Knowing has a terminal limit, beyond which it becomes part of the harm...

#Writing #WritingCommunity #Reading #News #Scotland #UK #Books

Screenshot of a Substack post titled 'There Is Nothing More to Know.'

The post reads: 'Knowledge has a terminal limit, beyond which it becomes part of the harm. Spare facts already make things clear. Reading every detail will not meaningfully expose those responsible to consequence. Instead, it is assimilated, made part of us. I refuse that. There is so much we have no choice in. This is a choice. I do not need to know everything. I already know enough. I am unequivocally against genocide without witnessing it. The sexual abuse of children does not require further description to be abhorrent and condemned. My resolute opposition to state violence does not increase the longer I look. My position does not depend on the details.'

Beneath the text is a black and white photograph showing a narrow stream running through rough grassland, leading toward distant hills beneath a cloudy sky.

@kristiedegaris We know who the monsters are, and we know what needs to be done with them.
