Victor Davis Hanson
“...there is no certainty that as scientific progress accelerates and leisure increases, and as the world shrinks on our computer and television screens, there is any corresponding advance in wisdom or morality, much less radical improvement in innate human nature.”
Victor Davis Hanson, The End of Everything: How Wars Descend into Annihilation

“Bodies are not only biological phenomena but also complex social creations onto which meanings have been variously composed and imposed according to time and space.”
Katrina Karkazis, Fixing Sex: Intersex, Medical Authority, and Lived Experience
