Dear
linguists, fictionists,
transcendental romantics
and colleagues
without borders across the curriculum.
Never on
Fridays Lecture: (our
virtual classroom)
“Are you there when I nail my lord to the cross?”
Hammer and Nails. Hammer & Nails: all over this
land.
Don’t want it wiggling while I do my bidness..
A new KIND of
thinking—says Einstein.
The kind that
got us into our pickle
can’t be the
kind that
gets us out.
Ok: so who
can describe
the old way, then?
The kind of thinking we’re used/abused
to?
Can we
consider NEW if the OLD
isn’t clear.
WHOLISTIC if
not Holy. My
niche: jump to claim
& embrace
what my worthy
peers, colleagues,
FB friends,
& enemies
castigate. Ah c’est moi:
you nail me, am
what I am:
you got me – what
ever it is you
hate,
critique, criticize, slam, bam
no thank you
mam: I am.
Dumpster diving.
Don’t want it?
Mine! Resource renewable
and
plenty more
where that comes
from. Free Lunch.
Beyond
Beyond Good
& Evil,
Approval/Disapproval, Like & Dislike,
Right & Wrong, Correct & Not-correct, suspension of
Judgment,
willful suspension of Belief and Disbelief and the Purpose,
Aims, and
Goals, Conventions,
Customs, Cultures and
Conveniences
all of which generate
these crucial Value
Distinctions....Call
it
School Mode—not to be confused with
Church and
State modes. .
Ivory Tower call it. Or call it
“describe mode” : aesthetic (as opposed to ethic).
New? Old? Beyond New & Old?
Don’t take my
words for
it, in fact I wish we could put it in play
and argue and
argue because
how else do ideas get embodied
and memes
manifest without
going thru hello and
hell and high
water so as to be tested if not
proven, bought into
or rejected as
appropriate,
re-invented
and incorporated as opposed to simply
take this
down it’ll be on
the final exam take the credit and
run you know
what I’m
saying.
My classes
are both the
most profound as well as the most
powerful in the college. Etymologically, at lesst—if
not
in the common
sense.
I just came
from a class
were no words were
spoken out loud.
I would say
silent, but of
course noise galore—always noise
going on
never not, and
information theorists
assert that news
is always
mothered by
noise: noise the mother of news.
As
fundamental and as
powerful as you can get:
when the
protocol and
procedure and
conventional filters and agenda
have been
suspended if not
eliminated, what remains is chaos:
emptiness,
literally YAWN waiting
(as it were) for the WORD
(always in
the beginnings.)
That’s power. POSSE – literally
potential, potency, like
a
reservoir:
potent and
unreleased, uncommitted. Can’t get
no more power full than
possibility, potency.
(Once
tapped—water
spilling down the valley taking out
farmhouses,
chicken coops,
old Ford trucks: that’s
kinetic
but impotence
as far as
potential is concerned. )
Profound:
from I.E. bhudh –
bottom, butt. base foundational,
fundamental
(L. fundus
–fundament : anus--dirty work,
mess and muddle
absolutely crucial to the system.
No cover up.
No denial.
Profound and
powerful Not for
everybody. But you might
not be for
everybody
too. I’m not. No doubt
Need we
argue (or what’s a
college for)
xxxooo, Sam
