Does radicalism require deliberate rejection of learning?
by Jack GrantHe’s a total radical, probably the most radical president we’ve ever had in terms of his definition of the power of the presidency. There’s nothing more dangerous than a radical who doesn’t have information, doesn’t learn from information and doesn’t learn from the past.
-Seymour Hersh, in a symposium at Tufts University
This statement brings a question to my mind: Is it possible to remain a radical if one does learn from information and does learn from the past?

Well Jack, I guess it depends on how you define “radical”. According to the cabal that currently controls the wheel of the US ship of state those who learn form information in the present and from the past are radicals. Six years ago I wasn’t a radical - today I am.
