- “Feeling in control makes most people feel serene and safe. It doesn't matter how much actual control we have. Every human is technically, a meaningless sack of carbon clinging to a rock hurtling through the uncaring void around trillions of tons of nuclear fire, but that's too big for a single Human to be aware of. But if we can demand and get soy milk in our latte, that's tangible control.”
-- Dean Burnett, idiot brain (2016), 277.
