"when will be able to shatter the power of words by the movement of our skins?"

There are moments where this collection of words truly spoke to me: the fallibility of language, the domestication of all life by capital. Are we all dead, and is a new human being waiting to emerge from our corpses?

There are moments where I've learned things, but that's probably not the best relationship to have with this book: the embrace of pure negativity, being against society and all politics. Perhaps we should all live in the present and give up all hope in the future.

And finally, there are moments. LIKE WHAT THE HECK I DON'T UNDERSTAND TIME AT ALL. But maybe I'll understand it one day.

why don't we fear death?
