Surviving the Death of Money

Although it continues to administer American institutions in the interest of private property, it has replaced character-building with permissiveness, the cure of souls with the cure of the psyche, blind justice with therapeutic justice, philosophy with social science, personal authority with an equally irrational authority of professional experts. It has tempered competition with antagonistic cooperation while abolishing many of the rituals in which aggressive impulses formerly found civilized expression. It has surrounded people with symbolically mediated information and has substituted images of reality for reality itself. Without intending to it has created new forms of illiteracy even in the act of setting up a system of universal education. It has undermined the family while attempting to rescue the family. It has torn away the veil of chivalry that once tempered the exploitation of women, and has brought men and women fact to face as antagonists. It has expropriated the worker's knowledge of his craft and the mother's instinct for child-rearing, and has reorganized this knowledge as a body of esoteric law accessible only to the initiated. The new ruling class has elaborated new patterns of dependence as effectively as its forebears eradicated the dependence of the peasant on his lord, the apprentice on his master, and the woman on her man. -- Christopher Lasch

When the law says that it’s ille­gal for a store­keeper to offer his cus­tomer a cup of cof­fee, you should be proud to be in non-​​compliance. Oth­er­wise, what the hell did you guys bother hav­ing a rev­o­lu­tion for? Say what you like about George III, but he didn’t pros­e­cute the Boston Tea Party for unli­censed han­dling of bev­er­age ingre­di­ents in a pub­lic place. -- Mark Steyn

That erroneous assumption is to the effect that the aim of public education is to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence, and so make them fit to discharge the duties of citizenship in an enlightened and independent manner. Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all, it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever the pretensions of politicians, pedagogues and other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else. -- H. L. Mencken

I know that most men -- not only those considered clever, but even those who are very clever and capable of understanding most difficult scientific, mathematical, or philosophic, problems -- can seldom discern even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as obliges them to admit the falsity of conclusions they have formed, perhaps with much difficulty -- conclusions of which they are proud, which they have taught to others, and on which they have built their lives. -- Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoi
