I’m all about this subject matter, but this article is written in such a weird way, both on its style and structure.
A short and unfinished essay of about 5,000 words, written in 1876, shortly after the publication of Darwin’s The Descent of Man (1871), the title is a gendered mistranslation from the original German: “Anteil de Arbeit an der Menschwerdung des Affen”–“Menschwerdung” means “incarnation” or “becoming human,” not “man.”
Ok, yes, Man with a capital M back then was a stand in for human. That seems kind pedantic to point out when the article isn’t about that.
Today recognised as a foundational text, it builds on the recognition by earlier classical economists such as Adam Smith and David Ricardo, that alongside nature itself, human labour is the only source of value–an analysis that was developed by Marx in Capital.
Engels takes this further: much further.
Ok, I guess you’re going to tell me how Engels takes it further in the next paragraph…
Marx and Engels were enthusiastic about Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species published in 1859. Marx declared that “Darwin’s book is very important and serves me as a basis in natural science for the class struggle in history.’”
Wait. Marx declared? What about Engels?
Darwin’s essentially materialist explanation for the variety and complexity of life challenged religious dogma. His sequel in 1871, full title The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex applies evolutionary theory to humans. It was particularly inspirational to Engels.
Oh, Engels took it much further because he was inspired by Darwin in particular. Oh wait, I still don’t know what the hell they’re trying to say…
Isn’t a Mars bar just a cross between a Milky Way and a 3 Musketeers? It’s got both nougat and caramel. I’ve mixed the other two in a bite before, and I think it’s pretty spot on!
It’s not about doing it for “fun”, it’s trying to reframe things that people can have a lot of anxiety around because of their importance. When you’re very nervous, you lose your confidence, you might lose your train of thought, you might not get a good night’s rest leading up to it, your stomach could be in knots, etc. your performance suffers and you don’t seem well put together to others. If you can go into an interview with a mindset that it doesn’t matter, that weight is lifted off of you, it helps you keep your cool and you won’t self sabotage.
Doing the lord’s work!
What took so long? Were they stallin’?

It was so good before Match Group got their hands on it…
Didn’t the courts just say that Trump can’t put tariffs in place and had to refund companies for them? How the hell is he implementing new tariffs?

Same, I scrolled past and had to come back to upvote!

I’m with you, Dr Fetus!
He farted in her general direction and gave her conjunctivitis…
Are the red eyes just from smoking? I take edibles all the time, but my eyes are never red from it
Thanks for sharing this!
Yeah, Funny Games wasn’t for me, either.
