“It was a book [George Packer written on our presence in Nigeria] that was killed by the response of other people. Which sounds quite cowardly, perhaps, but it was the first manifestation of what is currently a really big issue: how political correctness defines the limits of what you can do.

“Sanity, as the project of keeping ourselves recognizably human, therefore has to limit the range of human experience. To keep faith with recognition we have to stay recognizable. Sanity, in other words, becomes a pressing preoccupation as soon as we recognize the importance of recognition.

We are tyrannized by our blind spots, and by whatever it is about ourselves that we find unacceptable.” HumansLimitsProjectsImportanceBlindThreatSpotsRecognitionRangeSanityHuman ExperienceUnwillingPreoccupationKeep The FaithBlind Spots Book:Going sane Source: Going sane
