Other things I loved:

- The discussion between the old woman and the young man on the park bench. This is great! So much vitality! You render their personalities and their archetypes stunningly! I quite like your character studies.

- The overwhelming sense that the piece itself is a printed reef and that this is part of the design of the structure when looked at from afar.

Things that I struggled with (not inherently bad things)

- The jump in an out of the discussion of a general strike in America. Do you support a general strike? To what end? By the end I have a sense you support a general strike to prevent wealth consolidation—but this comes out of left field and I don’t have a sense of how/why this could work

- How does the printed reef of Philly provide a model for what America should be? (This seems to be one of your main discoveries.)
