I Would Normally Never Set Out To

Science Has Learned Recently That Contempt And Indignation Are Addictive Mental States. I Mean Physically And Chemically Addictive. Literally! People Who Are Self-righteous A Lot Are Apparently Doping Themselves Rhythmically With Auto-secreted Surges Of Dopamine, Endorphins And Enkephalins. Didn't You Ever Ask Yourself Why Indignation Feels So Good?

Science Fiction Is The Jazz Of Literature.

Why Must Conversions Always Come So Late? Why Do People Always Apologize To Corpses?

Self-righteous People Can Talk Themselves Into Forgetting They Are Part Of A Civilization. They Can Then Feed On That Culture, Bringing It Down. It's Happened Many Times In The Past. It Could Happen To Us.

In Historical Fact, All Of History's Despots, Combined, Never Managed To Get Things Done As Well As This Rambunctious, Self-critical Civilization Of Free And Sovereign Citizens, Who Have Finally Broken Free Of Worshipping A Ruling Class And Begun Thinking For Themselves. Democracy Can Seem Frustrating And Messy At Times, But It Delivers.
