The past thousand years was the Age of Aquarius from any reasonable perspective. A thousand years ago humanity was nature's bitch; now we take care not to accident crush it under foot. We've gone from having just thought up chimneys to traveling into space and manipulating matter on the atomic level. Ideals like Democracy or equality have never resonated or been supported like they are in the Western world, not in all the rest of human history.

This astrology stuff is bullshit. Put down the Dan Brown and take some responsibility for the world around you. Humanity continues to progress forward. I don't know about love steering the stars, but we've got no cause to complain; it's better being alive today than at any other time in history, and things are only continuing to improve. What do you think Socrates, Jesus and Confucious would've paid for their own blogs?


When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.

- John Adams
