Re: Facebook / MZ, "trust," and "mythic forces"

Thanks Geoffrey, indeed, illuminating! Yet I also try to get the other part of it, i.e. the "trust"/belief aspect that the "Dumb fucks" description cannot grasp at all. I think I understand who MZ is, no doubt, and that Libra is an antiphrasis. I also know that MZ doesn't know where his power come

Re: Facebook
