“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

Ian Bogost on a Thing that Happened to Us Last Week

The cool bit was falling around laughing with Ian about it all, which got us a lot of suspicious looks from the wait staff. Who kept on and on harassing us about whether we were enjoying it.
