[MD] The Edge 2006 Annual Question

[Michael Hamilton]

inadequacy, and even creates a structure of thought to demonstrate its
own inadequacy - in the same way as society admitted its own
inadequacy by relaxing its powers of coercion to allow individual
liberty - which we now can recognise was done in the service of DQ.

Promise I'll stop now! :)

Mike
