January 27Jan 27 Quote Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

February 1Feb 1 Hebb’s song had actually been written in 1963, after John F Kennedy and then Hebb’s brother Harold were murdered on consecutive days. He felt the world — and perhaps he himself — needed a little cheer, and wrote a song to serve that purpose. HA! Good Fun!
