Democracy is disruptive. Around the world, peaceful protesters are being demonised for this, but there is no right in a democratic civil society to be free of disruption.

It's extraordinary to think that if you walked into a room and said you had never heard of Hamlet, you would be regarded as a Philistine. But you could walk into the same room and say, 'I don't know what a proton is,' and people would just laugh and say, 'Why should you know?'
Parents should talk to their children, even when they are babies and can't talk back.
Ethics is not routinely taught to science students except in medicine, and I think it should be.
I think that good parenting should allow children to be children. That naivety and slightly open way of looking at the world is very valuable.
