Yes, for the record, I do contemplate if back in December 2015 if I would have been better off #begging on Twitter that I would pay $13.13 for every #Retweet - $180,000 total - (13 per hour cut) on the topic of #PeterPomerantsev 2014 #RickRoderick 1993

"The spectacle of it. I mean, when humans were less important than #God we could understand because he built everything. When we are less important than a #Nintendo we get confused. That’s when we start thinking that we are under siege." - #Texan #RickRoderick 1993, Duke University

"Tarski says the sentence “Snow is white” – and he puts “Snow is white” in quotation marks – is true, if and only if snow is white. I don’t expect anybody in the audience to gasp, if you follow me.
