Never ascribe to pandering what may be actually held views.


One side effect of living in a media-aware world is that the standard 
accusation these days is that messages are insincere because they have 
been shaped to appeal to some group. This of course conflates sincerity 
with being a good message, and that group appeal cannot happen 
naturally. A bit like the previous generation's assumption that people 
must have been bought to hold the views they hold.

- This message was brought to you by the giant neoliberal biotech 
American elite conspiracy, proud sponsor of transhumanism. That was at 
least what I was told by the French intellectuals.
