I firmly believed that an egalitarian society was dawning, but I also thought that the trains, for example, in this better society ought to run better, and the militants around me were not learning how to shovel coal into the furnace, work the switches, or draw up timetables. Somebody had to be ready to operate the trains.

Авжеж. Людство не може стерпіти думки, що світ народився випадково, через помилку, лише тому, що чотири безмозкі атоми зіткнулися на мокрому шосе. А тому треба знайти космічну змову, Бога, янголів або дияволів. Синархія виконує ту саму функцію, лише у зменшених масштабах.

Can you call yourself a coward simply because the courage of others seems to you out of proportion to the triviality of the occasion? Thus wisdom creates cowards. And thus you miss Opportunity while spending your life on the lookout for it. You have to seize Opportunity instinctively, without knowing at the time that it is the Opportunity.

Fans of this book, I have very little idea about what is happening. Is it expected or is this book not for me? Should I dnf or continue?
