• What we get in punk these days is the "anti-anti": Someone comes up with something, then the next generation is against that, and then the next generation is against that, and then that thing becomes a problem.

• The NRA disgraced itself this morning with a self-serving press event in which they demonized the media and the entertainment industry for gun violence in America, and advocated a national data base for all mentally ill persons. They apparently want armed guards in all American schools, and it seems, armed volunteers as well. Shocking.

• What a museum chooses to exhibit is sometimes less important than how such decisions are made and what values inform them. To have the crucial role of museum professionals usurped by self-serving tycoons in the name of economic imperative threatens not only the integrity of individual institutions but the very principle of art held in public trust.

• But our ways of learning about the world are strongly influenced by the social preconceptions and biased modes of thinking that each scientist must apply to any problem. The stereotype of a fully rational and objective scientific method, with individual scientists as logical (and interchangeable) robots, is self-serving mythology.

• Hoy en día, cuando el público piensa en los productos de la ciencia, lo más probable es que piense en problemas medioambientales, una industria armamentística improductiva, informes "científicos" descuidados o deshonestos, vítores de Livermore a favor de las "armas nucleares para siempre" y una enorme cantidad de ruido interesado sobre todos los temas, desde el calentamiento global hasta "el rostro de Dios".

• Politicians, real-estate agents, used-car salesmen, and advertising copy-writers are expected to stretch facts in self-serving directions, but scientists who falsify their results are regarded by their peers as committing an inexcusable crime. Yet the sad fact is that the history of science swarms with cases of outright fakery and instances of scientists who unconsciously distorted their work by seeing it through lenses of passionately held beliefs.

• La idea de que el esfuerzo creativo y las sustancias que alteran la mente están entrelazados es uno de los grandes mitos intelectuales pop de nuestro tiempo. En otras palabras, los escritores que abusan de las sustancias no son más que drogadictos y borrachos. Cualquier afirmación de que las drogas y el alcohol son necesarios para embotar una sensibilidad más fina no es más que la habitual mierda interesada. He oído a conductores de quitanieves alcohólicos afirmar lo mismo, que beben para calmar a los demonios.

• But there's no way round it-commercial success is a mark of failure for a graffiti artist. We're not supposed to be embraced in that way. When you look at how society rewards so many of the wrong people, it's hard not to view financial reimbursement as a badge of self-serving mediocrity.
