From the naturalistic point of view all men are equal. There are only two exceptions to this rule of naturalistic equality: geniuses and idiots.
Nothing is absolute with the debatable exceptions of this statement and death.
As human beings we are vulnerable to confusing the unprecedented with the improbable. In our everyday experience if something has never happened before we are generally safe in assuming it is not going to happen in the future but the exceptions can kill you and climate change is one of those exceptions.
To not be modest about it you'll find that with only a couple of exceptions most of the musicians that I've worked with have done their best work by far with me.
The reason why I love people and writing about them is because they don't always respond with hate and anger. If they did I wouldn't have a story to tell. Who wants to know about someone who was brutalised and became brutal? I'm interested in the exceptions.
