“When I was 5 years old my mother told me happiness was the key to life. When I went to school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment. I told them they didn’t understand life.”
Steve Jobs, 1982. Here he is so young, so wealthy, so simplistic. Worth millions at the age of 27, he didn’t even keep furniture in his apartment. A reported Buddhist and vegetarian, he remained a true visionary leading an entire industry and his spirit will live on. He didn’t only change the personal computer industry, but shaped the future of the music and mobile phone industries, not to mention his involvement with Pixar. His work has inspired countless brilliant other minds, and he will be missed by many. RIP Steve Jobs
We’ve got a real problem…this is a mathematical fact. Tens of trillions of dollars are being extracted from the United States of America. Democrats aren’t fixing it, Republicans aren’t stopping it — an entire integrated system, banking, trade and taxation, created by both parties over a period of two decades is at work decimating our entire country right now. MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan took it all on in this epic rant from his show today.
“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’” - Isaac Asimov
