A quote from The Utopia of Rules
The ultimate, hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently.
-David Graeber
Life can be so much broader once you discover one simple fact, and that is that everything around you that you call 'life' was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it.
The Rings of Power
Questions of meaning are a function of human life, but they are not native to the universe itself—meaning is not what we find, but what we create with the lives we live and the seeds we plant and the organizing principles according to which we sculpt our personhood.
Maria Popova • Figuring
the hidden reality of human life is the fact that the world doesn’t just happen. It isn’t a natural fact, even though we tend to treat it as if it is—it exists because we all collectively produce it.
