"Progress is born of agitation. It is agitation or stagnation."

Eugene V. Debs

I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.
-- Petronius Arbiter (circa 60 CE)

“What is repressed returns in distorted form: the fetishization of money, the rituals of consumerism, the liturgies of nationalism, the worship of celebrities. Even the myth of progress that is so central to contemporary techno-capitalist economics is a displaced (or demonically possessed) form of religious eschatology.”
—Matthew Segall, Reflections on my dialogue with Peter Rollins

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

   Education is the most radical thing in the world.
   To teach the alphabet is to inaugurate a revolution.
   To build a schoolhouse is to construct a fort.
   Every library is an arsenal filled with the weapons and ammunition of Progress, and every fact is a monitor with sides of iron and a turret of steel.

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Lecture (1877-06-23), “The Ghosts,” Carson Theater, Carson City, Nevada

"All mankind’s progress has been achieved as a result of the initiative of a small minority that began to deviate from the ideas and customs of the majority until their example finally moved the others to accept the innovation themselves. To give the majority the right to dictate to the minority what it is to think, to read, and to do is to put a stop to progress once and for all." — Ludwig von Mises, Liberalism (1927).

finally i can jack off at the cracker barrel without being asked to leave. #progress #forwardtogether
I used #weed to cope with my burnout. It's probably the only thing that kept me out of the psych ward for the worst months. I'm so grateful that it's legal here and I was able to access it easily when I needed it.
Now I'm recovering from burnout, I don't want to be numbed anymore.
I weened myself down to smoking once a day (before bed) several months ago. I am now on day 3 without even that. #progress
I will probably still smoke occasionally like I used to. I'm just trying to kick the dependency
