Mush

A friend of a friend is off to a seminar north of SF, put on by a group which is also advertizing the following conference:

Toward a Global Shift: Seeding the Field of Collective Change

The time is now, to join together in community, to share our dreams, celebrate and take action -- co-creating a new vision for our shared future.

Explore the forefront of positive transformation
Learn to co-create a sustainable future
Gain penetrating insights from pioneers
Engage in creative dialogue with people from all over the globe

This stuff sounds like it was put together out of a New Age text generator program.
Zzzzzzz.

On March 28, at local time 8:30PM wherever you are, let's everyone stop talking about "transformation" "spirituality" "community" etc for sixty minutes. If a whole hour without such flimflam talk seems to long, how about trying to not go on about such ostensible realities for at least thirty minutes? We each owe the Earth at least an effort in this direction, don't you think?

Anything that involves pioneers---I'm there in a jiffy.

Hope to brush up on my butter churning techniques.

See you there, Mr. Cathedra.

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
