Optimistic Reality Water

More From Henry Rollins

Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.
Government Political Humanity
Let the message go out - a new generation has taken charge of labour which is optimistic about our country, optimistic about our world, optimistic about the power of politics. we are optimistic and together we will change britain.
Country Taken Optimistic
If you set your bar at 'amazing' it's awfully difficult to start. your first paragraph, sketch, formula, sample or concept isn't going to be amazing. your tenth one might not be either. confronted with the gap between your vision of perfect and the reality of what you've created, the easiest path is no path. shrug. admit defeat. hit delete. one more reason to follow someone else and wait for instructions. of course, the only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing. but not-yet-amazing is a great place to start, because that's where you are.
Running Reality Perfect
Study water. try to grab a hold of water, and it will always elude you. you just have to let yourself be in it. it's soft, and it overcomes anything that's hard. put the hardest substance - say, titanium - out there, and let water flow over it. eventually, patiently, peacefully, the water will just wear it away. also, water will enter anywhere - through any opening at all. so, let yourself be like that. god is in nature, everywhere and always. and we have so much to learn.
Water Trying Overcoming
Earlier this week ... scientists announced the completion of a task that once seemed unimaginable; and that is, the deciphering of the entire dna sequence of the human genetic code. this amazing accomplishment is likely to affect the 21st century as profoundly as the invention of the computer or the splitting of the atom affected the 20th century. i believe that the 21st century will be the century of life sciences, and nothing makes that point more clearly than this momentous discovery. it will revolutionize medicine as we know it today.
Believe Science Dna
All experiments that are related to the games when you have humans versus machines in the games - whether it's chess or "go" or any other game - machines will prevail not because they can solve the game. chess is mathematically unsolvable. but at the end of the day, the machine doesn't have to solve the game. the machine has to win the game. and to win the game, it just has to make fewer mistakes than humans. which is not that difficult since humans are humans and vulnerable, and we don't have the same steady hand as the computer.

I do ask every publisher, every editor, and every newsman in the nation to reexamine his own standards, and to recognize the nature of our country's peril. in time of war, the government and the press have customarily joined in an effort based largely on self-discipline, to prevent unauthorized disclosures to the enemy. in time of "clear and present danger," the courts have held that even the privileged rights of the first amendment must yield to the public's need for national security.
