Show Notes
In this episode we are discussing Franz Kafka's The Trial; written in 1914 but not published until 1925. This is an incredible and seminal work in modern literature and should be read by everyone. In this episode we talk about:
- The style of a story that puts the audience in touch with the feelings of a character
- If you don't know what you have done wrong than everything comes to mind and it is paralyzing and demoralizing
- Bureaucracy as modern tyranny
- The importance of trust in society
- The bullet or the knife are never relative
- Jostling and career maneuvering as the primary reason for people in these industries, not the betterment of the people they are "helping"
- Irrelevancy is the bureaucrats kryptonite; and they will do anyting to avoid that
- Why even have options?
