    • Can authors write characters that are smarter than they are? (PKD claimed to do that in his last book with Angel Archer). Must reread that.
    • MotT uses spirals frequently. And the show stands for something...something left out of mainstream educated opinion... "time is a flat circle"...
    • "the things our civilization likes are those that make things amenable to control" – and ok, yes, even in intellectual institutions this pressure for control, standardization, flatness. It's bureaucracy that they don't like. Administration.
    • Control and fear – Meillassoux claims to have done away with mystery (?).
    • PF has a good word for moderns and modernism. OK. "The problem is we aren't modern enough" – OK. 👍 .
    • Hearing aids as miracles (justifyijng modenism). OK, but you know, they aren't really! They are just technic, put to good human use!
