BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

I am all for miracles because the universe we live in is far richer than we can imagine. The alchemy of stars, hydrogen atoms seemingly awakening to explore themselves, the scale and depth of everything around us... nothing we know is short of a miracle.

There is no deeper religious feeling than the feeling for the natural world. I wouldn't separate the world of nature from the religious instinct...I would not even object to saying that the sense of awe before the grandeur of nature is itself a religious experience.

After the earth dies, some 5 billion years from now, after it's burned to a crisp, or even swallowed by the Sun, there will be other worlds and stars and galaxies coming into being -- and they will know nothing of a place once called Earth.

We are fortunate: we are alive; we are powerful; the welfare of our civilization and our species is in our hands. If we do not speak for Earth, who will? If we are not committed to our own survival, who will be?

So, very different schooling DOES produce significant differences in IQ after all. IQ is not just some inborn "merit."
And that means denying kids the best possible education is a crime that _the kids_ will pay for lifelong, not the perpetrators.
