"At the end of formal humanism and philosophic renunciation, there is Hitler."

He is so funny. Why are so many thinkers i love misanthropes?

“The history of astrology developed out of white supremacy and capitalism and patricarchy” (12) how can you say this when astrology existed before any of those things?
