The Wonders of Printing Quotes
For all you who learned about quotation marks in high school, a quote is a passage of text that has been taken out of context and used as a standalone unit. People often use quotes to create humor, to highlight an idea, or even to make someone feel better.
If you want interesting things to say without the need of making up your own words, try printing quotes instead of typing them out. They are usually short and concise with simple ideas that can be easily managed.
Here are some examples of printed quotes:
"If you want to make an impression, make no rational sense." - Jerry Seinfeld Famous writer and comedian Jerry Seinfeld is a master of print quotes. He uses them to express his ideas and point out things that he does not like about life. It is said that he has read the quote "if you want to make an impression, make no rational sense" over one hundred times. Below is a translation from German: "If you wish to have a striking effect, do not communicate ideas with logic." [ARTICLE COMPLETE]
There's only three rules for success: Rule number one--Don't drink too much. Rule number two--Don't spend too much. Rule number three--If you don't have a girlfriend, don't go home alone. I've been using quotation marks my entire life, but I never really knew what they are for until I found this article.

Title: My First Encounter with a TAZ
The TAZ, or Temporary Autonomous Zone, is an institution that emphasizes the importance of personal autonomy and freedom through the use of large areas such as abandoned buildings, forests and even islands. The first time I was exposed to this concept was when a friend showed me an essay written by Hakim Bey entitled "Pirate Utopias. Post-Left Anarchism and the New Technological Frontier". This essay inspired me to start thinking more about the idea of TAZs and how they could be implemented.
To begin with, I think that the nature of anarchism is incredibly important when considering TAZs. In my opinion, there are two main forms that anarchism takes: post-left anarchy and insurrectionary anarchism. Post-left anarchy describes an ecological, non-hierarchical society influenced by the ideas of Murray Bookchin or Ivan Illich but it also includes aspects of Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy for example. Insurrectionary anarchism, which is a popular form of anarchism today, describes a type of society where people make decisions and try to change the world without having to follow a democratic process.
Post-left anarchy describes an anarchist society that is ultimately controlled by the earth, rather than being controlled by large corporations or governments. In other words, this idea has a lot in common with TAZs as they are also non-hierarchical and ecologically motivated. Additionally we shouldn't forget that Bey argues that capitalism is not sustainable and will eventually lead to ecological disaster so anything it produces will have to be destroyed once it has served its purpose. Also, he argues that the only way we can combat this is by becoming our own bosses and following a non-hierarchical system.
The concept of a TAZ is fascinating because it allows people to change the world in a way that is not controlled by institutions or governments. Because these areas are temporary, people have a lot of freedom to create things and make their own decisions without having to be ruled or told what to do by anyone. This idea resonates strongly with the needs of today's society where many people want the freedom to make their own decisions without being told what to do. There is even speculation that TAZs could become normal life for us all in future. However, it is important to remember that a TAZ would not exist without first being influenced by the ideas of anarchism.
