Use the saw, fear the saw

When I learned to use a table saw, my teacher impressed upon me that the machine wants to cut fingers. Fear the saw!

Powerful tools can do powerful things. If you want to make handmade wooden furniture you must cut wood. Your desire to have limbs and your desire to have furniture are not at odds if you learn to use tools safely.

There are table saws that will stop at the touch of a finger, but I don’t know of any chainsaw that won’t cut an arm. There is a limit to how safe a tool can be before its function is crippled.

We should not stop making powerful tools because they are dangerous. Rather, we should empower people to use powerful tools safely.

I use the saw, I fear the saw. I have handmade furniture, and I have all my limbs.

Whenever I get to know someone who seems perfect, I end up disappointed. Whenever I get to know someone who I think is the worst of the worst, I'm pleasantly surprised. Angels and demons aren't real.

There are no stationary objects in the Universe: even our Solar System is moving not only around the center of the Galaxy (828,000 km/h) but also relative to its nearest stellar neighbors (70,000 km/h)

Please don’t act like everyone loved my father then or authentically honors him today.

He was assassinated.

A 1967 poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in America.

Most hated.

Many who evoke him today to deter justice would have likely hated him then.

A paradox is a seemingly self-contradictory statement that proves true.
