Marxism, Freudianism, global warming. These are proof - of which history offers so many examples - that people can be suckers on a grand scale.

Like many physical diseases, anti-Semitism is highly infectious, and can become endemic in certain localities and societies.

The science-fictional motif of lethal, infectious information - bad memes - is a fascinating one, with an extended history. One of the earliest instances is Robert W. Chambers's 'The King in Yellow' from 1895. Chambers's conceit is a malevolent play: read beyond Act II, and you go mad.

All of the agreed-upon pariahs throughout pop-culture history put their identities into the thing we decry. And yet we derive our own identities from the act of hating.

The bipolar world of the Cold War is history. The new world order, however, is not the One World dreamed of by Wilsonian idealists.

There has to be a common policy.

I can't tell you how many thousands of small moments that I've had with employees in our company that have been nothing more than a one-on-one.
