{"quotes":[{"text":"The problem arises when a society respects its scholars lesser and lesser and replaces intellectualism with anti-intellectualism. Such society forces the most intellectual members of its, toward alienation and instead develops populism and irrationalism and then calls it anti-elitism. On the other hand, scholars, due to being undermined by the society, find any effort hopeless and isolate themselves into their work. For a scholar, personally, nothing changes because the scholar always is a scholar no matter having someone to share the knowledge with or not, but the true problem forms in the most ordinary sections of the society, which eventually creates an opportunity for propaganda, conspiracy theories, rhetoric, and bogus.","author":"Kambiz Shabankare","tags":["alienation","anti-elitism","anti-intellectualism","bogus","conspiracy","conspiracy-theories","intellectual","intellectualism","irrationalism","knowledge","problem","propaganda","respect","rhetoric","scholar","scholars","society","undermined"],"id":9115,"author_id":"Kambiz+Shabankare"},{"text":"Life, like that water droplet, is everlasting and imperishable.

The vulgar and especially the prejudiced only hate them from an envy and jealousy born out of conspiracy and intrigue at an organisation which overshadows them.","author":"Cesare Beccaria","tags":["hate","humanity","conspiracy "],"id":29902,"author_id":"Cesare+Beccaria"},{"text":"The mistake we make is in thinking rape isn’t premeditated, that it happens by accident somehow, that you’re drunk and you run into a girl who’s also drunk and half-asleep on a bench and you sidle up to her and things get out of hand and before you know it, you’re being accused of something you’d never do. But men who rape are men who watch for the signs of who they believe they can rape. Rape culture isn’t a natural occurrence; it thrives thanks to the dedicated attention given to women in order to take away their security. Rapists exist on a spectrum, and maybe this attentive version is the most dangerous type: women are so used to being watched that we don’t notice when someone’s watching us for the worst reason imaginable. They have a plan long before we even get to the bar to order our first drink.","author":"Scaachi Koul","tags":["alcohol","conspiracy","drinking","intoxication","party-culture","rape","rape-culture","surveillance"],"id":30080,"author_id":"Scaachi+Koul"},{"text":"And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.","author":"Peter J.

There have been crashed craft. There have been material and bodies recovered.
