I wrote this before Luigi Mangione shot the CEO of United Healthcare. Such an act, totally unpredictable but ripping open the seams of this world to instantiate possibility in the present, is a beautiful act—not historical, since it breaks with this world and cannot be contained by time.
Why do we tell ourselves history? Why this pious agreement that being informed about history, along with politics, makes us somehow better, smarter, aware?
