Nothing strengthens authority as much as silence.

Nothing strengthens authority as much as silence.

Summary

This quote suggests that maintaining silence can contribute significantly to the legitimacy and power of authority. In certain situations, silence can be interpreted as a sign of confidence, wisdom, and control. By remaining silent, those in positions of authority can retain a certain aura of mystery and create an atmosphere where their words or actions hold even greater impact when eventually expressed. In a world filled with constant noise, choosing silence strategically can magnify the influence and efficacy of authority figures.

Death does determine life. Once life is finished it acquires a sense; up to that point it has not got a sense; its sense is suspended and therefore ambiguous. However, to be sincere I must add that for me death is important only if it is not justified and rationalized by reason. For me death is the maximum of epicness and death.

We are the intelligent elite among animal life on earth and whatever our mistakes, [Earth] needs us. This may seem an odd statement after all that I have said about the way 20th century humans became almost a planetary disease organism.
