"To survive what we have termed future shock, one must search out totally new ways to anchor oneself, for all the old roots - religion, nation, community, family, or profession - are shaking under the impact of accelerative thrust.
Before that, however, he must understand how the effects of acceleration creep into his personal life and affect, alter his behaviour.
He must, in other words, understand transience." — Jun 09, 2016 03:45PM

“Before the man lost his sight, he read this story in a magazine: a group of explorers came upon a community of parrots speaking the language of a society that had been wiped out in a recent catastrophe. Astonished by their discovery, they put the parrots in cages and sent them home so that linguists could record what remained of the lost language. But the parrots, already traumatized by the devastation they had recently witnessed, died on the way.
The man feels a great fraternity with those birds. He feels he carries, like them, a shredded inheritance, and he is too concussed to pass anything on.”
