline; the last few centuries are the anomaly.”<br>—Matthew Segall, Prehensions, Propositions, and the Cosmological Commons<br><a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/mind" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mind</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/body" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#body</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/idealism" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#idealism</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/materialism" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#materialism</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/animism" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#animism</a>
