To treat an object primarily as part of a network is to assume it can be reduced to that set of qualities and relations that it manifests in this particular network.

What really lies beneath our feet at each moment is not a usefulness, but an inaccessible netherworld that we can use because it is there. It is the Empire of the Capital X.

We need spies that look like their targets, CIA officers who speak the dialects terrorists use, and FBI agents who can speak to Muslim women who might be intimidated by men.

It was a significant reduction.

If i bought something that didn't warrant more than three wearings, I did not need it.

I approach this project in the spirit of a fast: an intentional reduction, a deliberate abstinence to summon God's movement in my life. A fast creates margin for God to move.
