” We are normally blind about our own blindness. We’re generally overconfident in our opinions and our impressions and judgments. We exaggerate how knowable the world is.

What psychology and behavioral economics have shown is that people don’t think very carefully. They’re influenced by all sorts of superficial things in their decision-making, and they procrastinate and don’t read the small print.

When you analyze happiness, it turns out that the way you spend your time is extremely important. Decisions that affect how much time you spend with people you like are going to have a very large effect on how happy you are—not necessarily satisfied with your life but happy. “

- Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Prize Winner in Economics (from Time Magazine)

“Sit back picture yourself swooping up a shell of purple with foam crests of crystal drops soft nigh they fall unto the sea of morning creep-very-softly mist…and then sort of cascade tinkley-bell like (must I take you by the hand, every so slowly type) and then conglomerate suddenly into a peal of silver vibrant uncomprehendingly, blood singingly, joyously resounding bells….By my faith if this be insanity, then for the love of God permit me to remain insane.”

May take a week and it may take longer.
They got the guns, but we got the numbers
Gonna win, yeah, we’re taking over. Come’on. Let’s take over, yeah!

Ahhhhhh!
You’re all a bunch of fuckin’ idiots!
Lettin’ people tell you what you’re gonna do!
Lettin’ people push you around!
How long do you think it’s gonna last?
How long are you gonna let it go on?
How long are you gonna let ‘em push you around?
How long?
Maybe you like it! Maybe you like being pushed around!
Maybe you love it! Maybe you love gettin’ your face stuck in the shit! Come’on!
You love it, don’t ya?
You love it.
You’re all a bunch of slaves! Lettin’ everybody push you around.
What are you gonna do about it?
What are you gonna do about it?
What are you gonna do about it!
What are you gonna do about it!
What are you gonna do about it!
What are you gonna do!

Your ballroom days are over, baby
Night is drawing near
Shadows of the evening crawl across the years.

You walk across the floor with flowers in your hands
Trying to tell me no one understands
Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes
Gonna make it baby in our prime.

Get together one more time.
Get together one more time.
Get together one more time.
Get together one more time.
Get together one more time!
Get together one more time!
Get together one more time!

Now come’on, honey.
How you go along and work for me sweetheart,
I’ll be there in just a little while.
You see, I gotta go out in this car with these people … and get
Fucked up.

Get together one more time!
Get together one more time!
Get together one more time!
Get together one more time!

Hey, I’m not talking about no revolution.
I’m not talking about no demonstration.
I’m not talking about gettin’ out in the streets.
I’m talking about having some fun.
I’m talking about dancing.
I’m talking about love yo neighbor … ‘till it hurts.
I’m talking about grab your friend.
I’m talking about love.
I’m talking about some love.
I’m talking about some love.
I’m talking about love.
Love. Love. Love. Love.
Love. Love. Love. Grab your … fuckin’ friend and love him!
Come’on.
