So incredible.. obviously more affecting than the d -day history because I sort of, well I did also live through that day, even if I was on the other side of the world. I guess I was 9. Guess I was pretty dumb for a 9 yo cos it took me a while to realize the buildings were real and not from a movie. I remember my uncle going “holy fuck!” At the tv… such a good record tho… when memory becomes history…

Ugh. But have to admit.. so much heroism in this book.. which the pessimist in me immediately goes: see they don’t last as long as the assholes and the assholes get to reproduce more and we get more assholes.

Ugh the morbid curiosity strikes again and this is not good for my mental health. 9/11 feels more horrific the older I get. Probably makes sense cos now I’m in the same life stage as all those people working in those corporate offices. It’s just so so sad. And preventable? I don’t know. Like how I always feel in times like this: our species is cooked
