The Expanse and Philosophy Quotes

“Because Donald Trump’s campaign figured out how to play the Aristotle angle, the Hume angle, the angle that’s been perpetuated through human history and on to today. Because Nancy Gao fits the mold Avasarala refuses to be forced in to. The angle that paints any woman who dares try to use her brain, to show her intelligence, to say, “I am worthy of being your leader,” or, “I can do a better job than this man,” as power hungry and vicious and nasty. Our society has such deeply embedded fear of powerful women, women who don’t fit the demure, soft, pliable mold after millennia of being told “this is the way,” that it’s an easy thing for demagogues to tug on the thread that connects them to demons and whores, to strum it and have us humming an ancient tune.”

“there’re ways that you can lead a good life, without being a good person.”
