Upending this cultural compromise by effectively destroying trust that the institutions can effectively and consistently diagnose merit is an existential crisis for the entire sector, but we seem to be sleeping on a parallel crisis in knowledge acquisition/production as such

As Capra later said:

"I had my belly full of war and i came out a perfect pacifist."

Stewart wasn't even sure he'd ever act again. He didn't know if he could still be the nonchalant heroes he always played.

He only agreed to do Wonderful Life because Capra said it would help him find a way.
