The moment is subjective anyway. Most of the time the other people that create a social moment are fully able absorb that which you fear asserting.

• The difference between a sick person (Bill Gates) and a sick society is really quite small, and your ability to tell the difference (in your head conscious/unconscious?) is quite small.
