“Reason is the natural order of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning.”

“The vast majority of us imagine ourselves as like literature people or math people. But the truth is that the massive processor known as the human brain is neither a literature organ or a math organ. It is both and more.”

“An anarchist is like an undercover agent who plays the game of Reason in order to undercut the authority of Reason (Truth, Honesty, Justice and so on).”

“The end cannot justify the means, for the simple and obvious reason that the means employed determine the nature of the ends produced.”

“For the human experience, life in the natural world seems to require the application of meaning, in order to evoke purpose.”

“One always imagines that the days that change one’s life must be marked with something extraordinary in nature—storms and lightning, darkness at noon, and so on. In truth they are indistinguishable from any other, which is one reason we feel mocked, as if the world is telling us we are inconsequential.”
