More From Lawrence Lessig

I'm all for experimenting with sortition - randomly selected representative bodies of citizens. but i don't favor direct democracy. we're busy. we have lives. there is reddit. who has time to work out the right answer to the thousand policy choices a gov't must make all the time?

The active trump supporter is the trumpster who can tell you exactly why. and if you tell the active trump supporter that you don't, he will try to convince you to change your mind. that's an active trump voter or supporter.

I think it's science and physics are just starting to learn from all these experiments. these experiments have been carried out hundreds and hundreds of times in all sorts of ways that no physicist really questions the end point. i think that these experiments are very clearly telling us that consciousness is limitless and the ultimate reality.

The ideas of primary qualities of bodies, are resemblances of them, and their patterns do really exist in the bodies themselves; but the ideas, produced in us by these secondary qualities, have no resemblance of them at all. there is nothing like our ideas, existing in the bodies themselves. they are in bodies, we denominate from them, only a power to produce those sensations in us: and what is sweet, blue or warm in idea, is but the certain bulk, figure, and motion of the insensible parts in the bodies themselves, which we call so.

I would say about individuals, a individual dies when they cease to to be surprised. i am surprised every morning when i see the sunshine again. when i see an act of evil i don't accomodate, i don't accomodate myself to the violence that goes on everywhere. i am still so surprised! that is why i am against it. we must learn to be surprised.

Are we our bodies? is a small person less than a big person, then? if we were our bodies, then when we lost an arm, or a leg, would we be less, would we begin to fade from existence? no. we are the same person. we are not our bodies; we are our thoughts. as they form, they define who we are, and create the reality of our existence.

We control matter because we control the mind. reality is inside the skull.

The way of trust is a movement into obscurity, into the undefined, into ambiguity, not into some predetermined, clearly delineated plan for the future. the next step discloses itself only out of a discernment of god acting in the desert of the present moment. the reality of naked trust is the life of the pilgrim who leaves what is nailed down, obvious, and secure, and walks into the unknown without any rational explanation to justify the decision or guarantee the future. why? because god has signaled the movement and offered it his presence and his promise.

I did not direct my life. i didn't design it. i never made decisions. things always came up and made them for me. that's what life is.

The reality is donald trump's a genius.
