what I've been up to lately

[bourgeois_scum]

"It is a grave error to accuse a man who pursues self-knowledge of 'turning his back on society.' The opposite would be more nearly true: that a man who fails to pursue self-knowledge is and remains a danger to society, for he will tend to misunderstand everything that other people say or do, and remain blissfully unaware of the significance of many of the things he does himself."

- E.F. Schumacher, A Guide for the Perplexed, 1977

Also, as an aside, I am pretty sure the book Voluntary Simplicity is changing my life.
