  1. A quotation from Terry Pratchett

    People who would not believe a High Priest if he said the sky was blue, and was able to produce signed affidavits to this effect from his white-haired old mother and three Vestal virgins, would trust just about anything whispered darkly behind their hand by a complete stranger in a pub.

    Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
    Discworld, Book 18, Maskerade (1995)

  14. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal. From the viewpoint of our legal institutions and of our moral standards of judgment, this normality was much more terrifying than all the atrocities put together, for it implied — as had been said at Nuremberg over and over again by the defendants and their counsels — that this new type of criminal, who is in actual fact hostis generis humani [enemy of humanity], commits his crimes under circumstances that make it well-nigh impossible for him to know or to feel that he is doing wrong.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, Epilogue (1963)

What hit me out of the blue is that "The Box with the Sound of its Own Making" is ultimately one of the most accurate portraits of a 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴, particularly in their capacity to miss their mark — yet being able to convey the process of becoming themselves only in that exact fashion. One could argue that it is the only way of being known by another thinking being

    Actually a pretty good way to get familiar with a new programming language.
    Though that's probably some super inefficient #Lua code and loopy as hell. But I think there's something nice about its #naïveté.
