Civilisation is the elaborate process by which mankind invents institutions to protect itself from human nature, then places human beings in charge of them.

THE PROFESSOR CORRECTS: Genius is a word employed by ordinary men whenever they become too indolent to understand discipline.

THE PROFESSOR OBSERVES: Never underestimate a fool. He has no idea what he will do next.

5/5 Stars - Reedsy "Moriarty's character was written in such a complex yet somehow simple fashion where we finally got to understand the depth of his rivalry with Holmes" www.kickstarter.com/projects/mx-... @dm-hagar.bsky.social @booksherlockholmes.bsky.social

THE PROFESSOR CORRECTS: Most men seek evidence for their conclusions. Holmes sought conclusions worthy of the evidence. The distinction explains his loneliness.

MORIARTY'S MARGINALIA: The newspapers believe themselves historians because they possess ink. A crow standing upon a cathedral does not thereby become an archbishop.

THE PROFESSOR'S AXIOM: Kindness is admirable. Competence is indispensable. The world habitually mistakes the former for the latter until calamity requires arithmetic.

Every man keeps a ledger. Mine happens to contain murders, mathematics, and corrections to Dr. Watson. I now invite the public to examine the accounts. @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/mx-...

Imagine the indignity. I spent years constructing the most sophisticated criminal enterprise in Europe. Today I am expected to ask strangers on the Internet to click a button. @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/mx-...

THE PROFESSOR CORRECTS: Mr. Holmes never impressed me by being clever. London is full of clever men. He impressed me by refusing to lie to himself.

FROM THE PROFESSOR'S DESK: I am informed that modern society requires one to possess an "online presence." Formerly, reputation was acquired by accomplishment. Progress is a curious word.

David Hagar @dm-hagar.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

THE PROFESSOR CORRECTS: There are those who imagine Holmes and I hated one another. How provincial. Hatred is common. Worthy opposition is exceedingly rare.

MORIARTY'S MARGINALIA: Civilisation survives not because the virtuous outnumber the wicked, but because the incompetent outnumber them both.

David Hagar @dm-hagar.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

MORIARTY’S MARGINALIA: The common reader asks whether Sherlock Holmes was good. A childish question. Ask whether he was exact. Ask whether he saw clearly when lesser men made fog of their own sentiment. Goodness is abundant in sermons. Exactitude is rare.

Most first novels die in the middle. Not because the writing is bad, but because nothing turns. Before I drafted a word of Moriarty's Defence of Sherlock Holmes, I wrote a chapter list where every chapter had one required job: the state of the story at the end must not equal the state at the start.
