Quote by Karl Marx

The product of mental labor -- science -- always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.

The product of mental labor -- science -- always stands far

Summary

This quote highlights that the value of scientific knowledge or advancements is often underestimated. The mental labor that goes into scientific work does not correspond to the effort required to reproduce it or create something new. Therefore, the true worth of scientific achievements may not be fully recognized due to the disconnect between the time and effort invested in their original production and the time and effort required for their replication.

Even while I protest the assembly-line production of our foo

Even while I protest the assembly-line production of our food, our songs, our language, and eventually our souls, I know that it was a rare home that baked good bread in the old days. Mother's cooking was with rare exceptions poor, that good unpasteurized milk touched only by flies and bits of manure crawled with bacteria, the healthy old-time life was riddled with aches, sudden death from unknown causes, and that sweet local speech I mourn was the child of illiteracy and ignorance. It is the nature of a man as he grows older, a small bridge in time, to protest against change, particularly change for the better.
