"When society is made up of men who know no interior solitude it can no longer be held together by love: and consequently it is held together by a violent and abusive authority. But when men are violently deprived of the solitude and freedom which are their due, the society in which they live becomes putrid, it festers with servility, resentment and hate."
(Merton, Thomas. Thoughts in Solitude. NY: Farrar, Straus and Giroux. 1958. (pbk ed 1999), Preface, p. xii)

@sam @Strandjunker Can I just suggest that this shows he is as unfamiliar with doctors as he seems to be to Christ?

@cstross@wandering.shop @retech@defcon.social I'm not sure I want to know why you seem so familiar with it, though.

@mattblaze@federate.social I've always assumed that crime syndicates (and freelancers) all sent some bright younger members to locksmith school where they could pick up the latest tradecraft that they could then flip for their own nefarious uses. As I've been assuming about computer security folks.
And, continue to let the information flow. It wants to be free.

@mattblaze@federate.social where can I apply for one of those young relatives to come over and fix or update my devices?

@mattblaze@federate.social Maybe they had read the Epstein files, and this is to buy their silence

@mattwilcox Valid. And I could get behind that, I think. Many of the people in the USA would definitely not support that, though.

@mattwilcox I guess, then that, instead of registering to vote, Americans need to have some sort of "citizen identification card" or "system of citizenship tracking" to serve as an entry ticket to the polls?
Or does "citizen" = "resident"? Because we DO have a lot of non-citizens who pay taxes, live together, who are affected by gov't choices, but aren't allowed to vote.
