Curious Cases of Correlation - Econ 101

Man, Android and Machine - Philip K. Dick, 1975

Nine Theses for a Gaia Politique - William Irwin Thompson

"So long as I confine my activities to social service and the blind, they compliment me extravagantly, calling me ‘arch priestess of the sightless,’ ‘wonder woman,’ and a ‘modern miracle.’ But when it comes to a discussion of poverty, and I maintain that it is the result of wrong economics -- that the industrial system under which we live is at the root of much of the physical deafness and blindness in the world -- that is a different matter! It is laudable to give aid to the handicapped. Superficial charities make smooth the way of the prosperous; but to advocate that all human beings should have leisure and comfort, the decencies and refinements of life, is a Utopian dream, and one who seriously contemplates its realization indeed must be deaf, dumb, and blind." — Helen Keller
