The evil that is in the world always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence, if they lack understanding.... The most incorrigible vice being that of an ignorance that fancies it knows everything and therefore claims for itself the right to kill. The soul of the murderer is blind; and there can be no true goodness nor true love without the utmost clear-sightedness.

The introduction of new technology is always disruptive to old markets, and particularly to those copyright owners whose works are sold through well-established distribution mechanisms. History has shown that time and market forces often provide equilibrium in balancing interests, whether the new technology be a player piano, a copier, a tape recorder, a video recorder, a personal computer, a karaoke machine or an MP3 player.

If your brain is always multitasking, or responding to technoprompts, there is no time or energy for undirected mental play. Furthermore, if you are consumed by the same information loop circulating around everyone else, you don't have anything to stimulate you into thinking differently. ... You don't have access to unexpected knowledge. You're just swept along in the same narrow current as everyone else, which is swift but not deep.

Starting a new thread with photos from #NineMileCanyon in #Utah.

This is one of the most concentrated collections of #RockArt in the US. Mostly pecked #Petroglyphs that are from 800 to 200 years old, with a few red painted #Pictographs mixed in.

Note there is a new problem with #vandalism to these important artifacts. 🙁 Everyone should work to protect them!

Do not let the bread of the hungry mildew in your larder! Do not let moths eat the poor man's cloak. Do not store the shoes of the barefoot. Do not hoard the money of the needy. Things you possess in too great abundance belong to the poor and not to you. You are the thief who steals from God if you are able to help your neighbor and refuse to do it.

While hiking in New Mexico a while back, I saw these Native American pictographs. Staring at them and reflecting was mesmerizing.

Fun fact: people colloquially use “petroglyphs” to describe paintings on rock walls. But that specifically refers to etchings, not paintings. “Pictographs” is the term for the latter.
