“[M]ost people get worse as they grow older, because they become more like themselves.”
Paul Krugman stating a particular example from Issawi’s Law on the conservation of evil.
That may be the single most insightful line that has ever appeared on this blog (or anywhere for that matter).
It is certainly the scariest line that has appeared here.
That reminds me of the Chuck Jones insight that ‘Bugs Bunny is the person we would probably all like to be. Daffy Duck is the person we probably really are.’
