WE ARE JUST GENE EXPRESSION…

“A Complete Body of Practical Divinity” (1723) by Thomas Doolittle

Reading this anal retentive attempt to treat biblical verse as a form of hyper organized programming – a committed obsession with order – I realize that I am just another instance of his genetic object. I can actually feel his mind at work, and understand it as if it’s my own.

These ancestors were ‘autistic’ even then, but expressed it differently: as unrelenting adherence to protestantism.

Educated at Cambridge, he led an uncompromising life that is so familiar that.. well, it’s an uncomfortable mirror to gaze back into.

I repeat his process in the current era. I am just a gene expression.

How humbling.
