—Don’t you think the vast majority of the chaos in the world is caused by a relatively small group of disappointed men?——— I don’t know. Could be.— The men who haven’t gotten the work they expected to get. The men who don’t get the promotion they expected. The men who are dropped in a jungle or a desert and expected video games and got mundanity and depravity and friends dying like animals. These men can’t be left to mix with the rest of society. Something bad always happens. Dave Eggers
