Thank you so much, I resonated, connected and agreed with a lot in this piece of writing, it made lots of sense to me and it's made me want to find out more about Ernst Junger. I resonate with being an anarch myself, I had a conversation with someone today on social media who wanted all the racists off her page and I mentioned diplomatically that I thought her reasoning and anger to be misdirected. I'm just not pulled into the theatre, I can see it for what it is but that's not to say that I don't find myself worrying a heck of a lot about certain things I wish I could be more detached like the anarch in that respect. Also I've learnt a lot from reading this and will read a few times so that it sinks in properly. Excellent read 👌

"A square sees a sphere. The square’s perception of the third dimension is limited to the bounds of his reality in the second dimension. So, the 3D sphere looks like a growing and shrinking circle. The square, confined to the second dimension, cannot perceive the truth of the sphere. " - Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott Abbott https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/201
