Accumulated power leads to abuse. People who claim to be enlightened rarely are. I have a firm belief that people are basically good (when they think they’re being watched). The world is yours for the changing. San Francisco is like a dog’s nose, when everything is as it should be, it is cold and damp. “Corporautomaton” is a word I’d like to hear people use more often. It is important to enjoy what you are doing. Some people believe in personal responsibility; others believe in denial of responsibility. The morality of a corporations actions is the aggregate of the personal morality of that corporation’s board of directors and executives. Surviving the San Francisco summer is a matter of not cooking in the sun while simultaneously not freezing in the wind. When I was young I was smart and unwise. Now that I am older I am less smart and less unwise. I sometimes lose debates for two reasons. Firstly, because I am not an idiot. And Secondly, because I am no fool. The English language needs a a new word that means: Something most people hold to be true, but which is actually false. (not Misconception) Flawless logic only convinces those who are in the habit of coming to their own conclusions; the rest are unimpressed. A great many people would rather hear that there is something wrong with their child than that there is something wrong with their parenting. |
