Quote from the article in question: Disordered borders create psychological instability. I recall a member of my own family describing how boats would wash up on the stony shores of the beach we played on as children on the South Coast of England, mostly full of men, who would quietly disembark on the pebbles and walk off into the country. The destabilizing impact of loose borders has an outsize political impact.

A screen grab quote from Schelling’s first outline for a philosophy of nature. Reads: Individual products are brought into Nature; but in these products pro-ductivity, as productivity, is still held to be always distinguishable. Productivity has not yet absolutely passed over into product. The subsistence of the product is supposed to be a continual self-reproduction. The problem arises, by what is this absolute transition-exhaustion of the productivity in the product— prevented? Or by what means does its subsistence become a continual self-reproduction?
A black and white photo of philosopher michel Foucault. The one where he’s biting his finger and staring straight into the camera.
The dance group "Hot Butter" in a black and white 1972 TV broadcast, dancing to Gershon Kingsley's indefatigable hit "Popcorn". The cuts on the video are frenetic, and the dance is sublimely underwhelming, possibly the most low effort dance one could imagine, and the frenetic cuts are trying to make up for it. Yet, still, through the cracks, one glimpses a potential world that could have been that never was.
A film still from the 1995 film adaptation of Stephen kings “the langoliers”, showing two langoliers? What’s a langolier you may ask. It’s kind of like a muppet.

B&w drawing of some ancient Roman chiselling on a stone
