Two things I didn’t know about Sartre:
- He was born on the exact same day as my grandfather.
- He used amphetamines to improve his writing. The manuscripts of these writings hardly contain any corrections or alterations. This hardly surprises me.

And the theory is so complex, and probably much better understood with a heightened sense of perception.
I have to start taking speed. It’s a well-known cure for depressia.
