and tyranny is more alarmingly ignorant, stupid and
arrogant, one onders: perhaps intellectuals might be
mustered to change the direction of things.
but quickly i get the image of the easily bullied
retreating to their inner worlds, their multisyllabic
words and their intellectual in jokes -- and all the
while criticizing harshly the culture they have
rejected.
the blind spot is that they could be interacting -- by
why should they?
if they got involved -- and actually were effective in
changing the world -- what would they have to criticize
and thus aggrandize themselves -- looking "all cool' as
they subtly use metaphor and simile to become detached,
intellectual, impersonal -- does the monster have two
heads? bush's actions as a conspirator and an able one
are one thing. but the disgust and therefore studied and
impersonal detachment of intellectuals --
average people want to beat up nerds because there are
problems in the world, and nerds are dropping Star wars
references and not lending their minds to real world
issues as did a R. Buckminster Fuller -- or others.
So i introduce this list of critical minds. you have
never heard of any of these people.
it's in no way all there fault. in a way i simply
criticize these idea people as a preface. But Britney
Spears and Eminem are REALLY not saving the world andif
you've noticed -- it needs saving. you noticed, right?
