Status Updates From Sun and Steel

ch4, 42:00m

"The tragic pathos is born when the perfectly average sensibility momentarily takes unto itself a privileged nobility that keeps others at a distance....it follows that he who dabbles in words can create tragedy, but cannot participate in it"

And so, physical effort clarifies words due to direct interaction with reality, which pairs very interestingly with Embodiment theory

“ As a personal history, it will, I suspect, be unlike anything seen before, and as such exceedingly difficult to follow.”

It seems to me that Sun & Steel is written so incredibly vague & meandering for no other reason than to appear profound. So many words just to say that the author found joy in exercise
