That people can be so adamant about being unnecessarily incorrect astounds me. To claim philosophy is dead is to betray a base misunderstanding with the way of the world. Vicious machine-souls ye are, worshiping efficiency and embittered by the realization that vulnerability and suffering goes hand in hand.

Quotes for the deaf and damned with the steel-toed boots and the fearful gaze:

>“The main business of humanity is to do a good job of being human beings," said Paul, "not to serve as appendages to machines, institutions, and systems.”

>"And my husband says somebody’s just got to be maladjusted; that somebody’s got to be uncomfortable enough to wonder where people are, where they’re going, and why they’re going there.”

>“People are finding that, because of the way the machines are changing the world, more and more of their old values don't apply any more. People have no choice but to become second-rate machines themselves, or wards of the machines.”

>“If it weren't for the people, the god-damn people' said Finnerty, 'always getting tangled up in the machinery. If it weren't for them, the world would be an engineer's paradise.”
