More From Benjamin Disraeli

A free culture supports and protects creators and innovators. it does this directly by granting intellectual property rights. but it does so indirectly by limiting the reach of those rights, to guarantee that follow-on creators and innovators remain as free as possible from the control of the past. a free culture is not a culture without property, just as a free market is not a market in which everything is free. the opposite of a free culture is a "permission culture" -- a culture in which creators get to create only with the permission of the powerful, or of creators from the past.

In legal parlance, that is called 'the rational person test,' ... that's where somebody else says, 'even though we have no idea what this person would want in this circumstance in which they cannot themselves tell us what they want, a 'rational' person - meaning, myself - in that circumstance would want to die.' so you move very quickly from so-called voluntary euthanasia to involuntary euthanasia. these legal and medical developments are not simply hypothetical they're in the courts right now.

Fear Moving Want
She had spent all her life in feeling miserable; this misery was her native element; its fluctuations, its varying depths, alone save her the impression of moving and living. what bothers me is that a sense of misery, and nothing else, is not enough to make a permanent soul. my enormous and morose mademoiselle is all right on earth but impossible in eternity.
