Depersonalization as the dismissal of useless individuality—losing everything one can lose and, even so, being. Little by little stripping, with an effort so mindful that one does not feel the pain, stripping, like getting rid of one’s own skin, one’s characteristics.

I want the material of things. Humanity is drenched in humanization, as if that were necessary; and that false humanization trips up man and trips up humanity. A thing exists that is fuller, deafer, deeper, less good, less bad, less pretty.

It’s Sunday. I am thinking in a subtractive mode. Giving stuff away, ending subscriptions, lessening. (aspire to silence you coward)
Some stuff I happily avoid. Here are the GLAD OMISSIONS:
SPORTS, NEWS, GAMES, BARS, TV
And the exceptions: I watch two hours of television per week. Currently, Mad Men and The Killing. Waiting for Breaking Bad to start. I’m cynical & cautious...
