"Falling back into Berlant after dwelling elsewhere for a while, and immediately I am drawn in, overwhelmed and inspired at once. What a thinker….What a writer… what a theorist…. So much of this work is present in their later work Cruel Optimism as well, which is so clear." May 04, 2026 04:45AM

Karl Marx
“The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt—your capital. The less you are, the less you express your life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life and the greater is the saving of your alienated being.”
Karl Marx, Economic & Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844
