Quote by Jared Diamond

Technology causes problems as well as solves problems. Nobody has figured out a way to ensure that, as of tomorrow, technology won't create problems. Technology simply means increased power, which is why we have the global problems we face today.

Comment l'Histoire pourrait-elle mieux servir la vie qu'en a

Comment l'Histoire pourrait-elle mieux servir la vie qu'en attachant ? leur patrie et aux coutumes de leur patrie les races et les peuples moins favorisÃ©s, en leur donnant des goÃ»ts sÃ©dentaires, ce qui les empÃªche de chercher mieux ? l'Ã©tranger, de rivaliser dans la lutte pour parvenir ? ce mieux? Parfois cela paraÃ®t Ãªtre de l'entÃªtement et de la dÃ©raison qui visse en quelque sorte l'individu ? tels compagnons et ? tel entourage, ? telles habitudes laborieuses, ? tels stÃ©rile coteau. Mais c'est la dÃ©raison la plus salutaire, celle qui profite le plus ? la collectivitÃ©. Chacun le sait, qui s'est rendu compte des terribles effets de l'esprit d'aventure, de la fiÃ¨vre d'Ã©migration, quand ils s'emparent de peuplades entiÃ¨res, chacun le sait, qui a vu de prÃ¨s un peuple ayant perdu la fidÃ©litÃ© ? son passÃ©, abandonnÃ© ? une chasse fiÃ©vreuse de la nouveautÃ©, ? une recherche perpÃ©tuelle des Ã©lÃ©ments Ã©trangers. Le sentiment contraire, le plaisir que l'arbre prend ? ses racines, le bonheur que l'on Ã©prouve ? ne pas se sentir nÃ© de l'arbitraire et du hasard, mais sorti d'un passÃ© hÃ©ritier, floraison, fruit , ce qui excuserait et justifierait mÃªme l'existence : c'est l? ce que l'on appelle aujourd'hui, avec une certaine prÃ©dilection, le sens historique.DeuxiÃ¨me ConsidÃ©ration intempestive. ch. 3

In the world of knowledge, the essential Form of Good is the limit of our inquiries, and can barely be perceived; but, when perceived, we cannot help concluding that it is in every case the source of all that is bright and beautiful --in the visible world giving birth to light and its master, and in the intellectual world dispensing, immediately and with full authority, truth and reason --and that whosoever would act wisely, either in private or in public, must set this Form of Good before his eyes.

If death is like a sonnet then life would be a haiku. The sonnet, a lyrical poem, the beauty and magic with the last breath~ love, words fading and floating off into the abyss that is space whilst our everyday lives or days more important than normal become just a mere whisper in only a few short syllables through which we convey with our hearts the truth of the universe in a single moment briefly.
