A quotation from Orwell

The Catholic and the Communist are alike in assuming that an opponent cannot be both honest and intelligent. Each of them tacitly claims that “the truth” has already been revealed, and that the heretic, if he is not simply a fool, is secretly aware of “the truth” and merely resists it out of selfish motives.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]

Le Guin leans on an essay by William James, but what does that have to do with all our garden talk? It's about our blind spots and our privilege. We dig into the key question in James's essay and worry a bit.

There's a #satirical #article in #Haaretz that made me think of you. By the way, I do not hate #Baerbock because of her contempt for #GideonLevy, whom I greatly respect, but because of her #betrayal of herself, because of her contempt for the great #Israeli #opposition #women, including those who write for Haaretz, which is arguably the opposite of #feminist foreign policy, and because of all her #lies.
