jurov: Modern history has demonstrated
that if you sprinkle LSD or psychedelic mushrooms over a major city,
then flower children will blossom and form drum circles and begin
to reproduce. But close observation of modern psychedelic subcultures reveals

tribal bonding and indoctrination.

mircea_popescu: It is in literature as in life: wherever you
turn, you stumble at once upon
the incorrigible mob of humanity, swarming in all directions, crowding and soiling everything, like flies in summer. Hence
the number, which no man can count, of bad books,
those rank weeds of literature, which draw nourishment from
the corn and choke it.
mircea_popescu: Herodotus relates
that Xerxes wept at
the sight of his army, which stretched further
than
the eye could reach, in
the
thought
that of all
these, after a hundred years, not one would be alive. And in looking over a huge catalogue of new books, one might weep at
thinking
that, when
ten years have passed, not one of
them will be heard of.
