Karl Marlantes Zitate

In the military I could exercise the power of being automatically respected because of the medals on my chest, not because I had done anything right at the moment to earn that respect. This is pretty nice. It's also a psychological trap that can stop one's growth and allow one to get away with just plain bad behavior.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Im Militär konnte ich die Fähigkeit ausüben, automatisch wegen der Medaillen auf meiner Brust respektiert zu werden, nicht weil ich im Moment alles richtig gemacht hatte, um mir diesen Respekt zu verdienen. Das ist ziemlich nett. Es ist auch eine psychologische Falle, die das Wachstum stoppen und einem einfach schlechtem Benehmen entkommen kann.

Kids automatically teach each other how to use technology, but they're not going to teach each other about the history of democracy, or the importance of taking their voices into the public sphere to create social change.

If you're studying from a book and trying to listen in on a conversation at the same time, those are two separate projects, each started and maintained by distinct circuits in the brain. Pay more attention to one for a moment and you're automatically paying less attention to the other.
