…exploring how dirt and impurity concepts relate to how we define evil
“There's a book by Mary Douglas called Purity and Danger. And for me, it was a bit of a revelation because she basically said, look, when you look out at the world, you classify everything that you see at the borders of your system of classification, at the borders of your language, at the borders of the way you look at the world, there's going to be sort of blurry areas.”
