As long as
counter-
intuitive
is a thing,
common
sense
isn’t a thing.

Snakes alive
If you make
a garden
snake proof, then,
when a snake
does get in
it can’t get
out again.
If you make
your brain to
resist mad
ideas,
then when the
madness does
get in, it
will stay there
forever.
Riddle me this
There are just
two kinds of
people in
the world. Those
who ask the
questions and
those who think
they know all
the answers.
Apply liberally
Science is a
religious
antiseptic.
It needs widely
applying all
over the world.
Norwegian would do
Skarsvag
looks like
the kind
of place
that might
be just
about
as far
away
as you
can get
from the
madness
of the
World.
Nurture
It takes a
village to
produce an
idiot
like Mister
Donald Trump
Pointless
We all spend
our lives now
trying not
to become
data points
on a graph.
Lifting veils
The process
of ageing
is one of
lifting the
veils, one by
one, that hide
the number
of stupid
people
in the world,
until you
see clearly
the horror,
then you die.
Brave new world
If you think after
Coronavirus,
corporations
will stop
exploiting
workers,
will stop
trashing
the world,
will stop
supporting
wars,
will stop
buying
elections,
will start
paying
taxes,
you’re living
in a parallel
universe.
Stupid is as
No one I ever
met, in the course
of my long life,
was as stupid
as Donald Trump,
and believe me
there were some
strong contenders.
