Welcome back to Circa 1945: Breaking the Machine.

Last time, I told you about my two cats, and what their little turf wars can teach us about Lebensraum, ghettos, and the way scarcity fuels conflict.

Today, I want to tell you another story — a quieter one. It’s about two women, two pregnancies, and one name. And it shows us something fundamental about human beings: that under similar conditions, we often arrive at the same ideas, the same impulses, and sometimes, the same mistakes.
