More From Will Rogers

If a dog is biting a black man, the black man should kill the dog, whether the dog is a police dog or a hound dog or any kind of dog. if a dog is fixed on a black man when that black man is doing nothing but trying to take advantage of what the government says is supposed to be his, then that black man should kill that dog or any two-legged dog who sets the dog on him.

"bad dog! bad dog! stole a biscuit, bad dog!" the dog is saying, "who are you to judge me? you human beings who’ve had genocide, war against people of different creeds, colors, religions, and i stole a biscuit?! is that a crime? people of the world!"

Take for example providing a guide dog for a blind person. that's a good thing to do, right? all right. it is a good thing to do. but you have to think what else you could do with the resources. it costs about $40,000 to train a guide dog and train the recipient so that the guide dog can be an effective help to a blind person. it costs somewhere between 20 and $50 to cure a blind person in a developing country if they have trachoma. so you do the sums, and you could provide one guide dog for one blind american or you could cure between 400 and 2,000 people of blindness.
Country Dog Thinking
Our moral reasoning is plagued by two illusions. the first illusion can be called the wag-the-dog illusion: we believe that our own moral judgment (the dog) is driven by our own moral reasoning (the tail). the second illusion can be called the wag-theother-dog's-tail illusion: in a moral argument, we expect the successful rebuttal of an opponent's arguments to change the opponent's mind. such a belief is like thinking that forcing a dog's tail to wag by moving it with your hand will make the dog happy.

I'm able to lead my life as well as make a film. my wife and my friends and people around me know that i do tend to distance myself a little bit during the making of a film, but i have to, it's a natural part of the process for me because you are indulging in the headspace of somebody else, you are investing in the psychology of somebody else and you are becoming somebody else, and so there isn't enough room for you and that somebody else.

A most important, but also most elusive, aspect of any tool is its influence on the habits of those who train themselves in its use. if the tool is a programming language this influence is, whether we like it or not, an influence on our thinking habits.... a programming language is a tool that has profound influence on our thinking habits.
