On the list of toxic stuff that's toxic: Holy pants, this stuff's insidious. Good in terms of tracking down some mindset source materials, but... yeah. Treated with the standard researcher's skim, because it pretty much hurt my brain to read straight, even selecting a portion and shooting for the segment.
Probably come back to it some once I've gotten some resistance, but the first dive was, "Set it on fire."
