A small minority of people are carrying the weight in our world. The other ninety-nine percent are maggots feeding on the work of the few without any hint of gratitude or respect. They undermine everything. Each giant step forward is counterbalanced by a million small and petty retrogressions. Only in a totalitarian state is any form of social progress even remotely possible. And who knows if “progress” is something we can even come to terms with?
