I don't believe that AtD invites us to make any judgements.  AtD does 
accurately portray the convergences of the time: Capitalism and 
Dynamite, labor struggles and terror (State,  Owner and 
Labor-sponsored), the Rebellion, Trusts, and so on.  The various 
dualities are pervasive as are orthogonal axes, Michelson and Morley, 
Michelson-Morley and Blinky, Blinky himself, etc. The Twin Vibes -- " 
. . . our damages to body and spirit being the debit side of all 
their good fortune, you could say."
