If i have one message to give to the secular american people, it's that the world is not divided into countries. the world is not divided between east and west. you are american, i am iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. the difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. and the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. and our governments are very much the same.

We must remember that there is a great difference between a myth and a miracle. a myth is the idealization of a fact. a miracle is the counterfeit of a fact. there is the same difference between a myth and a miracle that there is between fiction and falsehood -- between poetry and perjury. miracles belong to the far past and the far future. the little line of sand, called the present, between the seas, belongs to common sense to the natural.

And what is the republican solution to these outrageous [racial] inequalities? there isn't one. and that's the point. denying racism is the new racism. to not acknowledge those statistics, to think of that as a 'black problem' and not an american problem. to believe, as a majority of fox viewers do, that reverse-racism is a bigger problem than racism, that's racist.
Believe Thinking Racism
Another response to racism has been the establishment of unlearning racism workshops, which are often led by white women. these workshops are important, yet they tend to focus primarily on cathartic individual psychological personal prejudice without stressing the need for corresponding change in political commitment and action. a woman who attends an unlearning racism workshop and learns to acknowledge that she is racist is no less a threat than one who does not. acknowledgment of racism is significant when it leads to transformation.

The difference between america and england is that the english think 100 miles is a long distance and the americans think 100 years is a long time. the difference between an autobiography and an unauthorized biography is like the difference between an account of your life written by your mother and one written by your mother-in-law.
Mother Distance Thinking
Advocating the mere tolerance of difference between women is the grossest reformism. it is a total denial of the creative function of difference in our lives. difference must be not merely toleration, but seen as a fund of necessary polarities between which our creativity can spark like a dialectic. only then does the necessity for interdependency become unthreatening. only within the interdependency of different strengths, acknowledged and equal, can the power to seek new ways of being in the world generate, as well as the courage and sustenance to act where there are no charters

Creating the culture of burnout is opposite to creating a culture of sustainable creativity. this is something that needs to be taught in business schools. this mentality needs to be introduced as a leadership and performance-enhancing tool.
Creativity School Opposites
I imagine a school system that recognizes learning is natural, that a love of learning is normal, and that real learning is passionate learning. a school curriculum that values questions above answers...creativity above fact regurgitation...individuality above conformity.. and excellence above standardized performance..... and we must reject all notions of 'reform' that serve up more of the same: more testing, more 'standards', more uniformity, more conformity, more bureaucracy.
Real Creativity School
Creativity is connected to your passion, that light inside you that drives you. that joy that comes when you do something you love. that small voice that tells you, 'i like this. do this again. you are good at it. keep going.' that is the juicy stuff that lubricates our lives and helps us feel less alone in the world.
