    Just spent some time checking out this artist's website, and there are a lot more like this. Really impressive that they can communicate this thing in this way, which I don't think I will do justice with words. but something like primal and primate instinct and security. Maybe something about our social nature and survival. I'm taking those orbs to be breastish. Really love the weird little alien face, little kids are so cute but their weird little alien minds are strange to watch working, and I guess probably all of us are like that, we're better at lying about it. I don't know if I'm making sense and I guess it doesn't matter 🤣

    If that comes to pass then the #IranWar would be justified as a War or #Necessity and not of War of Choice. That changes the entire equation. Entire group of countries who have hitherto silently opposed #IranWar and carried out actions which limit #US options will shift into silent support or active help.

    That is not the worse part, #Israel might push for a balkanisation of #Iran and have its way.

  23. A quotation from Oscar Wilde

    Sometimes the poor are praised for being thrifty. But to recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less.

    Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Irish poet, wit, dramatist
    Essay (1891-02), “The Soul of Man Under Socialism,” Fortnightly Review, Vol. 49 (ns)

  33. The #phrase "#capitalism breeds #innovation" had been pissing me off lately. Because the best #innovations have been made from either #necessity or a #desire to make a regular task a little easier or the world a littke better, and several of the best innovations have been suppressed or ignored BECAUSE of capitalism and #greed.

  34. A quotation from William Pitt

    It is true, the bill is said to be founded on necessity; but what is this? Is it not necessity, which has always been the plea of every illegal exertion of power, or exercise of oppression? Is not necessity the pretence of every usurpation? Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

    William Pitt (1759-1806) British Prime Minister (1804-06) [William Pitt the Younger]
    Speech (1793-11-18), House of Commons, London

  39. A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

    He who imagines he can do without the world, deceives himself much; but he who fancies the world cannot do without him, is still more mistaken.
     
    [Celui qui croit pouvoir trouver en soi-même de quoi se passer de tout le monde se trompe fort; mais celui qui croit qu’on ne peut se passer de lui se trompe encore davantage.]

    François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
    Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶201 (1665-1678) [pub. Donaldson (1783), ¶93]

  41. A quotation from Euripides

    MENELAUS:        But so it has to be.
       For the saying is not mine, but it was wisely said,
       that nothing has more strength than dire necessity.
     
    [ΜΕΝΕΛΈΩΣ:        ἀλλ᾽ ἀναγκαίως ἔχει.
       λόγος γάρ ἐστιν οὐκ ἐμός, σοφὸν δ᾽ ἔπος,
       δεινῆς ἀνάγκης οὐδὲν ἰσχύειν πλέον.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Helen [Ἑλένη], l. 512ff (412 BC) [tr. Lattimore (1956)]

  42. A quotation from Montaigne

    It is dangerous to attack a man whom you have deprived of every means of escape except by fighting, for necessity is a violent schoolmistress.
     
    [Il fait dangereux assaillir un homme, à qui vous avez osté tout autre moyen d’eschapper que par les armes : car c’est une violente maistresse d’escole que la necessité.]

    Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
    Essay (1572), “Of the Uncertainty of Our Judgment [De l’incertitude de nostre jugement],” Essays, Book 1, ch. 47 (1.47) (1595) [tr. Cohen (1958)]
