          Normality is behavioural inertia. Habits and habits of perception. It’s what keeps everything going even though everyone with a nervous system knows that the world is run by pedophiles and psychopaths, the planet is dying, and everyone just… keeps acting normal. Even if we solved all our problems, we would still have this tendency.

          Certainty, too, is a pernicious tendency of the human mind. Nobody’s smart enough to hold ideas lightly, people crave certainty. They want to just believe anything that pops into their heads and kill anyone who did the same thing and dared to come up with something different. The more you know the less certain you get, and everyone’s so damned ignorant. We may live in the information age but it is not a light that illumines, but a glare that blinds.

          Anyway, that’s my Howard Beale rant. Thanks for asking.
