“The fact that it is a hypothesis specially uncongenial to the emotions of this investigator or that, is neither here nor there”.
From “That Hideous Strength”, by C.S. Lewis, 1945
Alcohol consumption and homicides are decreasing exponentially at very similar rates regardless of culture or geography, because the health of the ether is inexorably improving, and moral and mental health vary directly with the health of the ether.
As an aside, I’ll note that I recently rescued photographs from an aging laptop and transferred them to my current (and also-aging) “new” laptop.
Given that efforts to memory-hole myself and my material will be ongoing, I thought I’d begin including pictures of myself with my articles, so that they are part of the record. The photo at the bottom of this article was taken three years ago.
Don Croft always used to say that keeping a high public profile was important, both in terms of forestalling assassination attempts, and also because of the the impact that even just one person of conscience can have within the bigger picture.
