brb I gotta go apologize to the schizophrenic breaking windows in my neighborhood for 3000 years of unjust persecution.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

I'm very concerned.

[BurtReynolds]

I'm very concerned.

You should be. We are probably about to experience a crisis not seen since the bronze age collapse! Who knows what the stress will do to our brains this time.

Please describe said crisis.

[Malloy]

about to read some philosophy of the mind/neuroscience qua market fundamentalism bullshit. i don't wan to, but the neighbor down the hall, a reactionary of a bent i cant yet discern, has thrust it on me, and id feel impolite declining what is essentially an act of kindness.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

you could just...make him disappear...

[Malloy]

if i make a harvard-trained, professor emeritus at the best hospital in chicago disappear, i'll have bigger problems than finishing this book and finding something nice to say about it to him

[Malloy]

now if i had some way of getting in touch w a capably horrible man like klinghoffer

Please don't forget to update us with a title and authority once you have it. I'm on pins and needles.

It could be a Steven Pinker tour thing. That's my guess if I had to guess

are you reading or viewing anything tonight, a?

[The Argonaut]

I'm making a go at reading the entirety of the Bible for the first time in my life, solely as a historical and literary exercise. Not a spiritual exercise. So I've been looking at that a little each morning, currently about halfway into Leviticus.

I spent a good bit of today on some related supplementary reading which I am truly enjoying. God: An Anatomy


She is looking at how the early conceptions of the deity that became the God of the Bible we know and love today very definitely had a physical form. It's kind of a fun way to get a picture of the origins of religion in that region in the third through first centuries.

Tonight, I'm going to watch Saturday Night Fever, because I've never seen it and I want to prepare myself to look at an older Pablo Larrain movie, Tony Manero, which is apparently about a guy who's obsessed with John Travolta.

That's my story
