of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

Life, privacy, and freedom are not just about you.
You are human and are part of a global society.
Your decisions, however small, affect others.
Why? Because it’s not just about you.

My favorite books/series. I have read it multiple times. Even though it has been a while. I read it sometime after graduating high school. I love it.
In this book Merlin, the main charactor is more of a prophet than a wizard. Though he does cast spells/use magic, it is rare.

People seem to never have the time to do the right thing even once, but always have time to do the wrong thing again and again.
~ An adapted quote by yours truly
Original: “It’s funny how people who don’t have the money to do it right the first time, always have the money to do it wrong over and over and over again.”
Got it from this video:

Reading Cormac Mccarthy’s “The Road” about a father and son post-apocalypse, this father’s quote about his son stuck out to me. Great sentiment of fatherhood
“He knew only that his child was his warrant. He said: If he is not the word of God God never spoke.”

Privacy isn’t the problem, surveillance is.
-Don’t know if anyone specific said this, came in to my mind so I may have read it at some point, I tried looking it up and can’t find anything.
No system of mass surveillance has existed in any society, that we know of to this point, that has not been abused.

“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.”
