Well, I read it. Or at least, I looked at the page and I understood the words. I may have to go back and do that again before I can truly say "I read it". There's an awful lot to try to unpack. Thank you for trying to do that.

As Arendt noted, people who *weren't* intellectuals were sometimes better at responding to injustice, while her fellow academics found ways to spin what was happening into academic products.

That's something that happens to this day. People who stay in lives of literary or academic work sometimes confuse what they're doing with meaningful activism.

That's the danger I was working through: a world without enough moral action, but plenty of prose.

Thank you for sitting with it.

@MLClark It is devastating that Arendt really is the intellectual of our times. @stueytheround
