“…if the inmates are vermin, it is logical that they should be killed by poison gas; if they are degenerate, they should not be allowed to contaminate the population; if they have "slave-like souls" (Himmler), no one should waste his time trying to re-educate them.” -Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

If there is only one article you read about the situation between Israel, Palestine, and Hamas, make it this one.
An incredible, sharp, nuanced, and insightful piece.

Everything is possible is a core ideological tenant of totalitarianism. And if all claimed things that are possible are made true by the adherents, everything that is possible is true. The totalitarian authority who states the possibilities is all powerful.

Prefer physical books for being able to mark up, take snapshots, and for future memory reference.

I'm 70% of the way done #writing my current #book.
One reason I'm sorta stuck is the part I'm at is harder/impossible to do on my phone.
I'll have a note in Evernote with 4 or 5 scanned pages. The text is OCRed. But I've got to read through it, copy and paste elements into my Google doc.
So, I've got to have to use my computer to work on things.
This creates friction. The more friction there is, the more things are harder to start. More friction means more delays.
I often feel like Trinity in this moment... "Jason, get up!"
