With the recognition comes additional responsibility, because then we're no longer a one-shot. We're now part of the environment.

Image
I think it's too bad that everybody's decided to turn on drugs, I don't think drugs are the problem. Crime is the problem. Cops are the problem. Money's the problem. But drugs are just drugs.
Jerry Garcia
Image
What we need is something, a definition of a human, starting from the ground up, so that the suitable moral structure that goes around it makes sense. The context has to come from the human first, rather than bits and pieces of fragments of old religion and all of the old moral superstructure, whatever it used to be.

One of the things that's attractive about cyberspace is that it can be construed as no threat. If you see it through the video game keyhole, the amusement keyhole, the entertainment keyhole, it is no threat. If you see it through the LSD keyhole, the consciousness-expanding keyhole, it's like electronic drugs: it is a threat.

Stuff that's hidden and murky and ambiguous is scary because you don't know what it does.
Jerry Garcia
Image
The point is there is more information now then you can pass along comfortably in an oral tradition, say a strictly speaking culture. That is a problem.
Jerry Garcia
Image
If you assume you haven't learned anything yet, there's no reason your playing can't stay dynamic all your life.
Jerry Garcia
Image
If we had any nerve at all, if we had any real balls as a society, or whatever you need, whatever quality you need, real character, we would make an effort to really address the wrongs in this society, righteously.
Jerry Garcia
Image
The world has to tell us. In other words, we don't have an agenda or a battle plan or a map or a direction or anything. We're just going along, and our world is telling us.
Jerry Garcia
Image
So we are pretty convinced we don't want to play huge stadiums unless we can play them well.

It's odd that there is a high level of appreciation of nature. There is the aesthetic side that really loves nature and beauty.
