"We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality."

[CJCRANE]

"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".

that is what happens when you are no longer a member of "the reality-based community"......

It is written pointing out that he no longer agreed with those in the reality based camp of thought...

2. Memorable quote

I remember reading it near the time it was made and thinking "this isn't likely to turn out well..."
