    To be fair, I feel like almost everyone I’ve ever met would be too emotional to be president.

    We failed pretty horrifically at screening the bullshit out though. Like, god damn.

      The greatest illusion of humanity is that reason is a default state.

      We are hormonal meat beasts that require decades to tame to any productive end and even still we are all literally one phone call away from losing our shit completely.
