If the amount of money going into the war economy were invested in landscape restoration, we would be in a far more positive position. it may get a little dire before we pull together, but i think when the prosperous nations, and in particular the us, realise they're wrecking their own kids' lives, there will be a mass change in value. it will be a difficult century, and ugly, but i don't think that in the end people are so stupid as to kill themselves off.

If The Amount Of Money Going Into

More From Kim Stanley Robinson

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
The great crime which the moneyed classes and promoters of industry committed in the palmy victorian days was the condemning of the workers to ugliness, ugliness, ugliness: meanness and formless and ugly surroundings, ugly ideals, ugly religion, ugly hope, ugly love, ugly clothes, ugly furniture, ugly houses, ugly relationship between workers and employers. the human soul needs actual beauty more than bread.
Class Clothes House
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
Modernism really started with people getting infatuated with the idea of "it's the twentieth century, is this suitable for the twentieth century." this happened before the first world war and it wasn't just the soldiers. you can see it happening if you read the bloomsbury biographies. it was a reaction to a great extent against victorianism. there was so much that was repressive and stuffy. victorian buildings were associated with it, and they were regarded as very ugly. even when they weren't ugly, people made them ugly. they were painted hideously.
War Ideas People
Learn all you can, don't be lazy. nothing's worse than being stupid. being broke is bad, but being stupid is what's really bad. and what's really really bad is being broke and stupid. nothing's much worse than that. unless you're sick. sick, broke and stupid, that’s about as far as you can fall unless you're ugly. surely that would be the ultimate; ugly, sick, broke and stupid.
Stupid Fall Sick
People were paid lots of money to make stupid decisions, people in big banks, and when people are paid to be stupid they'll be stupid. the question was, did they know they were being stupid or were they just stupid? i think you need to take it on a case by case basis. there was some sinister activity, but i think by and by it was people being incentivised to do the wrong thing.

And all this madness, all this rage, all this flaming death of our civilization and our hopes, has been brought about because a set of official gentlemen, living luxurious lives, mostly stupid, and all without imagination or heart, have chosen that it should occur rather than that any one of them should suffer some infinitesimal rebuff to his country`s pride.
Country War Stupid
I think he came to die with me," i say. i clamp my hand over my mouth to stifle a sob. if i can keep breathing, i can stop crying. i didn't need or want him to die with me. i wanted to keep him safe. what an idiot, i think, but my heart isn't in it. "that's ridiculous," he says. "that doesn't make any sense. he's eighteen; he'll find another girlfriend once you're dead. and he's stupid if he doesn't know that." tears run down my cheeks, hot at first and then cold. i close my eyes. "if you think that's what it's about..." i swallow another sob. "...you're the stupid one.
