The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Discourse I’m always interested in: how a work of art reflects the society that produced it; how it changed your thinking; how its craft connects to its content; how it compares/contrasts with other works.
Discourse I’m never interested in: How virtuous it is to consume said art.
