This thoughtful essay ends with a codicil that I'm glad was at the end and not the beginning, otherwise I would not have finished it, and it was otherwise delightful: "... [the book] is far from perfect. Centered and based on the experience of a white male not only in war but also in life writ large, it could be said that his theories discounted and excluded many." This wasn't a tax-payer-funded, expensive clinical survey that excluded a demographic it shouldn't have. It was a solitary soldier daydreaming at a war front in WW1 Europe. The nature of the study itself and its creation necessitated that it be solitary and introspective, which by definition "excludes many" - everyone not the soldier, in fact. However, literally anyone in the world, without permission or funding, can document their daydreams using the method described in the book. I believe these oddly interjected, gratuitous observations will not age well and will be viewed by our future selves and descendents as symptoms of collective psychosis
