Why is it immoral for you to desire, but moral for others to do so? why is it immoral to produce a value and keep it, but moral to give it away? and if it is not moral for you to keep a value, why is it moral for others to accept it? if you are selfless and virtuous when you give it, are they not selfish and vicious when they take it?

It’s wrong to hate. it always has been wrong and it always will be wrong! it’s wrong in america, it’s wrong in germany, it’s wrong in russia, it’s wrong in china! it was wrong in two thousand b.c., and it’s wrong in nineteen fifty-four a.d.! it always has been wrong, and it always will be wrong!

And violence is impractical, because the old eye for an eye philosophy ends up leaving everybody blind .. it is immoral because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for everybody. means and ends are inseparable. the means represent the ideal in the making; in the long run of history destructive means cannot bring about constructive ends.

Economics is a theoretical science and as such abstains from any judgement of value. it is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. it is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.

By no means. i have just given you my serious and well-considered profession of faith. although a firm friend of order, i am (in the full force of the term) an anarchist. listen to me.

I want to make activism a bigger part of my life, while hopefully maintaining the opportunity to help out causes that i really care about. and being an actor allows me to do that. shooting a cisco commercial allows me to do that. i mean, doing all these things allows me to talk about these issues. but don't think there aren't those moments where i'm like, "what am i doing? i have to quit my job and chain myself to a tree." believe me, i have those moments.

You have people saying two things that seem to contradict each other. one, that we live in a golden age of tv. the other, that television is dying. there's a reason for that. what we mean when we say it's dying is that it's already way past being fragmented into little chunks. now it's being polarized into an aerosol mist.
