“I used to blog….I think blogging as a form is open to this sort of real time ongoing learning process. … That went away, but in addition to that, as your profile rises people say, ‘Because you have this high profile, you must be predictive. Because you know.’ … You become a kind of authority. … What am I doing? I’m just making pronouncements now. I’ve become in the most vulgar sense a pundit. I’m not open to having my mind changed. I’m not trying to figure it out. I’m not curious. I’m not exploring. I am standing on a rock. I am sitting on a throne, and I’m making pronouncements about what the world is and that is sooo…boring.” ~ Ta-Nehisi Coates on The Ezra Klein Show
