Fake Empire

“Individuals don’t simply choose, they compete against practically all friends, foes, and strangers, buffeted by the tides of history, and mostly they are defeated. The lie that goes by the name of ‘settling’ disguises this defeat as a matter of choice.” — Christian Lorentzen

Turn the light out say goodnight
