Ludic (ludicrous) on the one hand

Dear Colleagues ATC,

My boss. Ruben Holden. years ago when
I was urging faculty to stop taking IT so
seriously said he doesn’t take himself
seriously but The Work he takes seriously.
 
Seriously.
 
And I can see that.
 
That point of view’s respectable and
mature and makes more common sense
than my constant efforts to put IT in play
 
(IT, I said).
 
“I’m realistic enough to want to teach in
an accredited college," a colleague told me.

Me, casting asparagus on the heavy hands of
gubamental bureaucratic regulatory quality-
control raging against the machine like some 
knee-jerk T party-er libertarian witch-craft
dabbler as if I were all give me liberty &
 give me depth: I don’t want yr stinking
improve-mentality-or-else. .   
  .
And I have to reference Niels Bohr on a regular
basis: the opposite  of a profound truth is another
profound  truth and all I’m doing it setting up the
worthy opposition
 
        Be Serious on the one hand
                You Got to Be Kidding on the other
 
So we might could see emergent values and
phenomena rising up by virtue of our sustaining
sustainable converse-action across the curriculum.
and not just the sound of one hand clapping.
 
How else?  
 
Take yourself seriously, but OMG don’t be taking
the work seriously (LOL ). And the opposite is
also always true, knowing when to holdem and
when to foldem. Liberal Art.  
                    
                      Reciprocity
   
                I’m evaluating YOU
             NO: I’m evaluating You.
              (Mutual  Exacerbation)
 
Of course don't take me seriously, I'm just
playing with it.  xxxooo,  Sam
