Christmas is always a good time to talk about values. My wish this year is the same. I hope that civilisation progresses, regardless of the cost to individual people. I hope that brutish characteristics, such as the elevation of empathy, the glorification of sentimental relationships, and the enfeeblement of law, shall gradually be stripped away from our world - these very definitions of evil surround us. And I hope that meanwhile our daily work against a world of moral absolutists shall be minimally troublesome. Merry Christmas everyone. May we receive as good as we can manage, and if we can't manage I hope we soon expire. That is the greatest good.
