Can I go to work without pants on?
Think of the freedom, think of the flexibility, think of the cool air gently tickling my leg hair.
Why am I the only one this passionate about my own comfort?

I need a rich benefactor/sugar-mama who buys me beer and books to ‘fund my lifestyle’.
The word globalization has been passed around a lot recently. Can you talk about the difference between imperial vs. genuine globalization?
I always use the example of NAFTA. Since the US and Mexico signed NAFTA, the size of the American border guard has more than tripled. They put up walls and call it globalization. We have to bear in mind that just a few hundred years ago, international borders didn’t exist at all. And even in the 1890s, things like passports were considered antiquated barbarisms. In a lot of ways we’ve moved backwards. Real globalization for me would mean a genuine effacement of borders, moving towards some notion of global citizenship - not in the sense of subordination to a single global state, that would be a disaster, but rather, in the sense of recognizing that everyone on this planet is ultimately part of the same community and beginning to think about what we all owe to one another as a result, of creating forms of movement and solidarity that ignore the apparatuses of nation-states entirely.
Every one in a while I’ll feel slightly self conscious about my appearance, but most of the time I don’t really give it any thought at all.
But then sometimes (like this morning) I’ll be shaving or some shit before work I’ll look in the mirror and I can’t help but just announce in my head ‘WELL HEY THERE, SEXY”.
