We humans are not just a superficial race (this may be curable to some extent); we are a very unfair one. - Nassim Nicholas Taleb

The first one who uses "but", has lost the argument.

You are doomed when your creativity exceeds your body of knowledge and when your imagination exceeds your capacity to remember.

Remember that the NYT, while promoting platitudinous & vague notions such as "integrity", "truth", etc. was behind the Iraq war, regime change, and other monstrosities. The NYT is a cover for warmongers & managed to convert the pseudo-left to militarism.
