Thousands of years ago, the work that people did had been broken down into jobs that were the same every day, in organizations where people were interchangeable parts. All of the story had been bled out of their lives. That was how it had to be; it was how you got a productive economy. But it would be easy to see a will at work behind this: not exactly an evil will, but a selfish will. The people who’d made the system thus were jealous, not of money and not of power but of story. If their employees came home at day’s end with interesting stories to tell, it meant something had gone wrong: a blackout, a strike, a spree killing. The Powers That Be would not suffer others to be in stories of their own unless they were fake stories that had been made up to motivate them. People who couldn’t live without story had been driven into the concents or into jobs like Yul’s. All others had to look somewhere outside of work for a feeling that they were part of a story, which I guessed was why Saeculars were so concerned with sports, and with religion.”<br/><br/> - <em>Anathem by Neal Stephenson</em>http://auralay.tumblr.com/post/287800157http://auralay.tumblr.com/post/287800157Thu, 17 Dec 2009 14:23:24 -0500<img src="http://14.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kur9v2rv071qz9azpo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>wahhhh. cold + wind = death.</p>http://auralay.tumblr.com/post/286299242http://auralay.tumblr.com/post/286299242Wed, 16 Dec 2009 12:28:14 -0500<p>The movie “Being John Malkovitch” really creeped me out.
