Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>
Quote

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling

Went to a concert last night with a few friends. No good videos from yesterday unfortunately, so a recording from Perth in January will have to do...

The tribute for Dr. John yesterday was a thing of wonder.

He'll be missed.

Radiohead got hacked and blackmailed. Instead of complying, they released everything. Now we have 18 hours of various Radiohead stuff: https://radiohead.bandcamp.com/

Whoopsydaisy. When you quoted it, it looks kinda ominous and dramatic indeed, instead of "I hate heat, f†ck climate change!!!!" which is exactly what it meant.  :yes: Anyway, here's a positive, live celebrating song to compensate for that (parental advisory: kinda explicit content?):

Oh! Well, I can understand that, I feel the same way really. 😄 There's another forum where I post in where various health struggles have already claimed the lives of three this year, so it kinda set some alarms. Good to know you're doing well at least. 😄
