Ray Hecht was raised in America, from the Midwest to the West Coast, on a starchy diet of movies and comics and science fiction paperbacks. Mostly writing about such states as California and Ohio, and such provinces as Guangdong. Lived in Shenzhen, China since 2008, that Special Economic Zone & Hong Kong-bordering chaotic city of the future, occasionally partaking in freelance journalism for various local publications. Ray now lives in Taiwan.

For me, back in the somehow “good old days” of the 2016-2020 era, I read books about politics. A lot. I considered it my duty to be informed, and learned about the biography of the terrible president and all the court drama of his administration. The ...more

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

H.L. Mencken
“Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.”
― H.L. Mencken, A Mencken Chrestomathy

Jean-Paul Sartre
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre

Margaret Atwood
“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”
― Margaret Atwood

Neal Stephenson
“It was, of course, nothing more than sexism, the especially virulent type espoused by male techies who sincerely believe that they are too smart to be sexists.”
― Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash

Blake Hi, Ray! I am more than thankful to find someone who truly puts their time into weighing out all of the necessities for when it comes to finding info! How do I see if there's a book you've read, because I would love to read your review? I want to read your 'Less Is More by Jason Hickel' if you've done it? Many thanks :)
