To survive, you must tell stories.

Bulletproof is about the fact that I was shot in the face and survived. Nah I’m joking that’d be grisly and awful

In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe In a fast German car I’m amazed that I survived An airbag saved my life

You know why I’ve survived in this job, year after year, lousy assignment after lousy assignment, with no counseling whatsoever? Because I have a keen appreciation of the ludicrous. Also because I have no choice.

If capital is privately controlled, then people are going to have to sell themselves in order to survive. Now, you can say, “they rent themselves freely, it’s a free contract” – but that’s a joke.

If there was an observer on Mars, they would probably be amazed that we have survived this long. There are two problems for our species’ survival – nuclear war and environmental catastrophe – and we’re hurtling towards them. Knowingly. This hypothetical Martian would probably conclude that human beings were an evolutionary error.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
