“We journalists make it a point to know very little about an extremely wide variety of topics; this is how we stay objective.”

Steven Pinker
“The predators may respond to the defensive reprisals of their prey as if they were the ones under attack, and experience a moralized wrath and a thirst for revenge. Thanks to the Moralization Gap, they will minimize their own first strike as necessary and trivial while magnifying the reprisal as unprovoked and devastating.

Steven Pinker, The Better Angels of Our Nature: A History of Violence and Humanity

3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”
Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time
