More From Denis Diderot

Life is a continuous flux. our nonhuman ancestors bred, generation after generation, and incrementally begat what we now deem to be the species homo sapiens - ourselves. there is nothing about our ancestral line or about our current biology that dictates how we will evolve in the future. nothing in the natural order demands that our descendants resemble us in any particular way. very likely, they will not resemble us. we will almost certainly transform ourselves, likely beyond recognition, in the generations to come.

Is it surprising that prisons resemble factories, schools, barracks, hospitals, which all resemble prisons?

People resemble still more the time in which they live, than they resemble their fathers.

Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. in the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.

But, if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars. the rays that come from these heavenly worlds, will separate between him and what he touches. one might think the atmosphere was made transparent with this design, to give man, in the heavenly bodies, the perpetual presence of the sublime... but every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.

We're born into a certain family, nation, class. but if we have no connection whatsoever with the worlds beyond the one we take for granted, then we too run the risk of drying up inside. our imagination might shrink; our hearts might dwindle, and our humanness might wither if we stay for too long inside our cultural cocoons. our friends, neighbors, colleagues, family - if all the people in our inner circle resemble us, it means we are surrounded with our mirror image.

We all run on two clocks. one is the outside clock, which ticks away our decades and brings us ceaselessly to the dry season. the other is the inside clock, where you are your own timekeeper and determine your own chronology, your own internal weather and your own rate of living. sometimes the inner clock runs itself out long before the outer one, and you see a dead man going through the motions of living.

Donald trump so far is sending a signal that he's going to run the government like his business and maybe that's going to work. it's a new approach but there's no doubt that he wants to run this as one continuing negotiation. it's just that who he's negotiating with that changes and he believes that he can impose better deals and the united states with benefit from them.

It is safe to say that the u.s. congress is now run by paid staffers, not by people elected to do the job.

I mean, the ace of spades example that jonah goldberg remembered here (and that made me remember it, too), is that chris matthews interview with [barack] obama, during the run-up to obamacare. not one question about it. and when you stop and think, there never is for the democrat. the media never questions the substance of anything the democrats do.
