Colorless green ideas sleep furiouslyEducation is a system of imposed ignorance.If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged.If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.Propaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state.States are not moral agents, people are, and can impose moral standards on powerful institutions.The intellectual tradition is one of servility to power, and if I didn't betray it I'd be ashamed of myself.As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.I have often thought that if a rational Fascist dictatorship were to exist, then it would choose the American system.Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it's from Neptune.
