There is no deeper religious feeling than the feeling for the natural world. I wouldn't separate the world of nature from the religious instinct...I would not even object to saying that the sense of awe before the grandeur of nature is itself a religious experience.

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle… Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

The country who watched over 80,000 Americans die a year for the profits of a family who made opiods is all of a sudden really worried about drug cartels in Venezuela.
Following years of litigation the Sakler family was fined. But they didn’t go to prison. No one blew up their home or boat.
