The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.

出自培根，郦波在讲座中引用并阐释

不要让恐惧书写你的故事。

O passado é uma ilusão, o futuro é um mistério, o presente é uma dádiva.
