Intellectual history, here decontextualized. Especially modern France, history of political thought, and socialism. And Kansas, because that's where I live "als Gelehrter, der durch Schriften zum eigentlichen Publikum, nämlich der Welt, spricht."
But with more success maybe than they had!

Earlier this semester I went to a local outdoor concert here in Kansas, and that for sure did not happen.

Trite to say, but the book is better -- just more interesting things happening -- although I agree about the animation.

I've seen this circulate before because it's a great story. This is clipped from pages 33-34 of Mamdani's *Slow Poison.*

Interesting complement might be Bogdanov's *Red Star* from 1908 -- Bolshevik science fiction, but from before the revolution.

The European Reading Room, Library of Congress, is another one I’ve been in before. It can take your breath away, the beauty of the democratic ideal of general public education
