About Aly Salem
Humans have been on this Earth for at least a quarter million years. It is hubris to think that anything we experience today - the trials and tribulations of modern life - is new. As Prior in Angels in America (Tony Kushner’s magnum opus) once said: “It’s something you learn after your second theme party: It’s all been done before. ”
From the Peloponnesian War to the Peasants' Revolt, we'll prove that there's nothing new under the sun – except, perhaps, for OnlyFans. Our forebears grappled with the same existential quandaries that plague us today – just with fewer emojis and more dysentery.
Think of this as dialectical materialism for a generation that’s replaced class solidarity with 'moving with intention' and historical understanding with astrology apps.
