i will finish this book even if it kills me

ok kundera you are redeeming yourself
i always read books like this at points in my life where the writing is just way too specific to me. finishing chapters and just staring at the street from the cafe in silence for 10 minutes to process.

saying accumulation of capital only extends as far as a mans life is a remarkably shallow economic analysis. 1st, inheritance has been a thing since the dawn of time, 2nd personal ownership isnt the only form of accumulation. private ownership of capital through corporations and etc. is the main way the bourgeoisie have control of capital, not through personal owning of plots of land. idk. maybe I misunderstood tho.

he's just like me fr

a world where anything goes that can be negotiated !

the section on postmodern technological life being fragmented is the most relatable thing i've read in a while - i have been complaining about this exact thing for the past year or so as i have felt more and more oversaturated with the constant access. drove me away from social media, the internet generally, and even responding to texts. social saturation.

"naming music that is nearly a hundred years old postmodern is not willfully perverse..."
