“It happened, therefore it can happen again” a message from Primo Levi:

a passage from Levi’s The Drowned & The Saved that reads: “For us to speak with the young becomes ever more difficult. We see it as a duty and, at the same time, as a risk: the risk of appearing anachronistic, of not being listened to. We must be listened to: above and beyond our person experiences, we have collectively witnessed a fundamental, unexpected event, fundamental precisely because unexpected, not foreseen by anyone. It took place in the teeth of all forecasts; it happened in Europe; incredibly, it happened that an entire civilized people, just issued from the fervid cultural flowering of Weimar, followed a buffoon whose figure today inspires laughter, and yet Adolf Hitler was obeyed and his praises were sung right up to the catastrophe. It happened, therefore it can happen again: this is the core of what we have to say."

When I finally started reading one of his books some years ago, I thought (about a fifth of the way through), “This is IT? THIS is all you have to offer?” blech. Wasn’t willing to continue.

17yo: It looks like all iguana species are invasive to Florida. Me: Well, they’re there now, so… 17yo: And you know the best thing to do with an invasive animal is to remove it from the environment, whether by taking it home- Me: We’re not going to take iguanas home, honey. 17yo: Oh. (disappointed)
