day no. 15,838: the greatest threat to the present mischief

"Above all we do not allow the dead to rise up against us.” -- George Orwell, 1984

The greatest threat to the present mischief is history.

The resurrection will kill the insurrection.

"Naturally, since I myself am a writer, I do not wish the ordinary reader to read no modern books. But if he must read only the new or only the old, I would advise him to read the old." -- C.S. Lewis, Introduction to Athanasius' On the Incarnation

When we are anchored in history, we are armed for the moment.
