“Brute force will get you bad answers, lies, misdirection, or worse yet, will get you the answer the prisoner thinks you want to hear. He will say anything to stop the pain.”

“I have voted in the past. My first vote as a young man was for Jimmy Carter. In time, I came to see that vote as further evidence that the thing I call my common sense is an illusion. (Carter was a good role model but not one of our most effective presidents. He served one term.) As I got older, and more aware of my mental limitations, I came to understand that my vote adds nothing to the quality of the outcome. As far as I can tell, no one else adds intelligence to the election outcome either, but most voters think they do. And that illusion is necessary to support the government. It gives the voters a sense of empowerment and buy-in. That creates national stability. The democracy illusion is probably one of the most beneficial hallucinations humankind has ever concocted. If you think democracy works, and you act as if it works, it does work.”

“「革命」一詞,在中國官員嘴裏,從來缺乏嚴謹的定義,幾乎任何事都可套上一頂革命的桂冠。加以演繹,革命即是追隨領袖的同義字。”
