“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Mr Benn, Latourian Revolutionary

Watching Mr Benn (Zookeeper) in the hotel, enjoying this extraordinary mash of Magritte and Henri Rousseau (David McKee) and the excellent music (written by the dad of a friend of a friend at school).

If I had taken bad acid or was otherwise indisposed, eg dead and wandering in the bardo, I'd be happy to call on Mr Benn for aid. Know what I mean? Sorry if you don't my fellow Americans.

This dude creates Latourian affiliations between people and animals! And that's just one episode!

And some object always finds its way into his pocket, reminding him of the alternative reality he's visited. Via a costume shop! I'm now sure he gets there by OOO allure.

When at my machine instead of on this iPhone I shall post a video for poor deprived US people.
