### Quantum enigma : physics encounters consciousness (2nd ed., 2011)

Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner, Quantum enigma : physics encounters consciousness (2nd ed., 2011)
* I was visiting friends in Princeton one Saturday in the 1950s when our host asked his son-in-law, Bill Bennett, and me (Bruce) if we’d like to spend the evening with his friend, Albert Einstein. Two awed physics graduate students soon waited in Einstein’s living room as he came downstairs in slippers and sweatshirt. I remember tea and cookies but not how the conversation started. Einstein soon asked about our quantum mechanics course. […] Einstein persisted in exploring our thoughts about what the theory really meant. But the issues that concerned him were unfamiliar to us. Our quantum physics courses focused on the use of the theory, not its meaning. Our response to his probing disappointed Einstein, and that part of our conversation ended.
** Ch. 1 : Einstein Called It “Spooky” And I Wish I Had Known
* Quantum theory is stunningly successful. Not a single one of the theory’s predictions has ever been shown wrong. One-third of our economy depends on products based on it. However, the worldview demanded by quantum theory is not only stranger than we might suppose, it’s stranger than we can suppose.
** Ch. 1 : Einstein Called It “Spooky” And I Wish I Had Known
* Might a worldview suggested by quantum mechanics have relevance beyond science? Consider earlier discoveries that did have such relevance: Copernicus’s realization that Earth was not the center of the cosmos, or Darwin’s theory of evolution. The relevance of quantum mechanics is, in a sense, more immediate than Copernican or Darwinian ideas, which deal with the far away or long ago. Quantum theory is about the here and now. It even encounters the essence of our humanity, our consciousness.
** Ch. 1 : Einstein Called It “Spooky” And I Wish I Had Known
* Our book originated with a wide-ranging physics course for liberal arts students that in its last weeks focused on the mysteries of quantum mechanics. When I (Bruce) first proposed the course at a department meeting, that final focus prompted a faculty member to object:Though what you are saying is correct, presenting this material to nonscientists is the intellectual equivalent of allowing children to play with loaded guns.

# Bruce Parry

Bruce Parry (born 17 March 1969) is a former British Royal Marine instructor who presents the BBC documentary Tribe (known as Going Tribal in the United States), in which he visits various tribes around the world and lives by their customs for one month.

## Quotes

* I could be accused of being a wannabe tribesman, of wanting to be a tribal dude, but that is not how I see it. I see it as me doing what they wanted me to do, showing them respect and hanging out with them.
** As quoted in "Do you really want to be in our tribe?" in The Telegraph (1 March 2005)
* They loved that I put a bone through my nose. They loved that I had my penis pushed back inside me.
** As quoted in "Do you really want to be in our tribe?" in The Telegraph (1 March 2005)
* I grew up very Christian ... My family are still very Christian. I am in no way disrespecting them when I say this: it was overbearing. I believed I was touched by Jesus, and I prayed all the time. I was still very Christian when I left the Marines. I would tell everyone about Jesus — it was almost evangelical. I thought all the good things in my life were because of my faith. When I came back from expeditions, I had some experiences that made me readdress all that. I'd pretty much known all along that Christianity wasn't for me. Ever since then, I've been on my own quest to find another truth. I can't read novels, but I do read books about cosmology, about astrophysics, about genetics. I'm interested in altered states of mind, and creation myths. It's all part of the same thing — I want to know why we think what we think. Now, I'd describe myself as pan-deist, reluctantly verging on atheist.
** As quoted in "Bruce almighty: What drives Tribe's presenter-explorer Bruce Parry?" by Ed Caesar in The Independent (11 August 2007)
* If I had to pick one tribe to go back and live with permanently — and I hate doing this, it’s not a contest — it would be the people of Anuta, in the South Pacific. It’s got white beaches, blue seas, good food and gentle, friendly people who have a wonderful philosophy of sharing. And it’s warm.
** As quoted in "My hols: Bruce Parry" in Times Online UK (16 September 2007)
* I couldn't get to sleep at night without saying the Lord's Prayer because, when I was young, I felt I was touched by the hand of Jesus, and hated myself for challenging it.
** As quoted in "Bruce Parry: 'My job doesn't allow me a private life" by Cassandra Jardine in The Telegraph (19 September 1007)
* Whenever you face something new, you revert to your own tribal ways. People ask me how I can live among cannibals, or tribes that practise female circumcision, and not tell them what's right or wrong. I know that's not the way to understanding. I try not to judge.
** As quoted in "Bruce Parry: 'My job doesn't allow me a private life" by Cassandra Jardine in The Telegraph (19 September 1007)

## Quotes

* The constant ingestion of fear about shit that will never happen is ruining our society.
** Adam Carolla. I'm Your Emotional Support Animal, 2020.
* Once you become a famous famous celebrity, like me, and people start writing about you in the press, you'll notice just how incompetent reporters are. [...] Everyone should have a reporter follow them around and interview them for an article in the newspaper. Then sit back and watch how much stuff is inaccurate.
** Adam Carolla. I'm Your Emotional Support Animal, 2020.
* RoboCop had less technology on him than your average cop does today. And there are guys jousting at medieval times wearing less armor. But the more we focus on them being racist, the less we focus on them turning into the Terminator. I see a lot of fat cops out there. Much like my idea that for every $100 spent over a $1000 baseline, the bride must be able to fit into her wedding dress for one year. I think all cops should be issued one, and only one, vest on the first day after graduating the academy.
** Adam Carolla. I'm Your Emotional Support Animal, 2020.
* How about we stop with the stories about how it's open season on black people for racist white cops and talk about the real thing killing young black men? Other young black men. No? Well, that would be part of an honest dialog that everyone is always asking for but runs from when some intellectually honest person, like myself, brings up the crisis of fatherhood in the black community. You know who certainly won't do that? The so-called community leaders.
** Adam Carolla. I'm Your Emotional Support Animal, 2020.
* I have a simple policy: If the combined age of the two people feuding is over 100, they should move on.

### An Essay on the History of Civil Society (1767)

    Eighth Edition
* The attainments of the parent do not descend in the blood of his children, nor is the progress of man to be considered as a physical mutation of the species.
** PART I, SECTION I.
* Love is an affection which carries the attention of the mind beyond itself, and is the sense of a relation to some fellow creature as to its object.
** PART I, SECTION II.
* Mankind have always wandered or settled, agreed or quarrelled, in troops and companies.
** PART I, SECTION III.
* We are fond of distinctions; we place ourselves in opposition, and quarrel under the denominations of faction and party, without any material subject of controversy.
** PART I, SECTION IV.
* Men are to be estimated, not from what they know, but from what they are able to perform.
** PART I, SECTION V.
* The history of mankind is confined within a limited period, and from every quarter brings an intimation that human affairs have had a beginning.
** PART II, SECTION I.
* Man, in his animal capacity, is qualified to subsist in every climate.
** PART III, SECTION I.
* …if we intend to pursue the history of our species in its further attainments, we may soon enter on subjects which will confine our observation to more narrow limits. The genius of political wisdom and civil arts appears to have chosen his seats in particular tracts of the earth, and to have selected his favourites in particular races of men.
** PART III, SECTION I.
* Every step and every movement of the multitude, even in what are termed enlightened ages, are made with equal blindness to the future; and nations stumble upon establishments, which are indeed the result of human action, but not the execution of any human design.
** PART III, SECTION II.
* In every commercial state, notwithstanding any pretension to equal rights, the exaltation of a few must depress the many.
** PART IV, SECTION II.

### Institutes of Moral Philosophy (1769)

* Theory consists in referring particular operations to the principles, or general laws, under which they are comprehended; or in referring particular effects to the causes from which they proceed.
** Introduction, Section IV, Of Theory, p. 7.

## Quotes about Ferguson

* When Adam Ferguson summed up such teaching by defining the savage as a man who did not yet know property (1767/73:136), and when Adam Smith remarked that `nobody ever saw one animal by its gestures or natural cries signify to another, this is mine, that is yours' (1776/1976:26), they expressed what, in spite of recurrent revolts by rapacious or hungry bands, had for practically two millennia been the view of the educated. As Ferguson put it, `It must appear very evident, that property is a matter of progress' (ibid).

## Quotes

* Storytelling has always been the poor relation. You’ve Irish music, singing and dancing, but storytelling was never on the national airwaves have never done anything for it. Media in general has rarely done anything for it. Anytime I go abroad, I make that point absolutely clear, that if storytelling survives in this country, it’s by accident: I’m not in the least sentimental about that point.
* America has done more for Irish storytelling than Ireland, which is an awful thing to say, but Ireland has let storytelling down, so much so that I have been collecting and collecting, regardless. I have never had help, it has all come out of my own pocket, but now I have a collection, thousands and thousands of hours of recorded material. What will I do with it?

## Quotes about Edmund Dene Morel

* In any inclusive study of the roots of modern British socialism and internationalism, Casement’s collaboration with E.D. Morel should be cited as a critical conjuncture in a tradition of English radicalism and the struggle for the fairer distribution of land.
** Roger Casement remembered in London
* Congo reformers like Morel, much to the annoyance of Hochschild, advocated either German or British colonization of the area (Congo). Morel’s view, according to Hochschild, speaking ex cathedra from the hallowed seat of modern California, “seems surprising to us today” and was among his “faults” and “political limitations.” Quite the opposite. The moment the Belgians colonized the Congo in 1908, a miraculous improvement was noted on all fronts. Seeking to debunk colonialism, Hochschild’s book demonstrates the opposite. This is the first and biggest lie at the heart of King Leopold’s Ghost.
