I have not posted anything in a while. I've worked on two entries, but neither passed muster. But to prove I'm still in the blogging neighborhood, I offer this short entry on the quote of the day, highlighted in the emailed NY Times, April 27 edition.
I love it because first, I agree with it; second, it speaks to the ambiguity of life beyond full explanation or control; and, third, the quote itself is richly ironic. Army Brig. Gen. H. R. McMaster is concerned with the growing use of PowerPoint presentations by military commanders. He said,
“It’s dangerous because it can create the illusion of understanding and the illusion of control. Some problems in the world are not bullet-izable.”
