Frightening and deeply meaningful. Brecht poem changing a wheel. Why am I anxious…etc. with the invention of conveyor belts and mass production an artificial hand in infinite perspective and the wheel that’s constantly there.  Remembering Fords questionable politics. All of this has a sinister edge that is unnerving. These things brought civilization but brought all these other things that remain hidden in the background. Embedded in our culture in the joy of our culture are the ghosts of bloody hands.
