Quote On Power Mongering October 17, 2004, New York Times Magazine article by writer Ron Suskind, quoting an unnamed aide to George W. Bush: The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." ... "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do." The person was saying that when his bunch acquires enough power, they can defy reality in addition to everyone else and that state was some sort of godly superiority. Being an empire was needed to break into the fantasy world devoid of objective realities. It takes power to overwhelm rational existence.
