Our lives are spent trying to pixellate a fractal planet.
“It’s about the loss of a countervailing power robust enough to stand up to the influence of business interests and the rich on equal terms. With that gone, the response to every new crisis and every new change in the economic landscape has inevitably pointed in the same direction. And after three decades, the cumulative effect of all those individual responses is an economy focused almost exclusively on the demands of business and finance. In theory, that’s supposed to produce rapid economic growth that serves us all, and 30 years of free-market evangelism have convinced nearly everyone—even middle-class voters who keep getting the short end of the economic stick—that the policy preferences of the business community are good for everyone. But in practice, the benefits have gone almost entirely to the very wealthy.”

I ask him where the unusual name came from. “I was going through the dictionary app on my phone and came across the word randomly. It jumped out at me. I didn’t know the word before but it seemed so beautiful to me.”
“In Japanese, if you translate our word for that part of the body back into English it comes out as something like ‘throat penis’, something really ugly. So I like the contrast of this beautiful word in English with the weird, ugly word in Japanese.”
