- Given that most people, frankly everyone I’ve ever met, has not read the entirety of Proust, there is really no reason to do anything; to watch TV or read Facebook junk — or whatever. Any single great work of art stands as evidence that you’re wasting your time on anything else. We live in a time of incredible access to classics and an even greater indifference to them.
- On Brett Kavanaugh, a purely logical (and very important point): someone is not guilty of sexual assault because you don’t like their politics; or don’t like them.
- On Woody Allen: the accuser is not relieved of the burden of proof because they cried on TV.
- A liberal mob cannot be liberal by definition.
- I cannot read op-eds anymore; I don’t know how we become culturally addicted to reading manufactured opinions.
- The one interesting news story I read today: “Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit has discovered that a self-deleting messaging app called Tiger Text has been adopted by at least one US police department, which may have used it to share sensitive and potentially incriminating information that they wouldn’t want disclosed to a court.”
- Liberals are at least worthy of critique, conservatives are beneath contempt.
- The United States does not have an education system, it has an enculturation system. If you want proof of this, read your friends’ Facebook feeds.
