Science and democracy are the right and left hands of what I'll refer to as the move from the realm of necessity to the realm of freedom.

If society fits you comfortably enough, you call it freedom.

I think people resist freedom because they're afraid of the unknown. But it's ironic, That unknown was once very well known. It's where our souls belong.The only solution is to confront them - confront yourself - with the greatest fear imaginable.

How can I set free anyone who doesn't have the guts to stand up alone and declare his own freedom? I think it's a lie - people claim they want to be free - everybody insists that freedom is what they want the most, the most sacred and precious thing a man can possess. But that's bullshit! People are terrified to be set free - they hold on to their chains. They fight anyone who tries to break those chains. It's their security How can they expect me or anyone else to set them free if they don't really want to be free?

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.

I'm interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos, especially activity that appears to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom.
