no we wont. There cant be history if we all die and no one knows what happens. We wont be known for shit. We will just be gone.

Personal wealth has become more important to some, even at the cost of future generations. It is no longer survival of the tribe, its all me
CarlCopplepot
thank your for recognizing him as a smart man ... also Kurt Vonnegut: "bombing refugee-overflown Dresden was a war crime" ... and he's right

Sirens of Titan is one of my favourite books ever.

We'll kill ourselves and stop anybody trying to save us because it would interfere with us making money up to the last moment.
justinchancellorsstandin
Sad but true.

Eh, I feel like we can't be the first...

And to be horribly wrong about how cost ineffective it was. We can't afford not to provide more intelligently to our populace

One of the best American authors of the 20th century. If you haven't read any of his books, please do so. You won't be disappointed.

I like the saying but the history buff in me is irked how completely false that is.
JonWallace1985
Romans were completely aware their lead pipes were poisoning them for example.

Vonnegut is usually my answer to those questions like "if you could sit down with one historical figure for a meal, who would it be?"
RibbleTPibits
Why would you eat a historical figure?

If you're ever near Indianapolis, check out the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library.

I still quote that line. Few get it, or remember where it came from or the circumstance for saying it.

Can you mention the source?

Me too. Nobody ever gets it.

I loved him in “Back to School “

No, it's totally cost effective to save yourself if you ignore others.
HawkmanXLII
Favourite author.
CatchySensibleName
Slaughterhouse-five is easily my favorite book.

Do you suppose he foresaw the coming climate apocalypse we refuse to stop so corporations won't lose profit?

Cost-Effective isnt the first concern. Shareholders want their payout first. And even if it was cost-effective the SHAREHOLDERS...

Currently reading him. Mother Night is very relevant right now.

I like the idea of a no-money society more and more.
DeadyBearr
No no. The thing is it is cost effective.
We just aren't doing it because rich people wanna get richer. But even then *it's just better for shareholders in the long run to have happy employees*

I made a fond of his handwriting. If you want it, here it is https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CCJwP5bdn4BiVfk28mgQZkWTkWC-SupR

Thank you so much for this. I sent it to myself to download in the morning. Huge fan of his handwriting!

Ah yes, delicious handwriting stock.

Vonnegut was a legend. When he died, our math teacher, our MATH teacher, took a half hour of class to talk about him. No one else did
JimLarsson
What did he say abort him?
GravyEducation
Taught us how invaluable and insightful he was.

My ex texted me at work to tell me he died and I still vividly remember that moment as a punk kid from Guam who was lucky enough to read him
kennybeynon
Vonnegut had a high regard for good educators. This is a central theme of Hocus Pocus.
luvs2h8
Loved that book. Such a wild ride.
ItAintAllitsCrackedUpToBe
I saw him speak in person when I was in High School. I feel very fortunate. But I didn't fully appreciate it at the time.
WPIII381
Who does, when they're young?
folderolchi
You appreciate it now. Wisdom comes with experience <3
dancingscythe
Honestly, it sounds like your Math Teacher was a legend.
GravyEducation
He was. Held the after school philosophy salon too. Met up with him once for coffee after school was over. Love you Mr. P

This made me feel my own feelings.
