en We all can take a rational position and denounce violence but it's a bit more difficult to try to figure out why it has such a hold on us. It's too easy to say bad people do bad things. I'm interested in the ways modern society is horrified and fascinated by violence at the same time.

en The whole religious complexion of the modern world is due to the absence from Jerusalem of a lunatic asylum.
