Unknowable

Number fourteen: Some of the things you need to know are things that are unknowable.

The mascot for the manosphere, Andrew Tate, believes that women belong at home, are a man’s property, and shouldn’t be able to drive. And an unknowable amount of young men are following this rhetoric through sites like Reddit, 4chan, and YouTube. But once they fall down the rabbit hole of the manosphere, is there any getting out?

That night I think of other unknowables. How much love does one need in a lifetime? Is there a quantity of brain space that is allocated to love? And for those of us who have loved less, does this space become occupied by something else? Like cricket, or religion, perhaps.
