Negative infinity

“The ordinary man believes he is free when he is permitted to act arbitrarily, but in this very arbitrariness lies the fact that he is unfree,” Hegel wrote. “Negative infinity” was his term for how the man without a well-anchored sense of self would perceive the marketplace. "Can you have too many choices" from The New Yorker.

There was a good vibe at the conference that made me feel productive in a way I haven’t felt in months when at my computer. I don’t know how long it’ll last, but thanks anyway for the compliments.
