#208: What Is Synthesis? What Is Control? (pt. 4)

Synthesis sublimates magic; the white Western order of calculus and death expands outward at the speed of light.

Plus: Gaza in hell, America in circles, stalking a vanished frontier.

Listening to this episode while Iran started the counteroffensive on Israel

I’m glad the Pökler parts are important to you - on my first read through I found them the most poignant, the most heartbreaking, the most terrifying. This is my favorite passage: She has talked to psychiatrists, she knows about the German male at puberty. On their backs in the meadows and mountains, watching the sky, masturbating, yearning. Destiny awaits, a darkness latent in the texture of the summer wind. Destiny will betray you, crush your ideals, deliver you into the same detestable Bürgerlichkeit as our father, sucking at his pipe on Sunday strolls after church past the row houses by the river—dress you in the gray uniform of another family man, and without a whimper you will serve out your time, fly from pain to duty, from joy to work, from commitment to neutrality. Destiny does all this to you.
