    Well thanks to the memory thing I lost your reply for a month. I too read articles and watch and listen to books but the only part of my memory that works close to normal is my involuntary episodic memory so I sort of have to take an information bath and hope anything will make it through to be triggered later. History is very dry and so is philosophy which I think would be what makes up theory generally, that means cognitive friction. On some level you have absorbed some of the spirit of the thing or you wouldn’t be a leftist, and there is always fully automated space communism for the days you cant handle the cognitive burden. Patrick is a treasure

      All good.

      Also, since we last spoke I ended up reading The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed, which I both loved very much. Since we share this boat of distaste for dry reading, you might find them similarly worthwhile to read.
