Many of our problems are home-grown. Gordon Brown regularly advised the rest of the world to follow his British model of growth. But the model was flawed. It led to the highest level of household debt in relation to income in the world. ↗

We're in a situation where the solutions that we have are not good enough. The way to improve anything is to have a discussion about its flaws. To understand what the one or two or three things are about it that would help fix it. The DMCA makes it dangerous to have that conversation. ↗

It used to be that you had to make female TV characters perfect so no one would be offended by your 'portrayal' of women.

The human element, the human flaw and the human nobility - those are the reasons that chess matches are won or lost. ↗

The dilemma of modern medicine, and the underlying central flaw in medical education and, most of all, in the training of interns, is the irresistible drive to do something, anything. It is expected by patients and too often agreed to by their doctors, in the face of ignorance. ↗

The great thing about irony is that it splits things apart, gets up above them so we can see the flaws and hypocrisies and duplicates. ↗
