This is a sublemmy about your notes on what you're reading.

Just to make sure, everyone enjoys it, here's a few rules:

  1. Be excellent to each other! If at any time you find you canโ€™t be excellent to your fellow beings, refrain from using the internet until you can.
  2. Ideally, a post should include a quote (or screenshot) of the passage you're referring to.
  3. Your note should go a little further than "this is a cool passage".

@marginalia [From Theodor Adorno, ๐˜”๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ข ๐˜”๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ข]

I think it should be noted that Adorno is famous in Frankfurt for the Adorno-Ampel, a traffic light he lobbied heavily for to be installed right in front of the university building he taught at, because "Should a student, or a professor, find himself in the state that is actually appropriate for him, namely in thought, then there is an immediate threat of death."

Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we got...
