  1. A quotation from Orwell

    The weakness of the child is that it starts with a blank sheet. It neither understands nor questions the society in which it lives, and because of its credulity other people can work upon it, infecting it with the sense of inferiority and the dread of offending against mysterious, terrible laws.

    George Orwell (1903–1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1948-06), “‘Such, Such Were the Joys …’,” Partisan Review (1952-09)

  12. A quotation from Diderot

    And his hands would plait the priest’s entrails,
    For want of a rope, to strangle kings.
     
    [Et ses mains ourdiraient les entrailles du prêtre,
    Au défaut d’un cordon pour étrangler les rois.]

    Denis Diderot (1713-1784) French editor, philosopher
    Poem (1772), “Les Éleuthéromanes”

  14. Freedom is a balancing act that requires knowing when to relinquish authority.... Too much control prevents us from seeing possibilities beyond our immediate desires. Too much order stifles the healthy chaos, the restlessness, of a truly open mind.

    I don’t mind people quoting AI at all. I use it constantly, including to help me think through politics, A Course in Miracles, writing, and the general madness of being alive.

    I recently lost a friendship because the other person disliked AI so strongly that my using it became unacceptable to them. That surprised me. I don’t treat AI as an authority, and I certainly don’t believe everything it says. It is an answer machine, a research assistant, and sometimes a very useful mirror.

    The sensible question is not whether someone used AI. It is whether the argument is sound, the facts hold up, and the person using it has bothered to think.
