Now and then you hear me speak derisively of governments and ideologies – including democracy. If, by seeing I criticize an ideology, anyone seeks to believe I embrace its opposite, he has failed to get the point. The basic building block of any political system is the individual. you can't have masses which aren't made up of single units.

The merchants of fear have lost all ability themselves to create, they cannot work themselves, they must either amass money which is never to be spent or must prevent others from amassing money. They produce nothing, they must steal one way or another, and then devaluate whatever they obtain. They speak very sternly of honesty or ethics and put on a formidable front of complete legality.

The physical universe is built on a games condition and the optimum game in the physical universe is described by exactly these rules: minimum ease of entrance, followed by maximum involvement.

A game is composed of freedom, barriers, and purposes. There isn’t any purpose to life at all. You can assign purpose to life, and if you don’t, nobody will. Purpose has to be assigned to life because it is purposeless.
