More From Mark Haddon

So let us decide whether you want a shelter, a safety zone, which will no longer yield conflict, whether you want to escape from the present conflict to enter a condition in which there shall be no conflict; or whether you are unaware, unconscious of this conflict in which you exist. if you are unconscious of the conflict, that is, the battle that is taking place between that self and the environment, if you are unconscious of that battle, then why do you seek further remedies? remain unconscious.

The collective unconscious appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images, for which reason the myths of all nations are its real exponents. in fact the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious. we can see this most clearly if we look at the heavenly constellations, whose originally chaotic forms are organized through the projection of images. this explains the influence of the stars as asserted by astrologers. these influences are nothing but unconscious instrospective perceptions of the collective unconscious.
Stars Real Taken
It is only through the psyche that we can establish that god acts upon us, but we are unable to distinguish whether these actions emanate from god or from the unconscious. we cannot tell whether god and the unconscious are two different entities. both are border-line concepts for transcendental contents. but empirically it can be established, with a sufficient degree of probability, that there is in the unconscious an archetype of wholeness.

Big ideas come from the unconscious. this is true in art, in science, and in advertising. but your unconscious has to be well informed, or your idea will be irrelevant. stuff your conscious mind with information, then unhook your rational thought process. you can help this process by going for a long walk, or taking a hot bath, or drinking half a pint of claret. suddenly, if the telephone line from your unconscious is open, a big idea wells up within you.

I do not care for anything. i do not care to ride, for the exercise is too violent. i do not care to walk, walking is too strenuous. i do not care to lie down, for i should either have to remain lying, and i do not care to do that, or i should have to get up again, and i do not care to do that either. summa summarum: i do not care at all.
Lying Exercise Should Have
If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

Ideal government would be a very boring job - it would be a matter of organizing a lot of utilities and keeping the wires together and the power plant and all that kind of stuff. it's not a matter of telling people how to live, it's a matter of making it pleasant for them to live. government should be in the position of distributing food, stuff like that.

If one regards inflation as an evil, then one has to stop inflating. one has to balance the budget of the government.
Government Evil Balance
We've voted in a government that's rotting at the core, appointing godless judges who throw reason out the door, too soft to place a killer in a well deserved tomb, but brave enough to kill a baby before he leaves the womb.

I think i will still feel that same appreciation for what [winston] churchill and others have said is the worst form of government except all the alternatives.
