#2I can understand how he feels. But haters gonna hate, criminals gonna crime. He threw some new thoughts into the world, he made people think. surely he did not demagnetize people's moral compasses.
It reeks of illusions of grandeur. Sure it is a nice piece, but he overestimates the influence imho. Similar to William Gibson thinking he is the father of things Steam Punk ever.
Edit: Indeed I meant cyber punk.

#8I feel like the moment you put any idea out there you have the potential to influence people unexpectedly, and be at peace with that.
I saw a youtube interview of an addict who said he started taking painkillers regularly because he saw House doing it. Surely the writers didn’t know they were setting up some kid in suburban America up for addiction by giving him that mannerism

A direct translation is: "A Clockwork Orange, the workings (machinery pieces [1]) of violence."
An even more literal alternative is: "A mechanical orange, the machinery pieces of violence."
