The point of quarantine in a pandemic: “ to grow”
On pg 73, the author states, “Boredom, said this Monsieur Barthes, is not far from bliss; one regards boredom from the shores of pleasure. Exactly so. The condition of the modern foetus. Just think: nothing to do but be and grow, where growing is hardly a conscious act. The joy of pure existence, the tedium of undifferentiated days.” Beautifully said!

My questions on the book so far: Can an unborn fetus experience pain? If so, how do we measure this?
