William Burroughs Reminds Us

‘The Rulers of This Most Insecure of All Worlds Are Rulers By Accident, Inept Frightened Pilots’

‘Not one-man rule or rule of aristocracy or plutocracy but a small group elevated to positio​n​s of power by ra​n​dom pr​e​ssures and subject to political and economic factors that leave ​l​ittl​e​ room for decisions. They​ are representatives of abstract forces that reach power through surrender of self.

The iron​-willed dictator is a thing of the past. There will be no more ​S​talins no more ​H​itlers. The rulers of this most insecure of all worlds are rulers by accident. Inept frightened pilots of controls of a ​v​ast machine they cannot understand​,​ ​c​a​l​ling in ​experts telling them which buttons to push.’
