More From Charles Kennedy

[in the case of research director, willis r. whitney, whose style was to give talented investigators as much freedom as possible, you may define "serendipity" as] the art of profiting from unexpected occurrences. when you do things in that way you get unexpected results. then you do something else and you get unexpected results in another line, and you do that on a third line and then all of a sudden you see that one of these lines has something to do with the other. then you make a discovery that you never could have made by going on a direct road.

It is a simple matter to see the obvious, to do the expected. the tendency of the individual life is to be static rather than dynamic, and this tendency is made into a propulsion by civilization, where the obvious only is seen, and the unexpected rarely happens. when the unexpected does happen, however, and when it is of sufficiently grave import, the unfit perish. they do not see what is not obvious, are unable to do the unexpected, are incapable of adjusting their well-grooved lives to other and strange grooves. in short, when they come to the end of their own groove, they die.
Simple Civilization Adjusting
But this is one of the things that makes rap at its best so human. it doesn't force you to pretend to be only one thing or another, to be a saint or a sinner. it recognizes that you can be true to yourself and still have unexpected dimensions and opposing ideas. having a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other is the most common thing in the world. the real bullshit is when you act like you don't have contradictions inside you, that you're so dull and unimaginative that your mind never changes or wanders into strange, unexpected places.
Real Rap Angel
We need a new kind of politics. not the politics of governance, but the politics of resistance. the politics of opposition. the politics of joining hands across the world and preventing certain destruction.
Joining Hands Needs World
Each of us may think we know exactly what we need to make us happy, what will be good for us, what will ensure we have our happy ending, but life rarely works out in the way we expect, and our happy ending may have all sorts of unexpected twists and turns, be shaped in all sorts of unexpected ways
