Notes and topics

"Fanaticism I understand to mean an obsessive preoccupation with a particular issue, to the exclusion of all other things. I think it is true to say that most fanaticisms are pernicious, but I must confess to feel that the issue of total annihilation of our minds and our civilisation obsesses me in the way that I describe."
