Craziness, going too far . . . . . .

Fellow in Environmental Humanities, Spring 2023

Dartmouth College

Hanover, NH

Position offered to PhD in Humanities has description with this in it: Humanities scholars have paid close attention to how the Anthropocene's geo-logics (linear, stratigraphic time) limit our understanding of history and environmental justice. Many of these critical interventions into "earth history" have taught us about the racist and capitalist foundations of modernity's environmental crisis, yet have not provided clear pathways to solutions. The Institute's goal is to develop an environmentally inclusive humanities that fosters affective responses and intellectual practices that help us "move the world," rather than just "think the world". We invoke the fluid qualities of water and air currents to mobilize emotions related to precarity, in the hope that they can generate an affectively-informed environmental humanities.

 

Please get a load of the use of the word “Anthropocene” This is the new way of not saying human (rather than humxn) The characteristics of humans are determined in regards to geo-logics, now we have a domain of thought about the environment which is described as using linearity, using time (as a construct, which I agree with myself), and stratigraphic (geology that deals with the origin, composition, distribution, and succession of strata), heck, the much admired figure of the Left, Michel Foucault, certainly used these ways of thinking, in part. Though Foucault did speak of linearity of time and knowledge as having fissures, which created what he called episteme. I guess we throw them out as well.  Somehow racism and capitalism have destroyed the planet (more later)..  Maybe, if we are socialists AOC will tell us every move to make to protect the environment, which supersedes our existence.  Anthropocenes are irrelevant, obsolete. The goal is to reduce us to a manageable size.  Humans are inherently dangerous to the most important environment. I would not apply for this one. Maybe a future blog post on "move the world, not think the world"  We’ll see . . . . . . . .

Let's spread MISINFORMATION

According to the government 2  + 2 = 5  and Math is racist. Let’s spread the Truth, which is misinformation.  Let’s spread misinformation all over the place, in every household, community, city, state, and nation(s).  We will not cave on the matter of Truth, no matter how much they say 2 + 2 = 5. No matter what the Party tried to press upon the mind of Winston Smith (in George Orwell’s “1984”), Smith would not succumb, until the end.  For us we will not succumb to the lies, i.e. truth is lies; math is injustice; truth is unjust and other opposites that are flipped on their heads, and are made into the real lies that they are feeding the world.  The Left is relentlessly programming young children, to young adults, to you. Media process has you under its spell.  Stop watching TV and movies, please.  You will find only lies there.  So let’s spread misinformation, while the government is calling truth to be lies. Government and media are vacuous ...

21st century prophecies

In 21 Lessons for the 21 st Century , the GREAT prophet spoke, saying mockingly, “After all, we are God’s nation, so the argument goes, so what’s good for our nation is pleasing to God.  There certainly are religious sages who reject nationalist excesses and adopt far more universal visions. Unfortunately, such sages don’t wield much political power these days” uttering the excellent, profound, and provocative words, “the handmaid of nationalism is religion” as well, “Religions, rites, and rituals will remain important as long as the power of humankind rests on mass cooperation and as long as mass cooperation rests on belief in shared fiction” and “past experiences of the whole of humanity, will become less reliable guides” “The Zionist story fails to ascribe any meaning to Chinese Empires, to the tribes of New Guinea, and to the Andromeda galaxy, as well as to the countless eons that passed before the existence of Moses, Abraham, and the evolution of the apes” and “eternity is at...

Dirty words

  “Conservative” and “liberal” have been words that have incited arguments (not necessarily fighting) in the 20 th century.   In recent times the word “conservative” has become a dirty/filthy word.   It has indicated “hate” “Hate-speech” “unlovingness” and derogatory terms attributed to it. Conservatives have become the dregs of society, as Hillary Clinton most popularly named them “the deplorables” Another dirty word “Christian” has entered the dictionary of filth.   Are you sick of it?    Some say God is going to rectify this whole cultural mess, others (like me) think that there is too much invisible power invested in taking the West down, as evident in politics and those who feed politicians the sustaining coercive philosophy that will drive Christians into small groups that meet in homes, the Left is powering up for the take-down. Stand firm always and wait to see the salvation of the Lord Adonai More later on words that when given capital letters...
