Accomplishmental Studies & Leadership Programs

Accomplishmental Studies
& Leadership Programs

I’ve generated 6-7 spams-per-week for years:
narcissistically ego-tripping solipsistic self-
proclaiming jeremiads wrighting, wrenching,
wrestling & wrangling local food-for-thought
presuming to engage, entertain, provoke, preach,
expostulate, prattle, regale, tweak, & spark an
intellective (an affective) fire if possible...it's
possible.

Trying to set a good bad example so that anyone
could improve my terms and images and then
we’d be in argumentative business--academic:
or what's a college for?.

Sure: un-refereed & perishable my publications:
throw-it-away good for a be-here-now-minute:
one side of possible conversation always looking
for connection, hook-up and the wonder of
sustainable argument across the curriculum.

Coming out parties. Good time had by all
Komos Oidos: the comic spirit—ludic &
ludicrous: the amateurs’ salute to our
stuffy professionalizms so as to keep
us in play.

Ok: I have not succeeded in this, damnit.
So I’ve not accomplished: if success is
what counts.

As opposed to what promotes Individual Genius,
Keith Sawyer’s study of Collaborative Genius
urges “players” to seek or build an environment
that rewards failure, one that recognizes the
liability of “clarity.” I might grant mysef
“accomplishment” kudos on both
those standards.

“Genius”:
Individual on the one hand.
Collaborative on the other hand.
Do you hear the sound of one or two hands
clapping?

Incommensurate: these two agendae, true? And
appropriately “hostile.” We might could turn up the
distinction, polarize and put in play—so as to see
how they relate, without the values of one
contaminating the other.

That would be an accomplishment.
Collegial. Across the Curriculum.
Students would beat a path to
our doors, I bet—once it got
out how we knew how to
be serious and foolish
too—professional
but yet: loving
IT, no doubt.

I overstate. I am large.
I contain legions.
