¶ Status Quo
RBF Definitions
"Evolution is the net irreversible inexorability of change. All else is what men call status quo: just the ounces of cream of change on the tons of milk of the status quo. Cream soon sours. Cream changes. . .
"Status quo is a multidimensional tapestry of what has been and will never be again, and is ipso facto, no longer existent. It is evident that 99 per cent of society is preoccupied with status quo, ergo with nonreality, ergo ignorantly. . .
"The youth of today are casting off all the so-called educational preoccupations for sustaining the status quo. Youth tends to jettison the status quo aside*, as does the chick breaking out of its egg leaving the shell behind, irreversibly broken. . .
“All the king’s own free-enterprise attempts to perpetuate the profitability of the status quo, cannot put Humpty Dumpty together again.”
