They are enemies of the people. They have been at least since 1963. The media has been since the end of the second world war. The academy has been since 1914.

Please stop calling reporters enemies of the people, while you are at it. https://t.co/1hFRR9idCf

I think that many of us, having traditions that created a civilization that dragged humanity kicking and screaming out of ignorance, suffering, and poverty, are simply aware that the levantine model has been a disaster for thousands of years, and we don’t want to repeat it here.

Mythology makes no pretense, nor law, nor requests no compensation. I’m a fan of fairy tales, myths, legends, histories. They are necessary due to the intertemporal content of their information, and the increasing precision and depth we need as we accumulate knowledge. In the end we should find science and law. But not all of us can complete the journey. My problem is the pretense of truth.

—“Without shared mythology, values, rituals, signals, institutions, language, culture, and kinship …. without some local commonality in these, there is no commensurability or decidability possible between individuals, and no coincidence of interests, and therefore no cooperation, only conflict.”— Eli Harman Eli hitting it out of the park on that one.
