And the more one is conscious of one's political bias, the more chance one has of acting politically without sacrificing one's aesthetic and intellectual integrity.","author":"George Orwell","tags":["biases","democracy","essayist","on-writing","political","politics","purpose","totalitarianism","world-war-ii"],"id":22173,"author_id":"George+Orwell"},{"text":"As the unexpected becomes ordinary, the spotlight shifts once again to land where your brain thinks it will get more informational bang for the attentional buck.","author":"Gregory C.
