“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

What Are You Up To Professor Morton?

I'm writing a very long essay on Buddhaphobia. I have written twelve thousand words in a day.

And thus Dr. Morton debunked the myth that 12 thousand words a day could only be done with assistance from benzadrine. What's your secret, Dr. Morton? Perhaps a deeper understanding of Buddhist praxis than Kerouac exercised?
