Everything Is Tuberculosis

Everything Is Tuberculosis

Note

it is strange to learn about things common in the world but not common to you. it also also strange for this strangeness to be a common occurrence.

this book has some helpful history to place into context where this strangeness is derived from.

the most direct call to solve human problems not prioritized by the markets but prioritized by shared societal concerns feels both bold but also missing a path forward.

easily said and much harder to do. strangely.
