Whatta Buncha Pliers We All Are

Cybernetic Humanism
 
How Does a Species Self-Correct
    Without Demoralization?
 
          
 
“What a bunch of pliers they all are,”
says Epimenides, the Cretan,
castigating his fellow
islanders.
 
“All Cretans are pliers, damnit,”
he famously fulminated,
pontificating.
 
Pots & Kettles Getting-IT-on over the
“black” issue. “Yr black, damnit!”. “No,
you are!”  etc. & so it goes. More savvy
than that, sure: humanistic hyped-up
global positioning & far away reasons-
why explaining & blaming oil spills &
middle east crises, unemployment & world
hunger so it’ll never happen again. Ever
 
More Lite! More Lite!
Goethe: on his death bed.

The Scholars! The Scholars!
Kurtz: calling for Conventions.
