Okay so here's the thing about "good bones" It doesn't matter if the house has good bones as long as they're hidden under the layers and layers of rotting flesh The realtor's promise is a lie because to pull off a reno like that you have to rip literally everything outhttps://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1322501784951140353 …

Everyone's so damn worried about "maintaining continuity", all our political talk revolves around our worship of this moldy old shitty piece of paper we refuse to just rip up and throw in the bin All this talk of the preciousness of "legacy", of the memory of the ancestors

Well shit the cold hard truth of the world is you end up maintaining continuity whether you want to or not The ancestors will have their way with you, have in fact had their way with you since before you were born, and whether you choose to honor them has no bearing on this fact

Such is life in the world of cause and effect It's the opposite - the idea of a blank slate, a fresh start, a true revolution - that is truly precious, almost nonexistent

We really are a race of psychotic hoarders Fantasizing about the nightmare of being out on the streets with nothing - imagine if this house burned down! Imagine how much history would be lost! - while the weight of our accumulated trash threatens to bury us

Can you blame people for getting into doomsday cults and praying for the nukes to go flying Burning down the house is always an irrational act, sure, and yet when you're looking at years of old newspapers piled high because the last owner thought they "might need them someday"

I’m into this idea and want to hear more, but I’m also looking forward to your tweets next week about how you seriously never meant to become the mysterious Tyler Durden-esque leader of a global religious movement.
