“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

Hell III: I'm excited

 ...did you know this blog has been getting up 100,000 hits a day since I started to talk about the Hell book? I'm really surprised. There was a huge spike when I announced I had been working with Bjork--200,000 hits! But this looks more sustained and it's half that size. When you consider that the normal number is about 20,000 a day, and that during the Hyperobjects time it was about 50,000, you'll get a sense of why I'm very excited to be about to share Hell with you. Hyperobjects already sold out its first edition by the time it hit the shelves...I wonder what will happen with Hell

I'm ready to talk Christianity. I was surprised that the readers told me I was writing theology, but since then I've come to accept it. 

I'm fed up with how people talk revenge and Old Testament vibes in my line of work. Even the crudest idea of mercy is up a level from there. Until people like me figure that out, no one else will listen to us.
