• The person who wins the Nobel Prize is not the person who read the most journal articles and took the most notes on them. It's the person who knew what to look for.

• Corporations are totalitarian institutions. Board of directors at the top of managers give orders, everyone follows orders.....

• Es cierto que nadie habla de ellos, pero cuando sacas el tema, la idea de que tienes que alquilarte a alguien y seguir sus órdenes, y que ellos son los dueños y tú trabajas allí, y tú lo has construido pero no eres su dueño, es una noción muy antinatural. No hace falta estudiar complicadas teorías para ver que es un atentado contra la dignidad humana.

• If you look at history, even recent history, you see that there is indeed progress. . . . Over time, the cycle is clearly, generally upwards. And it doesn't happen by laws of nature. And it doesn't happen by social laws. . . . It happens as a result of hard work by dedicated people who are willing to look at problems honestly, to look at them without illusions, and to go to work chipping away at them, with no guarantee of success — in fact, with a need for a rather high tolerance for failure along the way, and plenty of disappointments.

• La democracia, en la retórica estadounidense, se refiere a un sistema de gobierno en el que elementos de la élite basados en la comunidad empresarial controlan el Estado en virtud de su dominio de la sociedad privada, mientras que la población observa en silencio. Así entendida, la democracia es un sistema de decisión de las élites y ratificación pública, como en los propios Estados Unidos. En consecuencia, la participación popular en la formación de las políticas públicas se considera una grave amenaza. No es un paso hacia la democracia, sino que constituye una "crisis de la democracia" que hay que superar.

• If by 'intellectual' you mean people who are a special class who are in the business of imposing thoughts and forming ideas for people in power, and telling people what they should believe...they're really more a kind of secular priesthood, whose task it is to uphold the doctrinal truths of the society. And the population SHOULD be anti-intellectual in that repect.
