Just got an email reminding me of the Obama election movie on HBO tonight. I’ll probably watch it at some point, but I still find movies like this kind of creepy. Whatever, though. I’m weird.

We Are All Levi-Strauss Now
From the NYT obituary for Claude Lévi-Strauss: The accepted view held that primitive societies were intellectually unimaginative and temperamentally irrational, basing their approaches to life and religion on the satisfaction of urgent needs for food, clothing and shelter.
