 "Man seeks to form for himself, in whatever manner is suitable for him, a simplified and lucid image of the world, and so to overcome the world of experience by striving to replace it to some extent by this image. This is what the painter does, and the poet, the speculative philosopher, the natural scientist, each in his own way. Into this image and its formation, he places the center of gravity of his emotional life, in order to attain the peace and serenity that he cannot find within the narrow confines of swirling personal experience." Albert Einstein


















 "If the Truth is unpopular, replace the People." Myself





 "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! NO TRUTH HANDLER ARE YOU! I DERIDE YOUR TRUTH-HANDLING ABILITIES!" Sideshow Bob Roberts

Things I'd like to do on Wikipedia

edit
  • Actually follow Wales' dream of ALL human knowledge, if people didn't get it the first time.
  • Make well-sourced inclusionism the name of the game, and LOOK UP STUFF to prove things, rather than just delete them.
  • Find out where one should go in order to spread hate and viciousness, just to make a lot of people go bug-eyed, rather than because of actually believing in such.
  • Have Wikipedia offer free drinks to all posters.
