“The libertine, the romantic, and the rocker are three models of the same humanity, one that demands more than lighting, heating, electrical appliances, and the other material benefits brought home by electricity. This kind of humanity lets electricity- course through and exalt the whole of its being. The impact of this project on the youth of the twentieth century was extensive. This democratisation had real effects and, for the majority of people, intensity now had to do with the normal way of arranging one’s life, not a moral ideal fit only for certain exceptional people. No longer rooted in a singular morality, intensity started to be understood in a much more general, ethical sense.” Tristan Garcia
