• For exactly the same reason, it is sometimes satisfying to cut yourself and bleed. On those gray [sic] days where eight in the morning looks no different from noon and nothing has happened and nothing is going to happen and you are washing a glass in the sink and it breaks - accidentally - and punctures your skin.

If these uniformities did not exist, then there would be neither social science nor political economy, and even the study of history would largely be useless.
