Literary Hub 8Nowogrodzki 9

 

[L]ooking forward, it's very likely that our world's highest level decisions--closed-door and situation-room play calls and audibles that will almost definitely determine the future of our planet--will increasingly be made by power-hungry, ego-maniac, arguably unqualified individuals. Nearly all of whom, at least for the time being, appear to be vane, war-mongering, deeply fearful men, who lack empathy and intuition and who are definitely not scientists--nor even scientifically inclined or motivated.
-- Peter Nowogrodzki. Ted Chiang On Arrival, The Boredom Of Moviemaking, And The Princess Bride Literary Hub (November 29, 2016).
