This semester, I'm taking a seminar about teaching. The day before yesterday, the instructor was talking about scenarios in which you might have to teach a class on short notice. He said "Suppose, for example, Professor X was in some kind of disabling accident." I said "And that's why Professor X uses a wheelchair now."

"Generally the plan was to get away from government and allow the natural virtue of man to assert itself. What more can you ask for as an explanation of failure?" —B. F. Skinner (as Frazier in Walden Two)
Yeah, that was axiomatic. Popular stuff is popular.
My remarks on the previous occasion come across rather harsh, and for that I apologize.
But yeah I can see that one going over better.
