I can't really do apocalyptic content rn, it's depressing me and stressing me out. given our world. so it's terrible that I'm in a literature class with a focus on plagues in stories 😭😭 everyone pray the bird flu doesn't evolve past what it's at right now like I'll flip out.

anyway. very interesting book, especially with its very prominent idea of the loss of knowledge and a total lack of education. for uhhh no reason in particular it feels especially relevant. we need to keep getting smart people!! say no to ignorance!! I think it's sooo interesting how his grandsons tease him for using words they don't know or for mentioning an idea they have no concept of. they think he's the dumb one even tho they're literally stupid. who does that remind me of . . .
