"Teaching as a
Subversive Activity"
What everyone needs to
acquire at some point in
Learning to Learn,
if not in their lower or higher
and higher
Educational Institutionalization, is a
reliable Crap Detector:
trust worthy, dependable
beyond Duracell. No
mean acquisition—but rather
an accomplishment,
achievement. Not an
inheritable trait,
can’t be taught ,must be learned.
Drawn-out maybe,
educed.
Or call it an emerging
phenomena: rising up out of
cross-roads contexts
of conflict,
contrariety and excruciation.
“Bullshit” conjures. The
word tweaks me like no other itch
coming up from old scratch
I bet you five dollars: “Oh,
that’s
Just Bullshit!” And it has
no thing to do with whether I’m
telling lies or truth. Not a matter of correct or
accurate or
stretching and bending,
but something else. Flim flam for
the
joy of it. Awesome: my
humbug. Or the opposite: awful. A
double-edged word:
bullshit!
Truth & Lies: the
duplicitous bind I’m
always in. Bullshit’s
my “3rd term”
yin-yanger, mediator, regulator, negotiator,
messiah, trickster
confidence man: bullshit’s neither true
nor
false, nor not not false
& not not true either: in-betweener
liminal schemer. Math
people can signify this combo of
negation with
steno-precision. I’m
just abusing ordinary
language to try and send
the gist of it.
