Anyone read “disgust literature”
As someone who has meta ocd and a rather “morbid curiosity” this has fascinated my mind.”

Thoughts on This Book (And James C Scott Generally)
This book in 2024 was one of the only books I was “allowed” to read, most other things had been restricted
Themes of visual disarray, the kultura and its notions of cleanliness, politeness, and punctuality
In sections about Tanzania there was references to arithmetic “quantitative precision” in Opposition to Métis
Other references to Le Courbissier and visual order in avarice to the rodent infested slums
When talking about the authoritarian high modernism of the planners in brasilia terms such as darkness, crowded, disease ridden, crime and pollution
Rather than take passages literally they are allegories for larger
Mindsets that the state has about the “unwashed masses”
Thoughts ?
