"in each case they believed that “the facts” existed and were more or less discoverable" I recently found a graduation card, which an old classmate gave me: The front is a picture of some abstract art. The inside says, "Yeah... I don't get it either." Underneath the pre-printed punchline, my friend wrote, "But that does not mean that it cannot be gotten!" I could use more friends like him these days. "This prospect frightens me much more than bombs" Me too, and that's why 1984 was too scary for me to finish. Bombs occupy physical space, they can't be nowhere and they can't be in two places at once. They are pretty easy to understand, and they can explode once. Mind-viruses don't kill as quickly, but they aren't subject to any of the limitations of a physical weapon, either. They can't be captured or destroyed, and as far as I know, dogs cannot sniff for them.
