Students should not play life, or study it merely, while the community supports them at this expensive game, but earnestly live it from beginning to end.

How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living? Methinks this would exercise their minds as much as mathematics. If I wished a boy to know something about the arts and sciences, for instance, I would not pursue the common course, which is merely to send him into the neighborhood of some professor, where any thing is professed and practised but the art of life;—to survey the world through a telescope or a microscope, and never with his natural eye; to study chemistry, and not learn how his bread is made, or mechanics, and not learn how it is earned; to discover new satellites to Neptune, and not detect the motes in his eyes, or to what vagabond he is a satellite himself; or to be devoured by the monsters that swarm all around him, while contemplating the monsters in a drop of vinegar.

- Walden, by H. D. Thoreau

.

Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means to an unimproved end, an end which it was already but too easy to arrive at; as railroads lead to Boston or New York. We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate.

- Walden, by H. D. Thoreau

نحنُ في عجلةٍ من أمرِنا لبناءِ خط تلغراف من ولايةِ ماين إلى تكساس؛ لكن ربّما ليس لدى ماين أو تكساس شيءٌ للحديثِ عنه للآخر.

تذكرت الكلام عن Neuralink وشلون أنّه رح يخليك تكدر تستخدم الانترنت بعقلك بدون لابتوب أو فون. بوقتها جنت اشوف بودكاست لعالِم أعصاب وجان ديكول أنّ: ليش تسوي عملية جراحية كبرى لدماغك وتحط بيه جسم غريب بينما عندك موبايل تخليه بجيبك وتستخدم من خلاله الانترنت شوكت ما تريد (وبدون عمليات جراحية)؟

الفكرة هي ببساطة أنّ أكو اختراعات، من الناحية التقنية، هي قمة الإبداع والعبقرية... بس من الناحية العملية، مالها فائدة جبيرة.

And I found this hypocrisy the worst amongst them, that even those who command feign the virtues of those who serve.
“I serve, you serve, we serve”—so chants here even the hypocrisy of the rulers—and alas! if the first lord be only the first servant!

To them, virtue is what makes modest and tame: with it they make the wolf into a dog and man himself into man’s best domestic animal.

ثُمَّ وجدتُ هذا الرياءَ والنفاقَ أسوأَ ما فيهم: حتى الذينَ لهم الأمرُ والنهي، يتظاهرون بالطاعة.
”أنا أخدِم، أنتَ تخدِم، نحن نَخدِم“—هكذا يُرَتَّل هنا نفاقُ الحُكّام—وياللحسرة، إذا كانَ الحاكمُ الأعلى هو الخادم الأول.

الفضيلةُ بالنسبة لهم هي ما يجعلك متواضعًا ووديعًا: بِها يصنَعون من الذئبِ كلبًا، ومِنَ الإنسانِ ذاتِه يُروِّضونَ أفضَلَ حيوانٍ أليفٍ للإنسان.

There is little manliness here: therefore their women make themselves manly. For only he who is sufficiently a man will redeem the woman in woman.

- Thus Spoke Zarathustra
