when I think of Vonnegut
I think what I’ve learned from Vonnegut is to be mature enough to know that reason doesn’t preclude sensibility,to know that utility isn’t defined strictly speaking by technology and last but not least that culture (and literature) achieves its purpose by educating the one who is willing to listen.

“ To begin with, we humans know less about the insides of our minds than we know about the outside world. Let me spell that out: compared to what we understand about how real objects work, we understand virtually nothing about what happens in the great computers inside our brains. Doesn’t it seem strange that we can think, not knowing what it means to think? Isn’t it bizarre that we can get ideas, yet not be able to explain what ideas are, or how they’re found, or grown, or made? Isn’t it strange how often we can better understand what our friends do than what we do ourselves?
