Waiting for Goedel Seminar (Warren Wilson FB Dialectic)


  Waiting for Goedel Seminar

Clark Lowell Chapin: we share about
93  Face Book Friends—almost entirely 
Warren Wilson grads or fellow travelers

You mention doing something
substantial (beyond voting) that
might stem the seeming cross
country tide toward what you
call a  kleptomanic political
frame of mind in which the
modus operandi is one in which
a cabal of elite associates of the
politically powerful are given
the ability along with the political
powerful to utilize the resources
of the state primarily for personal
 profit”

I would say our 93 might could be
described as an elite on line seminar
of associates sufficient to generate
maybe some shining edification  
subjecting ourselves to mind
games & cerebral hackysacking
--a noetic Gold’s gymnastic Alice
in Wonderland Upside Down
Flamingo & Hedgehog croquet.
carnival and who can say what
kind of emergent phenomena and
values would be generated?   .

Preludic to whatever political
team one liked to cheerlead
or play for: this might be mere
bumper cars of the mind:  liberal
art for the love of it and not to
Do Good or save the whirl as
kleptomanic as it always will be.  

Don’t you think we might get
better at “critical thinking.”?
A good time had by all?  Doesn’t
preclude voter registration or
ideological dumpster diving. .

Substantive?  Beyond Just Vote?

xxxooo, Sam
