How come I can only relate to dead people?
From Machiavelli's Letter to Francesco Vettori:
When evening comes, I return to my house and go into my study. At the door, I take off my clothes of the day, covered with mud and mire, and I put on regal and courtly garments; and decently re-clothed, I enter the courts of ancient men, where, received by them lovingly, I feed on the food that alone is mine and that I was born for. There I am not ashamed to speak with them and to ask them the reason for their actions; and they in their humanity reply to me. And for the space of four hours I feel no boredom, I forget every pain, I do not fear poverty, death does not frighten me. I deliver myself entirely to them.

"I'm so despondent about everything. Everything I try goes totally wrong. There's no escape from this hole here. I feel so drained. So far, I still haven't found a real purpose in life. Sometimes i'm afraid to get out of bed in the morning. There's nothing to get up for. Joseph Goebells 1924

I think about this quote all the time. It gets truer all the time. How come I can only relate to dead people?
i read that quote in the murdoch murdoch voice :tiger:

"If you have something great in view you must address yourself to posterity: only then, to be sure, you will probably remain unknown to your contemporaries; you will be like a man compelled to spend his life on a desert island and there toiling to erect a memorial so that future seafarers shall know he once existed" Schopenhauer

I feel like I am living my life within the flip notes of history and it pains me to know every man like me to ever exist suffered just like this in their own day. I wonder if our people will be remembered as we remember the Roman Empire, as if we never were. It is a mere miracle that I was born in the gap generation created by the internet, and only within this 15 year period before the Government was able to seize control of the internet could someone as desocialized as me even come to be. Everyone born before me is propagandized by 9/11 and everyone born after me by the George Floyd massacre.
