{∅, {∅}, {∅, {∅}}} : Rage Against the Meat Grinder

Little Tree looks rather interesting to me. I checked out Savage God, the first chapter where the author talks about his friend Sylvia Plath. I remember reading a newspaper article about her just before an exam in 2006-I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead(I think I made you up inside my head).

Well, to pick up the threads of the response as regards Roy-wherever I go, it could be the market place or the bus-stop there is a literal sea of men and women and kids here.It is a disaster. Schopenhauer was about 22 years younger than Malthus and I feel quite certain he that must have read at least something by him.

Do the proletariat here know about her? I would say no. But I guess many in even the lower middle-class know something about her.Most just viscerally hate her.

But to understand why they do so one needs to understand the background.In the Begal famine of the early 1940s millions of people starved to death:

Even in the late 2000s the country was worse off  in companion with the sub-Saharan Africa:

Till about 1986 per capita Indian GDP was higher than China’s. But things have changed drastically since then.
So, a lot of people here have begun to  imagine that the economy needs to be more like that of the Western world and have started to embrace the Anglo-Saxon model of capitalism.They see South Korea and they see Taiwan and they notice the difference in economic well-being.

The Soviet-lite model produced very slow growth.

 I read the article, the link to which you left behind which says how bosses want that the employees should be on call 24/7 and they should not have any personal boundaries.They do not like the employees who are not very enthusiastic about their jobs,even if those employees are productive and efficient.

That is all quite true here. I have read articles about software engineers who flung themselves out of the windows of high-rise buildings due to work related stress and the employers pass off their deaths as something caused by their( the suicide's ) failure in love affair.
Maybe like the Little Tree ,who does not like being in school, I do not like being in such a cruel world.I am quite sure Nietzsche must have thought about doing away with himself more than once.

You may not be among the economic 1%,but I am quite sure you are in the intellectual 1%.
I read about the Little Tree a bit today and liked it a great deal.

Roy ,in one of her interviews,says that we should fight the government and side with far-left and if they betray us then we would fight them too.

Well, I am sorry, but I cannot buy such rhetoric,I might have a few years back,but now,Schopenhauer’s ideas have percolated too deeply. She asks good questions but her solutions do not satisfy me or maybe I am just a man of an ascetic bent of mind.Trouble is I see no solutions. No political solutions at any rate.

Plath killed herself. But before she did that she had two kids. Her first serious attempt was when she was around 20, then, she had two kids and then killed herself at 30.

Van Gogh when he was around 37,only he had no kids. The gorts who killed him ,now own his paintings.
Once the pearl has been created, the lowly mollusk who made it with his blood,sweat and tears,is chucked into the dustbin and the pearl carried away for decorating some princess’ crown.
