Organized bustle

Fill people’s heads with numbers, fill them with harmless facts until they feel sick, nothing, but they will think that they are very educated. They will even have the impression that they think that they are moving forward, although in reality they are standing still. And people will be happy, because the “facts” with which they are stuffed are something unchangeable. But don’t give them such slippery stuff as philosophy or sociology. God forbid if they start drawing conclusions and generalizations.

– As many sports, games, amusements as possible – let a person always be in the crowd, then he doesn’t have to think. Organize, organize more and more new sports, super-organize super-sports! More picture books. More films. And there is less and less food for thought. The result is dissatisfaction. Some kind of anxiety. The roads are crowded with people, everyone is trying to get somewhere, no matter where. Gasoline refugees. Cities have turned into tourist camps, people – into hordes of nomads who are spontaneously drawn here and there, like the sea during the ebb and flow of the tide – and today he is spending the night in this room, and before that you spent the night, and the day before – I.

Ray Bradbury. “451° degrees Fahrenheit”
