This short film, though not exactly related to the present topic(s), I found super-interesting and worthwhile. It was made by a Christian film-maker in the Sixites. I thought some here would find it interesting at least.

[The Sixties is a time that I do not understand very well. And I have found that watching films of the time, and of people talking about their views, is helpful.]

Well here’s the deal. My wife is very definitely and constitutionally conservative. However when I met her she had not been exposed to the intellectual material that would support the social conservatism that informed her instinctively or intuitionally.

We talk about these matters a great deal. And because it is easier for me to access information, I have been able to present her with reading material which has helped her develop a better thought-out position in support of her values.

In a culture such as this — Colombia and Latin America in general — there are not enough resources for merely intellectual pursuit. When people attend Uni it is with a specific career objective. There is no time to waste nor resources to study outside of a career focus.

As it plays out few have sufficient background in ideas (philosophy, ethics, theology, political theory, etc.) and for this reason (like my wife) are weak when articulating an intellectually coherent position is needed. And if people cannot think things through at that level they become susceptible to the common trends which, here, tend to follow those of the mass-culture of the US (the strongest cultural influence).

Again, when for various reasons we fall away from classical education, and training in thinking, we wind up in the situation that you are in (without knowing it): in the grip of emoted, sentimental henid-like “ideas” that seem so true, so right. Half-cocked as it were, they careen off into bizarre territories of thinking more in common with postmodern pastiche than with intellectual clarity.

The reference to Weininger will no doubt evoke reaction, but his idea of the henid is important. Gary, you, Sculptor (and others) are driven by henids.

In my view (it does have some defects but is useful within limits) you people provide clear evidence of the feminized man. You are more women than you are men. But note that I am speaking predominantly of “yous” at an intellectual and idea level. And “the feminine” in a special sense.

When we set up the Reeducation Camps, and you are forced through our Intellectual Modification Program, know that you will be extruded in beautiful new form!

Oh Happy Day!
K: as far as I can tell from this ''biography'', your wife was stupid and
illiterate...and now, because of your ''greatness in teaching'', she can read and
tell us the finer points of the ''theory of relativity''... got it...

K: and that is the difference between us... I lived through stuff, the 60's for
example... and you can only read about stuff or watch films about things
you know nothing about... I experienced it, you watched films about it....

This is a mistaken idea, Kropotkin, though I am not minimizing the relevancy of the AK system.

I'd like to steer you, and readership here, toward the Benelli M4 Pistol Grip Semi-Auto 12 Gauge Assault Shotgun:

Well all I can say is that each culture and people have their own “categories” and that knowledge and meaning and value depend on local criteria.

In any case, here is a painting if My Belovèd I commissioned a while back:

No, silly, that is a painting that captures the moment when Jacobi's wife tried to stop the tribal chief from introducing her husband to the ceremonial "wampum club" for constantly pestering everyone to take his 10-week email course.

Note: Due to the ponderousness of the life altering Course Materials I had to add another week. It is now an 11 week email course but at the same affordable price-point. (Effectively, I turned it up to 11 in common parlance).

That means the amount we are saving each week by not taking the course is less than it used to be. :(

See, you deceive yourself with cynical logic. You have lost so much since the marvelous opportunity was first presented. And now you are counting the gold coins of your losses as if they are gains!
