Dear Colleagues,
Other than concerns with “house keeping” (ecologic),
what hot-button gotcha issues might hook us into
converse action, decent contra-diction and contra
versions across the curriculum?
Since prior to 9/11, after Columbine, “American Beauty”
& Livin’ La Vida Loca , I’ve been trying to push buttons
of that sort, but can’t find them…
what?
o no you dint!
that’s an overstatement!
that’s a reduction!
It’s all relative…
It’s all related...
faux dichotomy!
faulty assumption
mixing yr meta force
just the facts, mam,
give me the facts
…convinced such emerging sustainable cerebral skirmishes
would enrich our academic wellness, standing and reputation
(Why should the New School’s College for Liberal Arts:
Eugene Lang get all the credit for best-in-argument & critical thinking?)
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and
expecting different results.” "We can't solve problems by
using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
(Einstein. Easy for him to say, a critical thinker)
Who do I think I am anyway? Certifiable. On a mission from
god. Expecting different results . My service project: raise the
dead & deadening. Heave-Ho: the cistern flying over the
cuckoo’s nest.
Waiting for Gödel
How indeed could one think of expressing meta-mathematics in
the mathematical systems themselves, if the latter are considered
to consist of meaningless symbols which acquire some substitute
of meaning only through meta-mathematics? (KG)
- If the system is consistent, it cannot be complete.
- The consistency of the axioms cannot be proven within the system.

Before any issues of style, content or form can be addressed,
the fundamental questions are: How long can you stay in that
room? How many hours a day? How do you behave in that
room? How often can you get back to it? How much fear
(and, for that matter, how much elation) can you endure by
yourself? How many years - how many YEARS - can you
remain alone in a room?
The only thing you know you'll have twenty years down the line
is the experience of the room - how you behaved, what you felt,
what you thought, what you dared, what you fled, how you lived
life, how life lived you, alone, in that room…( Michael Ventura,
“The Talent of the Room”--advice to writers)
