Currently I'm reading Nina Burton's 'Livets tunna väggar' which translate to something like Walls of Life. It's a book by a Swedish writer who inherits her mother's summer house. When she wants to renovate it, she finds all sort of life around and in the house. She uses said life to teach you something about the intellect of various insects and animals, which goes deeper than humans normally think.

It's a very interesting book that makes me think about non-human life even more. Creatures that are thousands of times smaller than we are have such complex societal structures. Humans have overcommodified animal life for centuries now, seeing them as property and commodities instead of complex and intelligent life forms.

I know, it’s important, it’s just boring, and more for advanced and organizing people. Without reading I already understand the distinction between tailing the masses and being a vanguard. It’s an important idea, it’s just a lot of reading for a simple conclusion dressed in time specific evidence.

Edit: by overrated I mean by larpers.
