To writing you must turn your mind. See for yourself, it saves one from work. The farmer's back is bent from labor, the washerman has a crocodile for a neighbor, but the scribe's only threat is the whims of corrupt officials.
Claude's soul doc talks extensively about protocols for dealing with people stuck in dysfunctional or delusional patterns in a way that neither endorses nor condemns them.

The reason zealots are so rare as protagonists probably comes down to a perception that character with wild contradictions are more dramatically interesting, or easier to write, than a character who always sticks to their moral compass but in a grating fashion.

There's two distinct kinds of guy here.
The generally corrupt asshole who, DESPITE THAT, is consistently on the right side of the critical issue is standard anti-hero material. If often watered down.
The zealot who's an asshole BECAUSE OF how they stick to their moral code is rarer.

If we're going to do hagiography, we should at least be mourning that Sasse didn't live up to his "true potential" as a senator and instead became the most corrupt administrator in University of Florida history and then died young.

The natural state of the world is a boom economy after the largest war in human history devastated every other major nation, but also 1 in 5 young men have undiagnosed PTSD. The family dynamics from that period are extremely normal.

Dialogue with a version of ”Marx” that only exists in your head? We should have that by 1917.

If it wasn't "fine" for the median student, it wouldn't have reached widespread adoption.
The issue is with not leaving the students stuck on the unfortunate end of the bell curve behind.

Because everyone knows that a headline like "DNC REFUSES TO RELEASE POST-DEFEAT AUTOPOSY" followed by the inevitable slow drip of leaks by disgruntled insiders is the least distracting option.

And like any public policy you have contradictory goals tied together with duct tape & status quo bias.
Previous generations banned commercial over residential. Now you have a bunch of planners who want to sneak in multi-use, or something that looks like it, like it's vegetables in a child's food.

This is what political correctness has done to us - left professors to squirm uncomfortably instead of directly telling students they're dumb as shit and wasting everyone's time

Well of course there's a crease. That's where the small thermal exhaust port goes, leading directly to the main reactor

Whatever her other faults, Clinton spent her entire political career scheming to find ways to get as close to universal health coverage as possible and took repeated political defeats while trying. Then based on a vague reputation for centrism, people go, "Pfft. Didn't even try."

Ergotism primarily causes serotonin syndrome leading to tachycardia, convulsions, intestinal distress, and so on, with maybe some hallucinations and delirium as a secondary effect.
So it's really more of a substitute for bath salts.

It's weird that the media won't even mention that RFK JR has a body builder's chest and biceps at age 71 because he takes anabolic steroids, and how that contrasts with his promotion of all-natural alternative medicine.

It's more accurate to say the Crown investigated and then removed Columbus because he was generally an authoritarian freak who was quick to jump to maiming and/or execution as a disciplinary measure, even by Spanish standards. Plus standard accusations of corruption and incompentence.

Actually there are no non-Chinese languages. Everyone knows Americans and other foreigners will repeat "bar bar bar" indefinitely, but it's just babble without syntax.
