"Sometimes you don't survive in whole. Just in part. But the grandeur of life is that attempt. Being as fearless as one can and behaving as beautifully as one can under impossible circumstances." -Toni Morrison

This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair. No place for self-pity. No need for silence. No room for fear. We speak. We write. We do language. That is how civilizations heal. - Toni Morrison

It's looking increasingly likely that my time at ScienceAlert is coming to an end. So I guess I have to join the chorus of people asking if anybody knows of any outlet that might be in need of an experienced writer, editor and/or fact checker, in science, tech, games or pop culture.

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

Imagine if you will, a large swath of the American public supporting a convicted criminal who has a track record of personal vendettas dictating his daily agenda as President and then also going to church and pretending to be a decent human being. That’s called the Hypocrisy Zone

Other than/in addition to Jane Elliott's Brown eye/blue eye experiment, Plato's Allegory of the cave best explains fascists. It is indeed a combination of ignorance and the superiority coping mechanism murdering millions, as it always has. We can't break these habits without understanding.

How much human political ignorance comes from the natural bias to presume one already knows everything that's important to know? It starts in childhood and doesn't go away without sufficient education. Built in Dunning-Kruger. explains why if it hasn't happened to a fascist they think it doesn't.
