People talking about fixing an economy that's bleeding out, with more cutting of regulation and public spending, is like a doctor proposing to save a person who's bleeding out, by doing more bloodletting.

All my life I've tried to increase my understanding of the world, so I can act more responsibly. While avoiding the rings of power, and the corruption that seems to come with them.

But knowledge without power is a curse. It makes me feel responsible for things that are totally out of my control.

I'm really starting to understand why Max Cohen drove a drill through his brain in the penultimate scene of the movie Pi (1998). I envy the blissful ignorance it left him in.
