Weird how invested people get once they've "reached a higher plane" and experienced ego death, now they go around preaching to everyone how they need to experience ego death and "get on their level" and act with a smug sense of superiority and condescension towards anyone who isn't "open minded enough to see past their ego" and shit.
Maybe they did experience ego death, briefly, but they always seem to invest huge amounts of ego into this experience after the fact.
I spotted that you're reading Fanon. I've actually been meaning to re-read The Wretched of The Earth but it's hard to scrape together the brainpower to focus on reading at the moment and when I have had the wherewithal I've mostly been doing deep dives into the Spanish Civil War but I really should give TWotE another crack.

Awesome, thanks!
That's wild! There's a documentary filled with interviews from people who lived in the Spanish Republic - I wonder if your friend's grandpa knew anyone who featured in it?
