“If we could refocus and wisely direct 10% of the attention we spend on things that should actually be ejected from our experience as dangerous confusions — we could remedy many of the most serious problems we face as a species on earth. And we could establish and sustain nations capable of living up to our needs, ideals, and nature as human beings. 10%. That’s about what it will take. 10% less insipid entertainment. 10% less plastic garbage. 10% less image propagation. 10% more intelligence.

Is 10% really too much to ask to save a world without which all percentages become meaningless?”
