We want to see ourselves as curious and open-minded and smart and understanding things in terms of context and nuance, but when someone tries to do that in the midst of a shaming they're turned on.

Twitter wanted to become a more egalitarian justice system, but instead it became a draconian one.
Jon Ronson
It's not a good idea to define the boundaries of normality by tearing apart people who are outside of it.
Jon Ronson
I am the neurological opposite of a psychopath, in that I feel anxious almost all the time. It must be great to not constantly feel like you’ve got someone living inside your face, shooting you with a mini Taser.
Jon Ronson
Friends are the fruitcake of life - some nutty, some soaked in alcohol, some sweet.
Jon Ronson
Nothing uniquely bad has happened to me in my personal life, but all the regular little bad things have accumulated to make me a neurotic person. And these adventures are my way of trying to make sense of that.
Jon Ronson
My paranoia never ends, but I haven't been paranoid about being spied on my shadowy forces for some time now.
Jon Ronson
Most goat-related military activity is still highly classified.
Jon Ronson
The snowflake never needs to feel responsible for the avalanche.
Jon Ronson
I'm not what you'd call a fearless type of person.
Jon Ronson
Of course there are people who would like to eat breakfast without the screams of toddlers all around them, but those people should get over themselves and stop being stuck up and idiotic.
Jon Ronson
It is an awful lot harder, Tony told me, to convince people you're sane than it is to convince them you're crazy.
