That’s what we should aim for, and that’s what I believe we can achieve.
No one in my family has been observant for generations, but we all identify with being Jewish.
My work is as an ethnographic rescuer: a conduit between past and future generations. The urgency of this effort cannot be overstated.

Food became for me a way of becoming self-sufficient with my hands, to regain manual literacy, which I think has been lost on our generation and certainly younger generations. Very few people can actually make things with their hands and do things with their hands.
People repeat behaviour that leads to flooding their brains with pleasurable chemicals. The short-term reward loop acts over hours to years, and the long-term reproductive success loop over generations.

Even diseases recognized in the same historical period have been given names based on characteristics that have no relation to one another, and thus no common criteria.
The Macorinos and me – there’s a big space between our generations. The people I was used to work with, we will do everything faster. And the Macorinos were more, like, calm. They were patient with music, and they were paying a lot of attention to the details.
War destroys people’s souls. Most people focus on physical injuries, but the invisible injuries can take a lifetime to heal and affects the lives of generations to come.
I believe that every single one of us, celebrity or not, has a responsibility to get involved in trying to make a difference in the world.
