society

Another flaw in human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.

One should as a rule respect public opinion in so far as is necessary to avoid starvation and to keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny, and is likely to interfere with happiness in all kinds of ways.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.

Diversity of thought makes us stronger, not weaker. Without diversity, we die off as a species. We can no longer adapt to changes in the environment. We need each other to survive.

Ja lijepa vakta, ko obraza nema.

Society only leaves people in peace if they conform.
 

There is no governor anywhere; you are all absolutely free. There is no restraint that cannot be escaped. We are all absolutely free. If everybody could go into dhyana at will, nobody could be controlled — by fear of prison, by fear of whips or electroshock, by fear of death, even. All existing society is based on keeping those fears alive, to control the masses. Ten people who know would be more dangerous than a million armed anarchists.

A lot of times, the real motivation is different from what people say is the real motivation. For example, buying expensive headphones, they are not really to make you hear better. You want to signal to the world that you are affluent and you have status and good taste.

The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images.

Kada država počne sebe da naziva "domovinom" i "otadžbinom" znajte da je žedna krvi.
