eh?

Which is exactly what I meant when the subject of ID buzzed by a couple
of weeks ago – sit back and grin you may (but you're not grinning,
smirking or smiling, are you Pall), but the list of judges tells me
this is no laughing matter.

Is quite interesting to see how cliche it all is…

An afterthought – nothing published since 1970 seems to bother them –
also tells you something about their reading habits…

Actually, I am smiling but that's mostly because I'm a generally happy
person. The thing that really gets me about that list is seeing John
Dewey and Betty Friedan there. Calling these books harmful is… well…
weird. Teaching people to understand instead of mimic is harmful?
Telling women that they don't have to spend their lives in the kitchen
is harmful? Reminds me of when I was in junior high-school in Minot,
North Dakota and the school-board banned Newsweek from the school
library because there was a picture of Michelangelo's David. Marble
pee-pee's are harmful.

more proof they didn't read it. mostly OoS is a catalogue of
observations of phenomena that were curiously (to darwin) counter to
what folks believed at the time. the book is not explicit about a
theory of Evolution, though throughout the next 100 years or so,
that's what is reinterpreted and accredited to chuck.

or lack thereof.

these are all books they would have heard about from places besides
book shelves. doubt any of these judges had actually read any of em,
harmless examples of historical hype far outshining the actual print.
of the books i knew, the summaries were pretty off. whoever wrote
these, must not have actually read the books either.



odd phenomenon then! what compels these people to make a list of
ideas they want you to be scared of? it's assumed the books were
scary and then they listed them. but nooooo!? they are actually
scared, determined to make you scared and THEN go on to pretend there
are a list of scary ideas to explain some threatened feeling. the
books themselves can't actually be what's so scary because they've
just never dealt with more than the cover, the veneer, the label, the
hype. but they will vehemently argue about their determination of
what SHOULD scare people. they blame things like books.

some people are just hopelessly high strung, always scared and need
an explanation other than chemical imbalance. they just can't see
shadows without thinking something's hiding in them, waiting to
spring. screws up your ability to just see clearly. unfortunately,
the US is becoming sort of a peer support group for paranoid
schizophrenics.



(might also just be a weird marketing scheme. i see suburban
housewives clicking the forbidden links to amazon.)

Hi all,

Here is a more comprehensive 50 worst and 50 best list:
http://www.isi.org/journals/ir/50best_worst/index.html

The short synopses of the works are just that – short synopses. They are unapolagetically belligerent because the judges are picking a fight which they hope will lead to a reconsideration of "the canon."

Neither set of judges are dummies. I'm sure they are conversant with these texts and could readily delineate the impact these texts have had on western culture from their perspectives. They just fundamentally disagree with the boilerplate "progressive/enlightened" liberal world view we've inherited and are unwilling to accept it as beneficially progressive.

Might someone clearly understand the nuances of your world view and still choose not to subscribe to it (yea, even take some pot shots at it) without being rotely dismissed as a small-minded, barely literate simpleton? Is such an outcome possible?

peace,
curt

This is what they say of one of Galbraith's books:

John Kenneth Galbraith, The Affluent Society (1958)
Made Americans dissatisfied with the ineradicable fact of poverty. Led to
foolish public policies that produced the hell that was the 1960s.

Now there's a terrible thing to have done, 'made Americans dissatisfied with
the ineradicable fact of poverty.' While it may be that, in a capitalist
society, some amount of poverty is 'ineradicable', the gap between the rich
and the poor does not have to be as dramatic as it has become since the
Reagan era. To be satisfied with the extent of poverty in the USA and the
obscene gulf between the opportunities available to the rich and the poor
strikes me as the sort of oppressive mentality that people tried to escape
in coming to the 'new world'.

I was born in 1959, so I was pretty young during the sixties. But my friends
have usually been older than me, 'children of the sixties', whereas I was
but a kid in the sixties. Raising questions about social justice and acting
strongly and generously on these are the hallmark of that generation. They
were not satisfied that poverty was ineradicable and many of them tried
valiantly to do something about it. The sixties were a time of incredible
social ferment, artistic innovation, and social progress, in many ways.
This should not be discounted.

The apathy and smug satisfaction that followed with the suffering of others
seems more to me like hell. Galbraith is one of the shining and generous
figures of enlightenment. To read him cast as a fool is chilling.

Hi Geert

More like nothing since the enlightenment!

This is kind of pre modernism, but I think it might also be (US) dominant culture. Now that is serious.
