'Youth is the beauty that sleeps and has no inkling of the prince struggling to liberate her, and that youth should awaken, should take part in the struggle being waged for its soul'

24:16 - maybe the people of today are in such a position as Benjamin's and Arendt's generation. I certainly feel like we're on the moon. My friends and family and myself are regularly stunned at the change around us. But at the same time everything is qualitatively so similar. Idk maybe the internet is the moon.
