Mistakes, success, the self, books, societal collapse, University, and pure thought

It is better to make the right mistakes, than to achieve the wrong successes.

This is a dysfunctional universe.

The idea of 'self' is relative, not absolute, because it exists only due to the fact that others exist.

We must read books which do not evoke, but revoke thought.

The formula for societal collapse: stop consuming, stop producing.

If there is one thing University has accomplished, it is that it has reinforced the belief that one actually knows what a proton and electron truly are. But we only label mysteries, and call this knowledge.

Words demystify, because words are pure thought, and non-words are non-thought.
