"I understand I've just started, and America has revealed itself a little more clearly in the past year than was evident in 2022. The prologue defines the Western value of Compassion as: We believe a society should be judged by the way it treats its weakest members. I look around and think, "bullshit." Americans are more and more treating this world like their personal little zero sum game, and the weak be damned." — May 19, 2026 05:50PM

“When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.”

“Part of the problem with the word 'disabilities' is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. But what of people who can't feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in constructive ways? What of people who aren't able to form close and strong relationships? And people who cannot find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities.”
