Somewhere on a tiny planet
crawl some ants called the human race
Lost in time
Lost in space

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

If I had to guess, the designer wanted the treeline to look like it is descending, and since we read left-to-right in the West, flipped it that way. Just a guess though. Now that I am thinking about it, it also helps create a sense of motion from left to right that goes along with the text. I guess I did learn something during my brief time in art school.

The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

I listened to Zoon by The Nefilim (which I realised is supposed to be pronounced "zoh-on") for the first time in ages the other day. It really holds up surprisingly well - apart from McCoy's voice straining to reach some of the higher notes
