It's not that the kid is wrong, it's that he's wrong with utter and serene confidence. When people ask me why I wrote The Death of Expertise, it wasn't ignorance that compelled me to write, it was this kind of unbreakable, completely self-assured ignorance that did it.

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.

Dear son,
If you manage to read this in the future as an adult, I just want to mark down that at this moment in history, the official White House account posted a video of men in chains, the audio from which they suggested people would find soothing.
