“I knew that even if I was able to call for help, I was in a place so remote that it wasn’t likely there would be anyone who could help me. And even if there were, it could take weeks.”

Super ‘70s and ‘80s: “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!”—Nicole David (Jaffe) https://www.noblemania.com/2011/10/super-70s-and-80s-scooby-doo-where-are_10.html (October 10, 2011)

“I don't think anyone really knows how to help everyone. I don't even know what's best for me.”
2010s, I don't know, so I'm an atheist libertarian (2011)
Context: What makes me libertarian is what makes me an atheist — I don't know. If I don't know, I don't believe. I don't know exactly how we got here, and I don't think anyone else does, either. We have some of the pieces of the puzzle and we'll get more, but I'm not going to use faith to fill in the gaps. I'm not going to believe things that TV hosts state without proof. I'll wait for real evidence and then I'll believe.
And I don't think anyone really knows how to help everyone. I don't even know what's best for me.
“I wish I could tell my parents, " If you want to help me, help me die.”
