You can’t find intimacy—you can’t find home—when you’re always hiding behind masks. Intimacy requires a certain level of vulnerability. It requires a certain level of you exposing your fragmented, contradictory self to someone else. You’re running the risk of having your core self rejected and hurt and misunderstood.

pondering the infinite on madmen

Lloyd Hawley, IBM Installation Supervisor: these machines can be a metaphor for whatever is on people’s minds.

Don Draper: Because they’re afraid of computers?

LH: Ys. This machine is frightening to people, but it’s made by people.

DD: And people aren’t frightening?

LH: It’s not that. It’s more of a cosmic disturbance. This machine is intimidating because it contains infinite amounts of information and that’s threatening because human existence is finite.

But isn’t it godlike that we’ve mastered the infinite?

The IBM 360 can count more stars in a day than we can count in a lifetime.

DD: But what man laid on his back counting stars and thought about a number?

LH: He probably thought about going to the moon.
