In third grade I did a blue ribbon science fair project on ESP.

The gulf between these two epochs is something I will struggle to understand for the rest of my life.
As the great Jonathan Swift said:
When a true genius appears in the world you may know him by this sign; that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.

Pier Paolo Pasolini
Born on this day in 1922
“But nowadays it’s the opposite. The regime is a democratic one. Even so that indoctrination, that kind of homologation, that fascism couldn’t obtain at all.. The power of today, which is the consumeristic civilization instead realizes it perfectly, destroying all the specific reality. Taking away reality to the different ways of being human….. And this thing happened so quickly that we didn’t even notice!”
