I've re-read this five or six times now; I can't quite figure out why it's so compelling; I have theses, but the piece exceeds them. I suppose what I'm fumbling with in part is: it's obviously broadly resonant —many of us are responding to it— but it's composed of elements, concepts, relations, and images that seem novel / unique, highly idiosyncratic, etc.. It's extremely strange and via its strangeness achieves some kind of recognizability / familiarity... but what am I recognizing?! What is familiar here? I know this is all "normal" for great writing, but it's just so stark here! WHATEVER, it's truly awesome.
