“…most people will still opt for privacy and autonomy over technical efficiency and community interest.”

While obvious, this blew my mind. Is this perhaps why we are so lonely? Privacy and autonomy are optimized in isolation. But that is not where we are humans find most of our happiness and contentment.

“Democracy dies in darkness” also comes to mind when optimizing for privacy and the U.S‘s current political issues.

jewright My husband works with a man from Afganistán, and this is what he hates about America. He doesn‘t understand why we don‘t live in a big house with family. 9mo

Reggie @jewright have you ever read World War Z? It‘s probably the best zombie book you could ever read. But in the 3rd part where they‘re rebuilding the world. Everyone who has a house, gets families assigned to let them live with them. There is a single man who has, I think, 2 families put with him and he talks about he didn‘t know what he was missing. How lonely he was and how we have all this space and it‘s just empty. I think about that a lot. 9mo

ManyWordsLater @Reggie I LOVE THAT! ❤️💕❤️ 9mo

My high school history teacher talked about this briefly in a class 20 years ago. I‘m excited to learn more.

A fun, quirky little collection of stories. Amusing in a slightly off-kilter way that has a bit of a dark edge at times. An entertaining, quick read.

All of these stories were so delightfully twisted, it‘s hard to pick a favorite!

I was so excited to read this book because I enjoyed her other book, southern lady code. The first half of this book read similar to the southern lady code, but the second half was not as enjoyable for me. Short stories were introduced seemingly from her POV, but it made wasn‘t clear they weren‘t her stories. Murder stories, ghost stories, very judgmental stories played out from her POV. I was disappointed by this book.
