Notes
…since the ensuing dialogue (in an interview) exists for commercial purposes, both parties accept an acceleration of intimacy.
…the most contemporary people are answering questions not because they’re flattered by the attention; they’re answering questions because they feel as though they deserve to be asked. About everything. Their opinions are special, so they are entitled to a public forum. Their voice is supposed to be heard, lest their life become empty.
(Ralph Samson) was needed to remind people that their own self-imposed mediocrity is better than choking on transcendence…Only an adult can feel good about someone else’s failure.
