“One reason that propaganda often works better on the educated than on the uneducated is that educated people read more, so they receive more propaganda. Another is that they have jobs in management, media, and academia and therefore work in some capacity as agents of the propaganda system--and they believe what the system expects them to believe. By and large, they're part of the privileged elite, and share the interests and perceptions of those in power.” - Noam Chomsky

“Why does man not see things? He is himself standing in the way: he conceals things.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

“I'm concerned about another kind of religious fundamentalism: environmentalism. The Greenies have no more respect for scientific truth and individual liberty than the Goddies do. Both operate on faith, rather than fact. And neither of them has any qualms about dusting off the rack, the pincers, the Iron Maiden, and the red hot branding irons in order to see their mythology ensconced as beyond question.” - L. Neil Smith

“When you or I write a check there must be sufficient funds in our account to cover the check, but when the Federal Reserve writes a check there is no bank deposit on which that check is drawn. When the Federal Reserve writes a check, it is creating money.” - Federal Reserve Bank of Boston

“We're going from infinite money and finite energy to finite money and infinite energy.” - Abe Cambridge

“Human civilization flourished in times and places where sound money was widely adopted, while unsound money all too frequently coincided with civilizational decline and societal collapse.” - Saifedean Ammous

“There are only two means by which men can deal with one another: guns or logic. Force or persuasion. Those who know that they cannot win by means of logic, have always resorted to guns.” - Ayn Rand

“We are in danger of being overwhelmed with irredeemable paper, mere paper, representing not gold nor silver; no, Sir, representing nothing but broken promises, bad faith, bankrupt corporations, cheated creditors, and a ruined people.” - Daniel Webster

“Think of a hardware wallet as a single condom for your Bitcoins. Correct usage can protect you from the vast majority of unwanted pregnancies.” - Felix Weis

“You go above and beyond them: but the higher you climb, the smaller you appear to the eye of envy. And he who flies is hated most of all.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.” - Aldous Huxley

“Modern liberalism, however well intentioned, is a byproduct of the same collectivist thinking that characterizes racism. The continued insistence on group thinking only inflames racial tensions. The true antidote to racism is liberty. Liberty means having a limited, constitutional government devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than group claims. Liberty means free-market capitalism, which rewards individual achievement and competence, not skin color, gender, or ethnicity.” - Ron Paul

“The public demands certainties. But there are no certainties.” - H. L. Mencken

“Time is interchangeable with volatility. Antifragile systems feed on volatility, which is why they persist over time. Bitcoin is antifragile money - it thrives amid adversity, stressors, and uncertainty; its voracious appetite for volatility ensures its success over time.” - Robert Breedlove

“The scarcity is in our national currencies. In fact, the job of central banks is to create and maintain that currency scarcity. The direct consequence is that we have to fight with each other in order to survive.” - Bernard Lietaer

“A leader leads by example not by force.” - Sun Tzu

“Political correctness is America's newest form of intolerance, and it is especially pernicious because it comes disguised as tolerance. It presents itself as fairness, yet attempts to restrict and control people's language with strict codes and rigid rules.” - George Carlin

“The powers vested in the Federal Reserve Board seem to me highly dangerous especially when there is political control of the Board. I should be sorry to hold stock in a bank subject to such dominations. The [Federal Reserve] bill as it stands seems to me to open the way to a vast inflation of the currency.” - Henry Cabot Lodge Sr.

“Today’s global fiat money system, the dollar standard, originated from government trickery and deception by self-serving politicians serving special interest groups, who colluded to bring about a full fiat money system. To the benefit of the ruling elites and in detriment to everyone else.” - Manuel Tacanho

“Censorship laws are blunt instruments, not sharp scalpels. Once enacted, they are easily misapplied to merely unpopular or only marginally dangerous speech.” - Alan Dershowitz
