It's great, but hard to capture in a few sentences to sell as a pitch idea. At first, you think she's praising "homo faber" (craftsman, performing "work", i.e. making permanent things) over "animal laborans" (proles, performing "labour", i.e. cheeseburgers for momentary consumption), but then in the next chapter she demonstrates that "homo faber" is full of shit, too ("what's the use of use?"), and that you should praise the Greeks, because they didn't allow potters and sculpturers to vote.

Is this a kind of Nietzschean approach?

>>20616188
Kinda sorta, but she thinks Nietzsche is overly individualistic, while the point of the Greek polis was to get your βίος (political life, as opposed to ζωή, animal life) to emerge through the inter-communication with others (of equal status, exempt from labour, and perceiving themselves as an endgoal instead of committing themselves to the product of their activities).

But nowadays, instead, we are levelled to the lowest common denominator (everyone is a labourer), and thus we suffer the tyranny of everyone being equally low slaves.

It might be hard to capture in a few sentences to sell as a pitch idea but you did a good job nonetheless.

I've had enough of these tribal intellectuals, straight into the gas they go.

>>20615853
Yes. Unlike you fags she actually started with the Greeks.

>>20615853
It is a brilliant book. The people saying otherwise either haven't read it, or have read it without understanding it.
