Thought for the day:
"Good ideas don't require force — this simple phrase compacts centuries of philosophy into one powerful concept: if your idea requires forcing peaceful people into compliance, then it is not a good idea. it doesn't matter what outcome you are trying to achieve; the ends do not justify the means."
— Sarah Perry
