Source Context
Recovered passages from the original issue text. When the raw archive preserved outbound links inside the source passage, they are listed directly under the quote.
In Joan Didion’s essay “The Women’s Movement” she talks about an eternal infantilization inherent to a life that is all The Big Apple and Chasing Dreams. If every responsibility outside oneself becomes oppressive, then liberation becomes a childlike solitude wherein you answer to no one. You can’t then really answer - even to yourself. I revisited this essay this week. I liked it more now. I like to quantify things. I would like to quantify the time I could theoretically spend spinning my wheels. I wish I could quantify how many thoughts I’ve ever had that are products of pure delusion.
