Kindle Notes & Highlights
“These are prisons. Cages, not homes. Not meant to protect us, but meant to force us, by pain of death, to bring about their vision.” “Their vision for what?” “For a world where we’re too much the same, where we’re too tightly invested in each other to waste our time fighting, to waste our resources guarding those same limited resources.”
It makes perfect sense: we are descendants of a million generations of humans, apes, shrews, and lizards who were better safe than sorry. In nature, optimists taste great.
