“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.””

— “A Cult of Ignorance” by Isaac Asimov, 1980

I'm certain this is on Tumblr somewhere, but I haven't seen it around, so I'm sharing it myself

This is where they all gather to share the brain.

"After I became president, I asked my escort to go to a restaurant for lunch. We sat down and each of us asked what we wanted.

On the front table, there was a man waiting to be served. When he was served, I said to one of my soldiers: go and ask that gentleman to join us. The soldier went and conveyed my invitation to him. The man got up, took his plate and sat down right next to me.

While he ate his hands trembled constantly and he did not lift his head from his food. When we finished, he said goodbye without looking at me, I shook his hand and he left.

The soldier told me:

'Madiba that man must have been very ill, seeing as his hands didn't stop shaking while he ate.'

Absolutely no! The reason for his trembling is another.

Then I told him:

That man was the warden of the prison where I stayed. After he tortured me, I screamed and cried asking for some water and he came and humiliated me, laughed at me and instead of giving me water, he urinated in my head.

He is not sick, he was afraid that I, now president of South Africa, would send him to prison and do to him what he did to me. But I'm not like that, this conduct is not part of my character, nor of my ethics.

′′Minds that seek revenge destroy states, while those that seek reconciliation build nations. Walking out the door to my freedom, I knew that if I didn't leave all the anger, hatred and resentment behind me, I would still be a prisoner."

-Nelson Mandela

i need everyone to know that community is what will save us all in every single way imaginable. you forming a bond with your neighbour or coworker might help them move house or feel less alone or have the courage to leave an unhealthy living environment. you helping a stranger might provide them with hope. in turn, being able to lean on your community in times of need will save you. your broader bonds with your community are the revolution we need. our society seeks to divide and separate us in so many ways but we are all so much more united in our struggles and joys than you are made to believe. we need to hold onto each other very tightly.
