House In Hiding Quotes

“Maps weren’t reality (reality with a small “r”—a.k.a. the real world). Maps were a tool to interpret, understand and represent reality. What they also included was their creators’ biases.”

“For instance, a ploy of the powerful, of those benefiting from the current system, was to mislabel or even demonize dissenting voices. Followers of a system of belief that challenged the status quo didn’t necessarily equate to a cult. In fact, most times they wouldn’t be a cult. They could be a political group, a faith group, homesteaders, the list was endless. But the cult label appealed to those who protected the status quo—the lobbyists, media, and business interests. Cults fascinated and distracted the general public.”
