Impotence Studies and Leadership Programs (Gen-Ed)

Dear Colleagues on both sides of the desk,

Impotence Studies and Leadership Programs
 
What a joke my courses are. NOT SERIOUS,
              like them other guys
 
    .       Get it?   (Eureka)
        HA!....  Ahhh..... aHA
 
                 Trauma
 
Arthur Koestler claims that humor, art,and
science (invention, innovation) are 3 responses
to the SAME KIND OF DEAL.  A collision
between 2 or more matrices (he calls them):
cognitive values, frames of reference, cultural
habits, customs, beliefs and biases, prejudices
and convictions.
           
               Mytho Logic
 
Crash Bam, ouch, ooo shit, damnit:
Allen Anarchist and Sally Fascist,
Olivia Order and Randy Random,
Larry Liberal and Carla Conservative
collide at the Cross roads. Will this
bumper-car collision generate
 
humor ?
art (some new American Literature)?
scientific invention & innovation?
or  mere dismay?
 
    It always remains to be scene.
 
JOKE, ART, INVENTION. You are
responsible for you own punch lines.
You wouldn't want (or benefit from)
anyone else's, I bet.
 
             Need we argue?
 
Dialectic (Liberal  Art) doesn't begin  until
someone gets hurt. Not the sticks &stones hurt.
Insult. Cerebral & Affective Transgression.
Crossing lines. Boundary infraction. Homeland
Security violations. Ego Smackdown.  Directional
Navigational Algorithmic (DNA) incursions.
Ouch-damnit-no-you-dint invasions.
 
                     Joke
 
Thesis  it's impossible to institutionalize
             and practice dialectic, liberal art.,
 
Antithesis: knowing & acknowledging
               it's impossibility is prerequisite
                      to its possibility.
 
Punch line ________________ 
 
           ***
My classes are the most empowering & 
powerful classes of all, of any.  Need we argue?
 
POWER: from I.E posse : possibility, potential,
potentate.  Every day in my classes (I  claim, I
boast)  a whelm of  possibility &  potential, unscripted,
un-agenda-ed, unplanned: what? what the? what the hell?.
 
“The highest purpose is to have no purpose,”
says John Cage. “This puts one in accord
with nature in her manner of operation.”  
True? False? 

Need we argue?.
 
IMPOTENCE:  the opposite of power, the opposite of
possibility,  of potential.  Already pre-determined.
impotent.

Beg to differ.
