Речь

"Поэтому никакие звания и почести не могут нам приносить того беспримесного счастья, о которых щебечут в таких случаях нынешние средства массовой информации."

"Мне хотелось бы высказаться здесь в защиту двух простейших идей, которые прежде считались очевидными и даже просто банальными, а теперь звучат очень немодно.
Первое:
Истина существует и целью науки является её поиск!
Второе:
В любом обсуждаемом вопросе профессионал - если он действительно профессионал, а не просто носитель казенных титулов - в нормальном случае более прав, чем дилетант.

Им противостоят положения гораздо более модные:
Истины не существует, существует лишь множество мнений, или, говоря языком постмодернизма – множество текстов.
По любому вопросу ничье мнение не весит более чем мнение кого-то иного.

sfgate: "how come there are so many people out on the street all day, seemingly not working?"

There are helpful statistics to shed light on the out-and-about. In 2005, 14 percent of San Franciscans 5 and older reported a disability -- nearly 100,000 people. Over 40,000 people were self-employed. Almost 70,000 were in college or grad school. Stereotypes about the contemporary human condition aside, a great many people don't inhabit cubicles.

"John," who is 18 and was strolling through Yerba Buena Gardens one Thursday morning, laid out his typical itinerary: "Watch the grass grow, get high, hit on the ladies." How does he pay rent? "If you ask 100 girls for $10, that's $1,000, that's rent," he explained logically. How does he get them to part with their $10? "I tell them I can't live without them," he answered, with some disappointment at the caliber of question, as though he'd been asked how many moons our planet has.

...

Aren't we the country that other countries make fun of for working too much?

...

Keith Kessler, 38, assumes the other laptoppers are mostly Web designers or students. He himself is a lawyer at a downtown firm. He's been there long enough that he can do legal research or work on a memo from here.

...

Shauna, 24. "I don't work. I'm a trust-fund baby," she said, with a nice mix of self-deprecation and not-too-much self-deprecation. What did she do today? "Got up at noon. Farted around. Made corn on the cob. Went to buy a shirt. Came to Ritual."

fuck java!

Yes, I am really really tired of this mediocre language for the millions. You cannot introduce any new idea here, because tons of frameworks, ides, idiots will not understand you if you just write something new. Something new. I don't know how crazybob had managed to sell his contraption to the public, or another trick, exception runtimization. But these are very, very small things, and you can only sell them to the best; others will just shout "Achtung! Rules Broken!".

Now... have to look for something next. But I wonder what next.
