“I do not see class as a 'structure', nor even as a 'category', but as something which in fact happens (and can be shown to have happened) in human relationships... the notion of class entails the notion of historical relationship. ...And class happens when some men, as a result of common experiences (inherited or shared), feel and articulate the identity of their interests as between themselves, and as against other men whose interests are different from (and usually opposed to) theirs” MenFeelsHumansDifferentFactsHappensInterestResultsCommonClassHappenedIdentityStructureHistoricalNotionCategoriesHuman RelationsHuman RelationshipsCommon Experience Book:THE MAKING OF THE ENGLISH WORKING CLASS Source: THE MAKING OF THE ENGLISH WORKING CLASS

“We are, in fact, hyper-dimentional objects of some sort which cast a shadow into matter, and the shadow in matter is the body. And at death, what happens basically, is that the shadow withdraws, or the thing which cast the shadow withdraws, and metabolism ceases, and matter which had been organized into a dissipative structure in a very localized area, sustaining itself against entropy by cycling material in and degrading it and expelling it, that whole phenomenon ceases, but the thing which ordered it is not affected by that.” MatterWholeFactsBodyHappensObjectsMaterialsShadowAreasStructureCastsCeaseOrganizedAffectedPhenomenonCyclingSustainingHyperDegradingEntropyMetabolism Author:Terence McKenna
