Join me as we sink deeper into the Expanding Erewhonian Nightmare and tie it all back to my failed book project about America’s largest nuclear meltdown at the Boeing-owned Santa Susana Field Laboratory.

Here the horseshit really hits the fan…
Erewhon is an absolutely insane name for a health food store headquartered in Southern California.
Southern California was literally settled by the sick and suicidal.
In fact, more people once killed themselves in Southern California than any other location on earth outside of war time.
Hence, if the logic of the fictional dystopian novel Erewhon were applied to early Southern California, you’d have to nuke everything from Montecito down to Tijuana to keep the place clean. As I pointed out in my last rant, the super-hip, psycho expensive, celebrity sprinkled LA-based wellness mecca is literally named after a fictional totalitarian Hell where the helpless and sick are purged from the earth in service of collective perfection.
