Blaise Pascal and the Donald

I do find it amazing (and amusing) the number of scrapes President Trump gets himself in. He seems constitutionally incapable of just being.

Maybe, like more and more people nowadays, he thrives on adrenaline, and without that potent stimulant, feels as though life is a sad, and oh-so-long melodrama.

Indeed, many people seem unable to sit still in a room by themselves, solely with their thoughts and feelings (Pascal talked about the consequences).

I struggle with this too.

Our culture doesn't hold that act in high esteem. It surely won't in the future.
