Suddenly (we’re saved!) other people are real again, and we’re fond of them.

But today we are led into the arena of public debate by seers whose main gift is their ability to compel people to continue to watch them.

If I make up a world in which we’re ruled by big talking turds, it doesn’t mean that we are. So you shouldn’t feel depressed.

I can’t tell you how many times a conversation went like this: “We’ve got to stop these immigrants, because it’s terrible.” I’d say, “Okay, what personally have you observed about this?” And there would be basically nothing in that box. And I’d say, “Where’d you get your information?” thinking they were going to say Fox. But they would always say, “Well, I get my information from all kinds of sources.” Fox is kind of center-left to a lot of people now.

The Bernie Sanders energy was as good, gentler, but there was a real passion there.

When things aren’t going the way you want and you can’t see anyway that they’re going to go the way you want. That’s kind of when those old virtues really become valuable and vulnerable also.

What I think people have to do now is be very, very assertive about the utter essentiality of intellectual undertakings.
