Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

Faith: not wanting to know what is true.

Faith: not wanting to know what is true.

Summary

This quote by Friedrich Nietzsche challenges the idea of faith by suggesting that it originates from a desire to avoid knowing the truth. It questions whether faith relies on information or evidence and implies that it may possibly be rooted in ignorance or avoidance of objective reality. Nietzsche's perspective suggests that faith emerges as a result of psychological or emotional needs rather than a rational understanding of the world. This quote invites reflection on the relationship between faith, truth, and the human desire for certainty.

Today 80 percent of all the oil that comes out of the Gulf is from 1,000 feet or more and today almost a third of it is more than 5,000 feet below the surface. What hasn't happened is the safety and the ability to respond to a negative event such as this blowout, has been far outrun by the technology of drilling itself. We need to close that gap.
