I love these two so much (and their reacting to bfu as well)

Today, being an idiot in the classical sense of the word is actually becoming a respectable way to live...

The ancient Greek word idiotes was a derogatory term for somebody who is entirely taken up with private concerns bearing little or no relation to those of society as a whole...

And then there’s the fact that Americans tend to think that the “freedom” for which so many have fought and died means the freedom to live as one pleases, so long as it doesn’t “hurt” others. That can serve as a tidy rationalization for idiocy, if that’s what one wants...

It's important to recognize respectable idiocy as a problem, lest the fabric of civil society weaken more than it already has. The beginning of a solution lies not in giving up prosperity, but in a healthier understanding of freedom. True as opposed to “crippled” freedom is not the capacity to define or maximize options for oneself, but the capacity to choose good ones without coercion...
