May 4

Eventually, given its mania for conspiracy theories, the radical right will accuse the polluting industries of a scam to keep environmentalists in work.

*

Thanks to modern communications, we can watch a catastrophe unfold, in real time, on the far side of the world. Technology make us hobbled gods, all seeing yet powerless to intervene.

*

Virtue belongs to those who resist a talent. You cannot admire the honesty of a lousy liar.

*

Truth is the goal but plausibility is the destination.

*

There is privilege inherent in complaint; the powerless know that no one is listening.

*

Some things must be seen through to be seen.

*

Know that you're a fool; but don't treat yourself like one.
