Untouchable topics abound in democratic times. Race, illnesses, climate, end up being caustic substances there. Unspeakable there is anything that might imply that humanity is not causa sui.

    The original Spanish is:

    Los temas intocables abundan en tiempos democráticos. Raza, morbos, clima, resultan allí substancias caústicas. Nefando es allí lo que pueda implicar que la humanidad no es causa sui.

    Causa sui is a Latin phrase meaning "cause of itself."
