    This week, my comrades and I started and finished Wage, Labor, and Capital. It was a doozy. I think that the reading was hard but not too difficult. I learned some new things, and I know for sure I missed some things too. All in all, I’m glad my group is finally moving out of philosophy and starting economics, even if economics hurts my brain and it’s not my favorite.

    I tried starting “The Problem of Recognition in Transitional States, or Sympathy for the Monster (2024)”. I’ve seen a lot of praise heaped on this article, so I want to read it badly, but sometimes the language is too difficult for me to understand. I really want someone with a higher reading comprehension to sit down and read with me. Sadge.

      Unfortunately, Frome’s prose does hold back her writings from a pedagogical perspective. As brilliant as they often are, they are written from a more academic perspective, which often makes them difficult to parse.
