“Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales told to me in my childhood than in the truth that is taught by life.”
—Friedrich von Schiller
have anyone read "The missing piece"? Fuck that book. Made me cry in the midle of the store. I bought it and instead of listening to sad songs I read this book when I'm down. I just cry like a baby for 3 hours than I'm happy again. Fuck this book full of feelings

“We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable – but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art.” [emphasis added]

teach them rebellion and revolution and defiance, teach them to dream about a better world, teach them right to repair and reverse engineering and open source, teach them science and technology and engineering and art and design are all interlinked and that economists have no idea what they’re doing, teach them who the dragons are, teach them resilience and sustainability and regeneration, teach them other people have feelings too
don’t teach them conformity and obedience and compliance
You sound like a miserable POS, sorry
