From Arthur Silber on The Impossibility of Discussing Anything at All:
For now, I will leave you with one very simple idea, one I often express to friends these days. Even though I write long essays about current events, history and other subjects, as I contemplate the growing devastation around the world, I have one thought above all others. I simply want to say to everyone: Look, we can talk about anything you want. We’ll talk for as long as it takes. We’ll work it out, even if takes years. But, please, for God’s sake:
STOP KILLING PEOPLE.
That’s all. That’s everything.
