  10. "They twist forwards and backwards on their firmly fastened little legs, bend at the knees and strain upward, like laborers doing their utmost to move a much too heavy load."

    Robert Musil imagines the hopeless struggle of flies against flypaper, and it's *terrifying*:

    ❝And if he is told that something is the way it is, then he thinks: Well, it could probably just as easily be some other way. So the sense of possibility might be defined outright as the capacity to think how everything could “just as easily” be, and to attach no more importance to what is than to what is not.❞

  31. I was doing a #Musil #ManWithoutQualities 🧵 every few Chapters on the MuskRat site ( not its most popular 🧵at that), and I'll continue with it here, once in a while...

  32. Vor hundert Jahren, 1922, publizierte Robert Musil eine bemerkenswerte Reflexion: «Das hilflose Europa oder vom Hundertsten ins Tausendste». doi.org/10.11588/diglit.45237. #musil

  33. #morality and #ethics distinction #musil style?

    “In accord with its prescriptive nature, morality is tied to experiences that can be replicated, [...] whereas the
    truly ethical experience, such as love, introspection or humility, is, even where it is
    of a social nature, something difficult to transmit, something quite personal and
    almost antisocial”
