The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim. Gustave Le Bon
A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years. Lysander Spooner
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. Frederick Douglas

Why Plato used the dialogue form
Ever wonder why Plato chose to speak and write in the dialogue form? If so, you’re not alone. I’ve wondered that myself in the past while reading some of his work.

The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And if he is not romantic personally, he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are. H.L. Mencken
Without leaving your home, you can understand the whole world. Without looking out the window, you can see the way of heaven. The further away you go, the less you understand yourself.

Nobody can give you freedom, nobody can give you equality or justice. If you are a man you take it. Malcolm X
Access to Porn does not mean Sexual Freedom
During past discussions I’ve often found that people mistakenly believe that where there’s easy access to lots of porn and a variety of sexual services there’s sexual freedom. For example like we can see in most Western an European societies today. But this is a misconception; the truth is the opposite. Pornography would not exist in any society where there’s true sexual freedom. Read more ⟶
