I'm very grateful my brain was fully developed before I got a smartphone and social media. So many young people growing up untethered from reality

_Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed._ _That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore._ _They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?_ —A.R. Moxon
