I guess I am not bothered if someone thinks they know what the leaders mean. After all, aren't we all trying to figure out what God wants us to do? The problem comes when they inapproproately impose their views on others, as you say.

SU, how do you account for the argument that modernism and postmodernism have run alongside one another all along?

But as I posted yesterday, it's really apples and oranges, and the Enlightenment/modernism is not incompatible with Romaticism/postmodernism. Tolstoy and Cormac McCarthy have lived in both worlds. That's what the latter movements are all about, really, adding back mystery to the nothingness, the ultimate despair, and final annihilation represeneted by science, particularly natural selection. This is the soil of our greatest artistic and philosophical achievements. Religion is a cruder reaction, but born of similar longing. Facsism is a dark mutation, an evil mutant spawn of religion and Romanticism.

It's gibberish. I'm sorry about your education. (Don't take offense; inside joke.)

Before AA jumps all over me, let me correct. Frankenstein was more near the summit rather than the start of the romatic period.

Looks like a gentleman that I taught the discussions to donated $50,000. How does the downline thing work? What's my cut of that? |
