"For the russians, misery; for the rest of us, menace" (Time, 1952)

"The Soviets have spent huge sums in research to learn how the conditioned reflex can be applied to human beings - how hunger, sex, and, above all, fear activate human behavior. Conditioned reflex is the keystone of Soviet psychiatry. It helps explain the puzzling 'confessions' made at show trials by Communism's victims. It is part of the 'brain-washings' now going on in China. the conditioned reflexing of his subjects simplifies a totalitarian ruler's problems enormously. Stalin now has 800 milion dogs to work on. If he has his way, he will condition the reflexes of all mankind." (LIFE 10 nov. 1952)

Lorem Ipsum

"All testing, all confirmation and disconfirmation of a hypothesis takes place already within a system. And this system is not a more or less arbitrary and doubtful point of departure for all our arguments; no it belongs to the essence of what we call an argument. The system is not so much the point of departure, as the element in which our arguments have their life."
- Wittgenstein

"Le poète ne retient pas ce qu’il découvre ; l’ayant transcrit, le perd bientôt. En cela réside sa nouveauté, son infini et son péril"
