No, maybe that wasn’t it. Words precede and surpass me, they tempt and alter me, and if I am not careful it will be too late: things will be said without my having said them. Or, at the very least, that wasn’t the only thing. My entanglement comes from how a carpet is made of so many threads that I can’t resign myself to following just one; my ensnarement comes from how one story is made of many stories. And I can’t even tell them all— a more truthful word could from echo to echo cause my highest glaciers to crumble down the precipice.” - Clarice Lispector

  • It isn’t just that Trump is a dumbass, being uneducated and “stupid” aren’t what makes Trump worthy of hatred and endless namecalling. Simply not knowing things does not make you a fascist.

    It is the complete lack of curiosity people like Trump have that I despise more than ignorance, it is violently antithetical to the basic reasons I love science and the pursuit of understanding the world. I am curious, I ask questions, I don’t just accept shit that people say because they say it a lot.

    Trump hates people like me because we can walk all over him on basically any topic whereas people like me hate Trump because he does not desire to know anything beyond what he is forced to know.
