Conversely, if you're unsatisfied with yourself, making your mirror distort your reflection will only make things worse.
I reserve a special level of contempt for people who think they can "fix" society by using force or authority to control how other people think, speak, and feel.
- senthil_rajasek 8y agoA distorting mirror is not what Vint is suggesting, the problem is not the mirror it's the subject, fix the subject is what I take out of that quote. Violence or force is not the only answer to fix society I have seen the light of knowledge work miracles on certain societal problems.
- quotemstr 8y agoVint isn't suggesting that we do that, but a lot of other people are. Nothing good can come of it; the article is part of the backlash against this impulse. (And that should be disconcerting: backlashes have a way of being worse than whatever it is they're fighting.)
