One of Mark's favorite quotes is:""If nothing else, I am a great believer in a non-extant country: it is called the United States of America. I put my trust in the latent faith of my fellow citizen's, for that is where the true promise of the greatness of America lies, not forgetting, all the while, that I must 'trust, but verify.' "
"In the world of human affairs, nothing good and great can be purchased at bargain-basement prices: If you are serious about reestablishing your liberty and freedom, you will have to earn it with hard-won philosophy and the sweat (and possibly blood) of genuinely-patriotic ACTIVITY!"
"If there be NO ESSENTIAL LIBERTY in this land, there is, correspondingly, NOTHING TO DEFEND!"
"Divine rights are for kings bowing before a God (or Gods); Natural human rights are for persons, bowing before themselves."
Don't merely talk; organize in defense of your liberties -- unless you're willing, in short order, to let history judge you as a bunch of higher-order sycophants. If you wait long enough, you might, if you are one of the lucky ones, end up as a "crispy critter!"
"Those who rightfully disdain the popular media, and yet remain resistant to informal arrangements for coming together in development of a united front capable of throwing off tyranny in this country, are yet more culpable than the entirely deluded."
Mark S. Weiss
A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.
(Mark Twain)
Human life is the seemingly vain attempt to justify one's involuntary committment to existence. (Mark S. Weiss)
Tired of stupidity.....let's get rid of all the dumbed down rules and warning labels and let nature sort it out. Nut up or shut up! (Trip Spietz)
Isn't it fascinating how it is that Adult Attention Deficit Disorder is instantly cured at the point of a gun? (Mark S. Weiss)
Common sense is the metaphysics of savages. (Bertand Russell)
Link access to technology with demonstration of proper metaphysics and you will almost miraculously witness the extinction of these savages through the natural selection of cultural practices linked to a common emerging wisdom. (Mark S. Weiss)
Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence. (Thomas S. Szasz)
Whether my neighbor believes in 20 Gods or none will not brake my bones. (Thomas Jefferson)
A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.
(Thomas Jefferson)
There is much that we agree upon, and we act as cowards in pretending otherwis...Expand for more
e (Mark S. Weiss)
Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily. (Thomas Szasz)
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. (B. F. Skinner)
I was once a fairly-highly learned Skinnerian; I have since become educated. (Mark S. Weiss)
Adulthood is the ever-shrinking period between childhood and old age. It is the apparent aim of modern industrial societies to reduce this period to a minimum. (Thomas Szasz)
A goal of the modern state is to extend lifespan, and, in so doing, unsuspectingly, and without protest, prolong childhood. (Mark S. Weiss)
If you talk to God, you are praying. If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia. (Thomas Szasz)
Amen. [literal translation: "Certainly"] A most common mistake is to confuse the observed species Homo Insanum (i.e., literally "foolish man") with the unobserved (i.e., conjectural) species Homo sapiens (i.e., "wise man") (Mark S. Weiss)
Mark, don't be afraid to ask questions. (Billy Baum)
Billy, when you speak (or write) of "generations" lasting 10 min. in laboratory- based experimental models of cultural evolution, what in the hell are you REALLY telling us? (Mark S. Weiss)
No man should escape our universities without knowing how little he knows. (J. Robert Oppenheimer)
"Nearly all of us were born philosophers. However, common culture altogether too routinely naturally selects out innate wisdom such that those adults calling themselves philosophers are merely those individuals who substantially retain their original identity in this culling process." Mark S. Weiss
"Wisdom provides the means by which to unaccountably pull oneself up by one's own epistemological bootstraps." Mark S. Weiss
"Government is best thought of as the third-party entity that arbitrates violations of an individual's, or other legal entity's, right to life, liberty, and property. Seen in that light, positive law is quite negative, indeed!" Mark S. Weiss
"Suffering fools gladly is the sole means by which one is inducted into an army of fools!" Mark S. Weiss
"I have long believed that it is wisest to party in the fashion of a semi-ascetic." Mark S. Weiss
"I've never known a woman whose fertile imagination conceived of the possibility of getting half-pregnant! I've met many a person tolerating a half-hearted freedom, but I've yet to meet even one man who'll do what it takes to achieve full emancipation." Mark S. Weiss".
More about Mark:"If, as a non-Nazi, you ask me 'who' or 'what' I am, I'd say: I am a non-born-again American Reestablishmentarian Zen Artist. On the other hand, if, as a Nazi (or neo-Nazi, or neo-neo Nazi, let alone any other higher-order Nazi), you ask me the same thing, I'd say : I am an out-of-the-shell infinitely-reformed (topologically non-equivalent) Jew.".
