liberal art: fine art
opposed to & not
to be confused with
liberal arts.
Push IT.
Resist IT.
Break an
arm and a leg:
wrestle with gods
until wounds open
up, damnit: a blessing.
Kill the Buddha if you
meet him in the road
as good as any enemy.
Crucify the christs
crying out loud
for crying out
loud.
The
violent who bear
IT away. IT: the
kingdom within
not to be collapsed,
conflated & confused
with the kingdom
without.
I heard on 60 minutes last
night: a cell phone packs
more computing power than
one of the space modules
from the 60’s & 70’s.
The difference is visceral.
Can you feel it now? The GAP:
techno & cultural. School’s the
same as it always was yet
that abyss between computing
capacities yawns like chaos.
Mars Hill, I see, is offering
courses on line. “I’m saving
45 dollars a week in commuting
gas,” a student says, computing
at home. So many ways to
skin the categories & the
imperatives.
Pedagogy:
art or profession of teaching..
I have colleagues for whom
“pedagogy” is a degraded
subject distracting from the
disciplines: our hard and soft
sciences, our humanities &
fine arts.
Who wants to be a pedagogue?
Raise your hand.
It’s meta-disciplinary:
the P in our Phdegreed,
a sustainability issue:
environmental concern:
a school mode, not to
be collapsed, conflated
or confused with yr
church & state modes.
xxxooo, Sam
