Thoughts working their way out

Col Lang's definition of a neocon as one who "believes in a homogeneous future" has been lurking in the back of my mind for the past few days. It's one of those aphorisms that change entire viewpoints just a bit, just like Thomas Sowell's notion of the constrained vs the unconstrained view of human nature.

More thoughts later.

Line of the moment

From Thomas Sowell

"Intellectuals' ability to think of people in the abstract is a dangerous talent in a world where people differ in all the ways that make them people."
