Jithu Krishna

“My message to you is this: pretend that you have free will. It's essential that you behave as if your decisions matter, even though you know they don't. The reality isn't important: what's important is your belief, and believing the lie is the only way to avoid a waking coma. Civilization now depends on self-deception. Perhaps it always has.”
― Ted Chiang, Exhalation

“Debating Imperialism is a bit like debating the pros and cons of rape. What can we say? That we really miss it?”
― Arundhati Roy, An Ordinary Person's Guide to Empire
