Mesoudi makes these arguments very well and his book is a very good read.”

“Balance and control come from healthy anger. This is just as aggressive as the unhealthy kind. But it is based on a belief and hope for change in social roles and institutions. Healthy anger demands change and creates the confrontations needed for change to occur.

I think, in fact, that one could give that as a definition of revolution.”
