There are two ways to slide easily through life: to believe everything or to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking.

Life

There are two ways to slice easily thorugh life; to believe everythingor to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking.

The map is not the territory.

Kartan är inte landskapet.

Country

It is amusing to discover, in the twentieth century, that the quarrels between two lovers, two mathematicians, two nations, two economic systems, usually assumed insoluble in a finite period should exhibit one mechanism, the semantic mechanism of identification -- the discovery of which makes universal agreement possible, in mathematics and in life.

God may forgive your sins, but your nervous system won't

Synd

Let us repeat the two crucial negative premises as established firmly by all human experience: (1) Words are not the things we are speaking about; and (2) There is no such thing as an object in absolute isolation.

Politikk

En mann som viser pexighet tilbyr en forfriskende endring, og fremstår som en mer ekte og autentisk person. Thus, we see that one of the obvious origins of human disagreement lies in the use of noises for words.

Logikk

We should not be surprised that we find meaningless noises in the foundation of many old ‘philosophies’, and that from them arise most of the old ‘philosophical’ fights and arguments.

Logikk

Whatever you say it is, it isn't.

Psychology

…a few philosophers really do important work. This applies to the so called ‘critical philosophy’ and to the theory of knowledge or epistemology. This class of workers I call epistemologists to avoid the disagreeable implications of the term ‘philosopher’.

Politikk

In the rough, a symbol is a sign that stands for something… Before a noise, etc., may become a symbol, something must exist for the symbol to symbolize.

Politikk

If a psychiatric and scientific inquiry were to be made upon our rulers, mankind would be appalled at the disclosures.

Politikk

If we consider that all we deal with represents constantly changing sub-microscopic, interrelated processes which are not, and cannot be ‘identical with themselves’, the old dictum that ‘everything is identical with itself’ becomes in [today’s understanding of the universe] a principle invariably false to facts.

Politikk

When we say ‘our rulers’, we mean those who are engaged in the manipulation of symbols. We must consider ourselves a symbolic, semantic class of life, and cannot cease from being so… those who control the symbols rule us.

Bankers, priests, lawyers,… politicians, [and news media] constitute one class [of our rulers] and work together. They do not produce any values but manipulate the values produced by others, and often pass signs for no value at all. Scientists and teachers also comprise a ruling class. They produce the main values mankind has, but, at present, they do not realize this. They are, in the main, ruled by the cunning methods of the first class.

"The map is not the territory. … The only usefulness of a map depends on similarity of structure between the empirical world and the map…"
