I'm convinced only people in the United States think reading fiction creates empathy. I do wonder, though, since our nation is so debauch, capital is so vile, our heroes such actual villains, that if we tend to look at art as a bastion of morality. *It's not, but maybe that's an impulse?

21/ All the rules and measures I talk about above are put in place because you don't want something to break.
Musk, Trump and the rest of the administration *want* to break things. Accelerationists are in the executive branch. Leadership like Secretaries and Directors *want to break things*
