I am trying to prevent a bloodbath. Is that clear enough for you? I'm trying to prevent a civil war that could kill half the people in this world.
I have a kind of psychic invisibility. As long as I can stay scared, I can keep people from seeing me. That's what we have to count on.
I never got good at predicting what millions of people will suddenly decide is rational.
I've spent a lot of my life among people brighter than myself.
