[AGL] Another full moon party

[Charles Loving]

A bit of perspective for the era of Trump.
>From Neil Postman’s "Amusing Ourselves to Death": What Orwell feared were
those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no
reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.
Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared
those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and
egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley
feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we
would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial
culture.
