It's an interesting fact that the progress of science was dictated by the Enlightenment, and utilized by the new class of wealthy and educated who strove to vanquish the old order of aristocrats and religious authority.

The people of Ankh-Morpork had a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to entertainment, and while they were looking forward to seeing a dragon slain, they’d be happy to settle instead for seeing someone being baked alive in his own armor.

Few of us would want to be judged against who we were years ago rather than by who we are today. So why is this so often the standard for people living with #Alzheimers or other forms of #dementia? Let's accept ourselves more and judge each other less.
