Part two has one of the best openings I’ve ever read.
“When our food and clothing and housing all are born in the complication of mass production, mass method is bound to get into our thinking and to eliminate all other thinking. In our time mass or collective production has entered our economics, politics, even our religion, so that some nations have substituted the idea collective for the idea God.”

So imagine you’re me. You read for an hour on your gorgeous patio with your feet propped up on the table. Your legs start to feel a little asleep but you move em around a little. It’s 9 pm, love island time, so you sit up, grab your mason jar full of water. You stand, take a step, and your legs are completely asleep and give out on you. You fall, break the jar, hands go straight into the glass.
I got stitches.
