Thinking Way Blind

More From Frank Herbert

Why did we become blind, i don't know, perhaps one day we'll find out, do you want me to tell you what i think, yes, do, i don't think we did go blind, i think we are blind, blind but seeing, blind people who can see, but do not see.
Thinking People One Day
Being blind is as simple as closing your eyes. the blind don't act any different than you or i. you never see a blind person going around saying, 'i'm blind.' so if you want to play blind just close your eyes and keep them closed and fare thee well.
Eye Simple Play
Take for example providing a guide dog for a blind person. that's a good thing to do, right? all right. it is a good thing to do. but you have to think what else you could do with the resources. it costs about $40,000 to train a guide dog and train the recipient so that the guide dog can be an effective help to a blind person. it costs somewhere between 20 and $50 to cure a blind person in a developing country if they have trachoma. so you do the sums, and you could provide one guide dog for one blind american or you could cure between 400 and 2,000 people of blindness.

The entire principle of a blind taste test was ridiculous. they shouldn't have cared so much that they were losing blind taste tests with old coke, and we shouldn't at all be surprised that pepsi's dominance in blind taste tests never translated to much in the real world. why not? because in the real world, no one ever drinks coca-cola blind.

But the worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you lie in wait for yourself in caverns and forests. lonely one, you are going the way to yourself! and your way goes past yourself, and past your seven devils! you will be a heretic to yourself and witch and soothsayer and fool and doubter and unholy one and villain. you must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame: how could you become new, if you had not first become ashes?
Being Yourself Lonely Lying
You've got to be happy with yourself. you can't sell yourself if you're out here and you ain't good. because you're giving people messages, and if your message is wrong, then it's like the blind leading the blind.
