Time for some Nicolás Gómez Dávila

 First aphorism I looked upon today:

—Hell is the place where man finds all his plans realized.

—Stupidities spread at the speed of light.

And then there is this from the Founding Questions blog:

…of course observing others’ behavior makes me wonder, reciprocally, about my own. Why did So-and-So do thus and such, which is so obviously stupid and counterproductive? If I can figure that out, maybe I can figure out why keep doing thus-and-such, which is so obviously stupid and counterproductive…
