As Far As I Know, I Have

By Consequence I Hold That No One Ever Did, Or Can Do, Anything For "society."... Comte Invented The Term Altruism As An Antonym For Egoism, And It Found Its Way At Once Into Everyone's Mouth, Although It Is Utterly Devoid Of Meaning, Since It Points To Nothing That Ever Existed In Mankind; This Hybrid Or Rather This Degenerate Form Of Hedonism Served Powerfully To Invest Collectivism's Principles With A Specious Moral Sanction, And Collectivists Naturally Made The Most Of It.

The Worst Of This Ever Growing Cancer Of Statism [ie Big 'paternal' Government - Socialism, Communism And Fascism] Is Its Moral Effect. The Country Is Rich Enough To Stand Its Frightful Economic Wastage For A Long Time Yet, And Still Prosper, But It Is Already So Poverty-stricken In Its Moral Resources That The Present Drain Will Quickly Run Them Out.

According To My Observations, Mankind Are Among The Most Easily Tamable And Domesticable Of All Creatures In The Animal World. They Are Readily Reducible To Submission, So Readily Conditionable (to Coin A Word) As To Exhibit An Almost Incredibly Enduring Patience Under Restraint And Oppression Of The Most Flagrant Character. So Far Are They From Displaying Any Overweening Love Of Freedom That They Show A Singular Contentment With A Condition Of Servitorship, Often Showing A Curious Canine Pride In It, And Again Often Simply Unaware That They Are Existing In That Condition.

Perhaps The Prevalence Of Pedantry May Be Largely Accounted For By The Common Error Of Thinking That, Because Useful Knowledge Should Be Remembered, Any Kind Of Knowledge That Is At All Worth Learning Should Be Remembered Too.

It Is Unfortunately None Too Well Understood That, Just As The State Has No Money Of Its Own, So It Has No Power Of Its Own.
