Notes

The quote is all caps (see link), as usual with the Atlas Society, but I’ve rendered it the way it’s intended to be, or at least is going to be, understood: as starting a new sentence and in regular case. The Atlas Society provides a link to a YouTube video that does not contain the given quote.
