Society's only real 'progressives' are the deviants and mutants. Look at evolution - fish who didn't deviate never became amphibians frogs who didn't mutate never became reptiles conformist snakes never became mammals , etc. Normal Humans will remain humans, and they'll be subjugated by the digital monsters of the next few millenia.

I'll argue anyone into the dust when it comes to facts.

My oldest brother was stabbed thirty to forty times and strangled to death with his own belt when I was eight years old. Much of my life has been pockmarked with violence. So I had a natural interest in the topic, along with a strong home-field advantage.

The average human's fundamental project is to find someone else to blame for their problems.

Plenty of people have bad divorces, but few of them end up with cancer, imprisonment, and public scorn. In the dark, rolling, treacherous wake of that sunken ship, the last thing I sought was a relationship or, heaven forbid, marriage.

I think that any time a person comes face-to-face with their own mortality - close enough to Death that they can smell its breath - they have a choice: 1) Fall to pieces 2) Reassemble yourself and keep walking.
