ln the three centuries it's taken these people
to emerge from the ghettos of Europe,...

:26:31
..they've ripped us out of a world of order
and reason, thrown us into class warfare,...

:26:36
..irrational urges, relativity,...
:26:38
..into a world where the very existence
of matter and meaning is in question!

:27:51
Who am l fucking with here?
:27:53
