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!

[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.]

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).
