    “…and Hunter S. Thompson re-typed The Great Gatsby just to get the feel of writing a great novel.”

    I just had this great conversation with Kelsey about feeling like everything I do and every opinion I hold is just part of some broader social trend, and this video makes me feel a little better about things. If the great innovators of history were simply the next inevitable link in the chain, then I guess I shouldn’t feel too bad about determinism in my own life.
