"If there was an observer on Mars, they would probably be amazed that we have survived this long." ― Noam Chomsky Topic(s): Design More From Noam Chomsky "The principle that human nature, in its psychological aspects, is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful." "There are two problems for our species’ survival – nuclear war and environmental catastrophe – and we’re hurtling towards them. Knowingly." "If you are working 50 hours a week in a factory, you don’t have time to read 10 newspapers a day and go back to declassified government archives. But such people may have far-reaching insights into the way the world works." More In Design "In two days, it’s hard to to get the quality you would normally want for a design project."― Douglas Wilson "I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence, for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth."― John Adams "Intelligent design itself does not have any content."― George Gilder
