Lol!
Yes, 1990.
Everything in the volumes after Freud was added to this second edition. Some from before the 20th Century, but some of the 20th Century. Not sure what was taken out. The first edition was from 1952.

So I guess they still sell this, the 2nd edition:
https://britannicashop.britannica.co.uk/…
http://www.thegreatideas.org/index.html
http://www.greaterbooks.com/
https://www.britannica.com/
Not clear that Britannica offers the Great Books series or their encyclopedia on paper any more. Online only for the encyclopedia.
But to buy say a 2nd Edition Great books, over $1300 new, which is about what it used to cost.
https://www.amazon.com/Great-Books-Weste…
For institutional libraries though, that is the kind of thing which is likely to be donated. Good as reference, but for actual reading, the manuscripts in individual books.

Gateway to the Great Books. I know of it because a friend had it, a 10 volume set, released in 1963.
A number of authors in the Great Books set – such as Plutarch, Epictetus, Tacitus, Dante, Herman Melville, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, David Hume, John Stuart Mill, Francis Bacon, Charles Darwin and William James – were also represented by shorter works in the Gateway volumes. And several Gateway readings discussed authors in the Great Books series. For instance, a selection from Henry Adams' Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres critiqued the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas.
Indeed, many writers in the Gateway set were eventually "promoted" to the second edition (1990) of the Great Books, such as Alexis de Tocqueville, Molière, Henry James, Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, Albert Einstein and John Dewey.

I guess none of this stuff is published anymore. It had been by Encyclopedia Britannica. But they don't even offer their encyclopedia on paper anymore. Just online.
Again, the list:
https://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/l/literat…
They have always made it clear that the Bible is to be considered part of this Great Books Cannon.
Seems though that the translations of Plato and Aristotle and of Virgil and Tacitus are not controversial or needing regular updating, as the translations of the Bible are.
SJG
you dumbass. don't you know that if you are going to lie it should be at least plausible even if it isn't believable. the suggestion that you have a friend is neither plausible nor believable
This Thomas Aquinas College in Calif is a Right Wing Catholic school.
St. Johns, is where I know some people from. It is not like above.
http://www.thegreatideas.org/schools.htm…
https://www.sjc.edu/
As I have heard, all they do is read and discuss these Great Books, including the Bible.
Even that, as I see it, would be too much for 4 years.
I don't know if they have an lectures or examinations, or write any papers. Don't know. I don't think they read much outside commentary either.
But as some have said, it is a real trip to be with the same group of people discussing such books, and going on year after year.
One of the Hutchins ideas was that these greatest of book are readable and understandable, and especially if you are reading lots of them, an in chronological order. And then if you read books of interpretation and commentary, these are lesser books and should not be considered worth the time.
Hutchins was also refuting the older idea, that the books had to be read in their original languages. Yipes!

But how many women will also want to read them and also want to be in discussion groups?
I would say only a small minority. So I need to supply them with an additional selection of books. I don't want to supply Lint Head books. But they needn't be that.
Probably the best will be just to also have lots of books written by women, or otherwise known to be of interest to women.
So some will go for Simone de Beauvoir

Undoing the Demos: Neoliberalism's Stealth Revolution
https://www.amazon.com/Undoing-Demos-Neo…
^^^^^ In libraries, getting heavily used too.
Wendy Brown, UC Berkeley
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendy_Brow…
Brown treats “neoliberalism as a governing rationality through which everything is 'economized' and in a very specific way: human beings become market actors and nothing but, every field of activity is seen as a market, and every entity (whether public or private, whether person, business, or state) is governed as a firm." To address such threats, Brown argues, democracy must be reinvigorated not only as an object of theoretical inquiry but also as a site of political struggle.[45]

These books might be of interest to women. Especially the first. Looks like an assumed author name, though I don't know. Seems to deal in the light occult, and that stuff can lead to superstitious New Age Lint Head thinking. Need to look it over.

The cover picture is from multiple faiths, the figure is from Zoroastrianism.
They say that transcendentalism is planted deeply in California. I think this was someone writing about Steinbeck's Cannery Row, and the sequel, Sweet Thursday, and about the "bums".
Some aspects of transcendentalism I do go along with. Some of it comes from Kant.
But other I do not. I call the people, "New Age Lint Heads".
I trace this to what is desribed in William James's 1901 "Varieties of Religious Experience", and what he calls "Healthy Mindedness", and then the rise of things like New Thought.
I don't go along with any of this whatsoever and I make my disgust with its proponents known.
It looks to be a reaction to Calvinism and the Second Great Awakening, but as I see it, it is just a repackaging. Its people trying to be different from their parents, but actually being no different.

Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists.
On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital, on private gain. In its completely developed form, this family exists only among the bourgeoisie. But this state of things finds its complement in the practical absence of the family among proletarians, and in public prostitution.
The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital.
Do you charge us with wanting to stop the exploitation of children by their parents? To this crime we plead guilty.

Really need to go thru about three different such texts, if educating yourself. This is what I have found. Though most very well written, they each have their own way.
People who know this material well, like they teach the classes and write the books, they can read such stuff just like it is the morning newspaper as they already know it so well, and there are only so many types of examples which can be given.
Again, in the orgnaization I am building we will have a robust supply of such books, most bought used. And I am expert at gluing damaged books back together so they are even better than new.
This Douglas Gioncoli, in my view his book is a little bit lighter weight, just a touch.

Fundamentals of Physics Extended 9th Edition
David Halliday (Author),

Halidy and Resnick, this is great. The old ones from the 70's written by them, sometimes one volume, sometimes to. A beautiful and very formal writing. These kinds of books are large and heavy.
The new ones, written by Jearl Walker, lots of real good and modern examples. In some ways easier, but not any less depth. Can be as many as 5 volumes, which makes it easier to handle.
But all of these books are just an introduction to something which goes much much further.
Again, those who really know this material well can just go right through it like it were a pile of newspapers.

Feynman Lectures, volume 1 of 3
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_…
I introduce both of these together, both written about the same time. Both being written by a school, rather than a single author or a book publishing company.
Both intended to improve and accelerate the way physics is taught. Both extremely interesting books to work through for those who already understand the material. But neither works well for actually teaching the undergraduates, as intended. And today neither is used.
The Berkeley course is unusual in that in Vol1 they go all through mechanics and even go all the way to relativistic mechanics where momentum and energy become proportional, instead of the latter being the square of the other. They do all this without ever talking about electromagnetism or traveling waves, or in any other way explaining what light is.
And then when they do talk about even mechanical waves, it is after they have done electromagnetism. Also opposite of the norm. And then finally they only do thermodynamics at the very end, macro and micro together. A very ambitious project they under took, and with a preface by none other than Clark Kerr.
The Berkeley books also use these CGS units, and this also makes all the electrical units completely strange. No one uses this today, except that maybe for some computer programing these units may be convenient, better to keep the numbers within bounds. For someone who knows the material, you can go through and work out all the differences on paper. But for people just learning it is an undesirable complication.
Cal Tech had found that its first year Physics had expanded to two years, and so they wanted to make it go faster. So they had Feynman give these video lectures. I guess they used early Ampex reel to reel video tape. They had others then prepare the books. The first is awesome, the second okay, and the third so so.
Hearing reports from someone who tried to teach from these books, an experienced Physics teacher, he was having to spend 6 hours per lecture just to come up with other things to say on top of Feynman.
But alas, people cannot learn in courses using such books. There are now lots of better new first year Physics books on the market. Feynman's series are for people who already understand it and just want to revel in the beauty of it.
I believe that both of these experiments did contribute to the writing better text books.

Griffiths also has one on quantum mechanics and particle physics. I have no doubt that they are just as good.

I think this is what I read before, 2014. Rather bleak view on the prospects for getting energy from nuclear fusion. Problem is that it always puts out hot neutrons. So it eventually it destroys all the components of the reactor.
Also, sometimes it needs not only deuterium, but also tritium. This latter has to be made in a nuclear reactor and doing so uses up vastly more energy than you will ever get back from it.
Not like the sun. Not encouraging. The author says that the quest for nuclear fusion power is ultimately just another chapter in the quest for military and economic power which has always driven the development of fossil fuel and nuclear fission power.

Lagrange's Equations, way to treat motion via energy and momentum. Suggests Goldstein H., Classical Mechanics 1953.
and Synge J. L. and Griffith B. A. Principles of Mechanics 1949.
and then goes on to rigid body issues and the 6 degrees of freedom and standard ways of laying out the 12 equations for space and aircraft.
Suggests
Erkin B. Dynamics of Flight, 1959
and Seckel E., Stability and Control of Airplanes and Helicopters, 1964
Gets into differential equations and how to solve them, and all the issues with initial conditions and whether or not the A matix is time independent.
Then goes into all the Laplace Transform material and then into pole placement and observers.
Then into LQC, and then into Kalman

It is a thinner book than one might expect for a year long course. But I see that it also references supplementary chapters which are available online.

And then if one is educating themselves and those online chapters are no longer available, one can simply add in another book or two.

various books about the wavelet transform, like:
Wavelet analysis : the scalable structure of information / Howard L. Resnikoff, Raymond O. Wells, Jr
Never read this anywhere, but I feel that the wavelet transform is motivated by interest in doing machine detection, and this of course is always non-linear. So they are looking for something between the time domain and the frequency domain.

This is a brilliant critique of the entire AI project, especially as it first started at MIT with Marvin Minsky, in the late 50's. Dreyfus actually left MIT and came to UC Berkeley because of his difference in views.
Suffice to say, I agree with it, and see the 'expert system's' or natural language, or rules inference approach to AI as idiotic. And this still applies today.
I must add though, that I do still see rules inference as a good way to write certain types of programs.

1. "The Plague"
2. "Have Fun At Work"
3. "Friends In High Places"
http://infohost.nmt.edu/~shipman/org/hfa…
All by William L. Livingston, a blistering critique of corporate culture during the 1980's.
Livingston used to publish this news letter called, "Fuzzball Eater's Society". They seemed to be aerospace engineers from the North East.
All most interesting. But the books came out through non-standard channels. May be very hard to get, but well worth.
Also draws upon this Swiss Dr. Rudolph Starkerman.

Have fun at work (Engineering Empowerment)
It is dangerous, and often fruitless, to try and solve problems without considering the underlying social system.
This is the message of William L. Livingston, a mechanical engineer with over 100 patents and decades of industrial experience. Several books and a newsletter detail his disturbing but important worldview. They are all available from FES Ltd Publishing, P.O.Box 158, Stuart, FL 34995, phone (407) 229-5654, fax (407) 229-5636.
``Have Fun at Work'' (1988, ISBN 0-937063-05-3, $24.95) is the basic work. It's also available from Amazon.com.
This book discusses chronic patterns of organizational malfunction that I have observed personally many times while working for computer firms (4 years at Hewlett-Packard and 6 years at Tandem, among others).
Man is not well-adapted for solving complex problems, he argues. Our brains and bodies and, to a large extent, our social systems evolved for the lives of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. Faced with truly complex problems, our managers generally fall back on instinct. This can produce legendary debacles like the original baggage handling system at Denver International.
The book sketches a different social structure that is better equipped to cope with complexity: the Skunkworks. The term comes from a legendary aircraft development shop that produced the U-2 and Blackbird aircraft. In general, a Skunkworks is a small (3--5) team of battle-hardened, generalist engineers equipped with the latest in software tools for simulating the behavior of all the involved systems (mechanical, electrical, software, and social).
On a purely practical level, this book is an excellent survival manual for results-oriented engineers who have developed attitude problems about the structural barriers to success in their work environments. Livingston discusses how to evaluate your social structure's potential for success, ways to get working projects out the door in spite of these barriers, and how to tell when you're wasting your time even working there.
Livingston's more recent work, ``Friends in High Places'' (1990, ISBN 0-937063-06-1, $28.50), spends less time discussing organizational pathologies and more time discussing the Skunkworks procedure. It is a somewhat more positive, less bitter work than ``Have Fun at Work.''
Livingston's work has continued in a quarterly newsletter called ``Short Circuit.'' I find these newsletters very exciting, as Livingston and several colleagues report back from the cutting edge of the Skunkworks movement. They have thrown down the gauntlet: they will demonstrate the method to skeptics. They have asked for thorny problems to solve. The ones they have taken on have proved the method. The main reason why they haven't done more is that they almost always tell clients that their social system has to change if they want success---and people are often very reluctant to abandon their social system, however badly it may work.
Update: Livingston has put up a web with the latest material, The Front End. Please see this site for current information.
Also see Dee Hock's Institutions in the Age of Mindcrafting, which is strongly congruent with Livingston's ideas.

As I have written, in the organization I am building, our libraries will have all of these and much more.
Just one hour spent with most any of these books, and a guy will learn so so much. And all right there for you to avail yourself of.
So think about it, you come for a ritual event, maybe you have some early time, so the library. Then the ritual and that goes directly into sex with one of our stripper grade hotties.
So then maybe you have a project meeting, you go to that.
Then more sex.
Then back to the library.
Then picking one of our hotties to bed down with and pump more loads into.
So much better than the completely wasteful ways most people's lives are set up.

The Tree of Knowledge: The Biological Roots of Human Understanding ( 1992 )

And then from that same group, originally Chile, then UC Berkeley, came:

But then this also connects to:

https://www.amazon.com/Women-Fire-Danger…
These guys were undoubtedly in communication with UCB's Hubert Dreyfus.
Then there is also an early Maturana and Varela book which deals with their special idea of autopoeisis, in a strictly mathematic way, and draws upon the legendary:

Usually if you are aiming for The Best, it will come down to trade offs between noise and distortion, and also the quest for the best transformerless CMRR on balanced inputs. Sometimes power consumption and heat are also issues, as mixing boards can otherwise be very power consumptive. Most commercial stuff is quite compromised, and much audiophile stuff is not pure non-sense.
Douglas Self, UK, has 5 books now, and I am sure they are all good.

And this should be mandatory reading for everyone:

And John Linsley Hood has other books too.
Also to really understand this stuff, important to study all the materials on monolithic op-amp design, to understand the strengths and weakness and design issues, versus discrete or hybrid. Again, it comes down to noise and distortion trade offs, along with CMRR, of power supply (PSRR), and balanced inputs, and now also D to A conversions. And then also, do you want to use switching power supplies, and all the issues with that.

Shockley really is beyond belief. David Packard found him highly offensive.
Joel Shurkin was a counselor of students at Stanford. He also wrote:
Terman's Kids: The Groundbreaking Study of How the Gifted Grow Up
https://www.amazon.com/Termans-Kids-Grou…
Terman was also quite a piece of work.
Shockley wrote:
Electrons and Holes in Semiconductors: With Applications to Transistor Electronics, originally 1953
https://www.amazon.com/Electrons-Holes-S…
Though published in 1953, much of the work came from a paper Shockley published in 1939. Many people had to shift their focus to more immediate things, on account of the war. Shockley's work I believe is the first example of where you can treat semiconductor valence band "holes" as a particle.
About Solid State Physics and its history:
https://www.amazon.com/Out-Crystal-Maze-…
And a Dover Classics reprint of Stanford's own Walter A. Harrison's book on the Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals. All about using computers to work beyond the limits of analytic solutions to the multiple electron quantum mechanics problems:
https://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Struct…
And then of course Standord's Jim Gibbons, a kind of Shockley protegee, the ion implant man, as semiconductor manufacturing moved beyond vapor phase epi to get shallower devices, vertical scaling, using ion implant:
https://profiles.stanford.edu/james-gibb…
https://www.amazon.com/Projected-Range-S…
also another book on III-V semiconductors:
https://www.amazon.com/Implantation-Proc…
But mostly these books are just a theory and then pages of tables generated by computer simulations. Today better to run your own programs.
Lewis Terman and his IQ testing of US inductees for WWI is, in my opinion, the basis of Aldus Huxley's Brave New World idea of their being 5 different intelligence categories for humanity.
Who studied under Terman at Stanford was one Harry Harlow, known for his crazy money experiments on behalf of National Institute of Health at U Wisconsin Madison.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKRnxZR1…
Freemasons Worldwide: 10,000 temples, 5 million members
Manley Palmer Hall wrote the the Masonic ritual about the murder of the master mason is actually a handed down version of the Egyptian myth of the murder of Osiris. And generally occultists want to go back before Solomon's Temple, but to Ancient Egypt.
Italy's P2 Lodge was known to be a crypto Masonic Lodge, really a shadow Italian Gov't, and tied to the German Nazi Party.

The most important of our f2f rituals always amount to sex. Otherwise no reason to take the time and trouble to journey to the temple. Everything else can be done online.
So some will be ritualized, but most will be completely informal. And never any cost to it. If you don't pick one of the women quickly, then it won't matter because they'll pick you.
Drained dry 365 days a year.
For on site sleep overs, since that ties up a girl all night, we do have to ration it, to 4 times per week. But you can still stay at the temple every night and go and get extra rounds whenever you are ready, and if you know the women outside, then sleep overs are between you and them.

Book is actually a novel. Templar Crusaders encounter contingent of Niziri A**a**ins coming out from their base near Caspian Sea and Tehran, to Syrian sea coast. Looks like it will later go back to the South of France and the Cathars, and then to the Crusade against the Cathars, and then to the French Monarchy's Purge Against the Templars.

Mark Stavish
Mark Stavish, Director of Studies
Mark Stavish, the Director of Studies for the Institute for Hermetic Studies, is a life-long student of esotericism with over 35 years experience in comparative religion, philosophy, psychology, and mysticism with emphasis on Traditional Western Esotericism. His articles have appeared in academic, specialty, and mass market publications specializing in spiritual studies, making Mark one of the leading authorities in Hermeticism today.
In addition to being a member and officer of several prominent Rosicrucian and Martinist societies, Mark served as the Director of Research for the Occult Research and Applications Project, of the Philosophers of Nature (PON). The Philosophers of Nature was founded by Jean Dubuis in France in 1979 and for twenty years was the leading resource for practical information on mineral and plant alchemy, as well as qabala. ORA, a statistically based research wing of the American branch of PON performed detailed exploration into the validity and practicality of various traditional esoteric methods. Original research from the ORA Project was published in the organization's journal, The Stone.
Mark has been a return guest on Coast to Coast AM (C2C), Just Energy Radio, and Animal Planet/History Channel, as well as been a consultant for documentaries and print article dealing with spirituality.
A graduate of King's College, in Theology (B.A.), and Communications (B.A.), and Rhode Island College (Providence), with a Master's degree in Counseling emphasizing psycho-spiritual modalities and Psychosynthesis, Mark brings a unique blend of tradition with modern research to the application of esoteric philosophy.

So book is really really good. Dunn has exensive wealth of understanding and shows the results of decades of private reading, research, and practice.
In a few areas I would break with Dunn, but only in a few.
Taking me much longer to work through the book then I had expected. Still want to document his references, and read his second book.
Anybody read things like this? Any women read such things?

Antifa, The Anti-Fascist Handbook, by Mark Bray
In hand now.
https://www.amazon.com/Antifa-Anti-Fasci…
Expecting a thin book, lots of pictures. But more like a paperback novel.
From back cover:
So long as there has been fascism, there has been anti-fascism, also known as 'antifa.' Born out of resistance to Mussolini and Hitler in Europe during the 1920's and 30's, the antifa movement has suddenly burst into the headlines amid opposition to the Trump administration, the rise of the alt-right, and the resurgence of white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan.

So the first chapter deals with everything up through 1945. They talk about a street battle in the Montmartre district of Paris, 1925. That I guess was a Left stronghold. But this fascist with his youth movement, in blue shirts and blue Basque berets marched, shouting out anti-semetic stuff.. And the Left encountered them and shooting broke out.
So Fascism and Anti-Fascism they say started in the late 1890's, over the Dreyfus Affair. The wrongly convicted and imprisoned Jewish Army Captain. The left supported his release and eventual exoneration. The Right opposed him and made him into an anti-Semitic cause.
But they also site Robert Paxton:
https://www.amazon.com/Anatomy-Fascism-R…
He had commented on the Trump situation during the 1916 election.
Paxton feels that all Fascism started in the US, after the Civil War, with the rise of the Ku Klux Klan.
And then others go the more often cited way, saying that it started with the 1815 Vienna Conference, settling the Napoleonic Wars, reinstating the Prussian monarchy, and generally being reactionary.
Though the 1848 revolts did fail, these did in much of Europe lead to movement away from monarchy.

Elysian Encounter-Baker Gurvitz Army - playlist full album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0-DUyaY…
Talks about the out break of WWI, the assassination of Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand. For years the socialist parties of Europe had discussed plans for a massive continental general strike at the outset of war, to stop militarism dead in its tracks. But when the trumpets sounded, most parties fell in line behind their nations states.
A notable exception was the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (Bolshevik) and their fiery leader Vladimir Lenin for whom the conflict was quite simply "a predatory imperialist war".
It was actually Weimar Socialist Leader Friedrich Ebert who sent the paramilitary Freikorps to put down the Jan 1919 Spartacist uprising and the murdering of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknect.
And it talks about all the complexity in the rise of Mussolini.
SJG
"When Hitler formed his new Party, he didn't really bring any innovations to existing right-wing ideology. The mix of militarism, traditionalism, hypermasculinity, anti-Semitism, and anti-Marxism that he set within a social Darwinist framework of national and racial struggle was but a particularly virulent strain of prevailing far-right thought."
"Hitler, on the other hand, had come to master the psychological element of propaganda. Rather than put forward "reasons" designed to "refute other opinions," he aimed at the "elimination of thought" and the creation of a "receptive state of fanatical devotion" through a dynamic politics of constant action."
SJG
So I had seen Antonio Gramsci as the origin of the autonomous movements. But he was all pre WWII.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Gr…
Book says the Autonomous Movement started in Italy right after WWII, by Marxists shift their focus back to local workers.
So we have:

As I thought, this Autonomous Movement was not about violent revolution, not about following Moscow. Not even about trying to win at the ballot box. It advocates for the left, usually something like Social Democracy. But mostly it is just some form of communalism, or worker ownership. Maybe they are squatting somewhere, but otherwise it is perfectly legal.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomism
Early theorists (such as Mario Tronti, Antonio Negri, Sergio Bologna, and Paolo Virno)
Like other Marxists, autonomists see class struggle as being of central importance. However, autonomists have a broader definition of the working class than do other Marxists: as well as wage-earning workers (both white collar and blue collar), autonomists also include in this category the unwaged (students, the unemployed, homemakers, etc.), who are traditionally deprived of any form of union representation.
Well, in general I do like this. But being involved in community organizations, I say that in the US today, doing this with those at the bottom, the homeless, would be completely impossible.
Their brains are fried, on Alcohol, on Street Drugs, on Born Again Christianity, on Recovery, on Psychiatric Medications, and on Libertarian Anti-Government ideology.
So you could never make any kind of communalism or political action work with such persons.
So let me get some here out of the 'Antifa' book:
No Pasaran ( You shall not pass ) from Antifa defense of Madrid.
book, mostly about West Germany:
Geronimo, Fire and Flames: A History of the German Autonomous Movement (2012)
Jeremy Varon, Bring The War Home: The Weather Underground, the Red Army Faction, and Revolutionary Violence in the Sixties and Seventies (2004)
Page 52
"
Italian autonomia spread to West Germany in the late 1970's where it coalesced with the developing feminist, alternative, antinuclear, and squatters' movements to forge a robust milieu of autonomous squats and social centers. The Autonomen, as these militants of all genders were called, rejected the "stale" traditions of the Left. Instead they sought to "practice different forms of life in the here and now." "We fight for ourselves," one autonomous journal explained in 1982, "We do not engage in representative struggles. We do not fight for ideology, or for the proletariat, or for 'the people." We fight for a self-determined life."

"
the Alt Right is defined by racial nationalism, the inequality of people and races, the need for traditional gender roles, the necessity of hierarchy and general anti-democracy, and anti_Semitism. When compared with screeching neo-Nazis waving Swastika banners, what separates the Alt Right is its tech savvy adherent, clever memes, and upper-middle class, college educated constituencies."
and
"The core of alt-right makes little to no effort to conceal its fascism."
page 111:
"
Trump even named Steve Bannon, a former Breitbart News executive chair and admirer of the fascist ideologue Julius Evola , as CEO of his campaign, and then White House Chief Strategist."
Julius Evola was a Fascist and Racist Occultist who positioned himself to the Right of Mussolini.
Five Historical Lessons for Anti-Fascists
1. Fascist revolutions have never succeeded. Fascists gained power legally.
2. To varying degrees, many interwar Anti-Fascist leaders and theorists assumed that Fascism was simply a variant of traditional counterrevolutionary politics. They did not take it seriously enough until it was too late.
3. For ideological and organizational reasons, Socialist and Communist leadership was often slower to accurately assess the threat of Fascism, and slower to advocate militant Anti-Fascist responses, than their parties' rank-and-file membership.
4. Fascism steals from left ideology, strategy, imagery, and culture.
5. It doesn't take that many Fascists to make Fascism.

Nirvana - Come As You Are
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vabnZ9-e…
This song in my head last night. It must be in the Key of D.
Most everyone can hear relative pitch. But very few can hear absolute pitch. The reason every key sounds different is because the percussion tuning is not changed. Musicians deny that percussion is tuned to any specific pitch, saying that rather it is just tuned until it sounds right. But that is silly, because that is exactly how a violin is played, by making it sound right. Tympani tunes with a crank handle, and it has a gauge right on it. So the kick drum is tuned to A of the 16ft octave, the same as the second to lowest string of a four string bass, 55 hz. All the drums are tuned.
These kind of songs are always in D. I think it has something to do with that A note, the dominant.
So to really know you almost have to play along with it. The D scale has F and C sharped. But it can be done with accidentals too. And some music revolves around other notes than the tonic. Some is Mixolyidian and so it revolves around the dominant and has the 7th ( C# ) flatted. Lots of ways. In the end it is just listening to it and trying to play along which will resolve this.
This ends on the D major triad and the chorus versus end on the D major triad. Usually that is the final determinant of what key it is in.
Alternate guitar tuning is being used, one suggestive of D.

Cyberspace : first steps / edited by Michael Benedikt
So this brings back memories as I had read much of it when it was first published back in 1991.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_R.…
http://www.mheim.com/
And as I am reading Michael Benedikt's I am struck by just how Heideggerian it all is. But if it is Heideggerian, then it is not Deleuzian. Deleuze is the first post Heideggerian. Do it is not Deleuzian, except maybe for Benedikt's 4th Thread, as that is based on Mathematics. This may be the way that Deleuze gets beyond Heidegger.

Michael Heim had taught at CSU Long Beach. Then he became a "Free Lance Professor of Philosophy". Seems to be doing quite well too.
So Benedikt talks about Karl Popper. In 1972 Popper laid out his idea of there being 3 worlds. World 1 is the objective world of material things. World 2 is the subjective world of consciousness, calculations, feelings, thoughts. World 3 is objective and real public structures, though not necessarily intentional.
Again, very Heideggerian.
But now Benedikt lays out his four threads.

Virginia might be the most important early sign of where the House is going. The Democrats’ must-win there is in the 10th District, where strategists in both parties say Republican Rep. Barbara Comstock is unlikely to hold onto her seat in the DC suburbs. Republican Rep. Scott Taylor’s race in the Norfolk-area 2nd District, though, is a much better bellwether for the national environment. And if the GOP Rep. Dave Brat loses in the 7th District outside Richmond — or even if he’s in a tight race — it could be an early sign of a building Democratic wave.

and in talking about his thread 4, the thing which makes him not completely Heidegerrian, talking about mathematics, he particularlyl talks about Descartes and his joining algebra and geometry, analytic geometry, and even his coordinate system for 3D space.
So of course this opens the door right up for talk about Leibniz, and also to Deleuze and Guattari.

Saturday I reported on a man who had vanished from a 49er's stadium game the previous Monday. Saturday they found a body in the water near the old unused Alviso Marina and some old concrete boat ramps. The stuff is unused because silt comes in from the bay and fills it up.
I have years ago explored all around there. It is interesting, but even in the day time potentially dangerous. I once got stuck hip deep in mud and a shoe came off. Getting my foot back into the shoe I was able to recover it. But I was taking more risks in doing so.
This man was in the military, maybe Special Forces. So likely he handles himself quite well in the outdoors, even at night.
Not sure if any conclusions have been reached, but to me it sounds more and more like a suicide. Left his cell phone, battery run down to zero, in his car at the stadium. Also left his girl friend and her two kids there. But talking on the phone and using video up until the point he vanished.

https://heavy.com/news/2018/11/ian-power…
I believe that police probably have more tidbits of information which they are not going to disclose until they are ready to close the case.
In a homicide it is usually those closest to the deceased who did it, and they are exposed by the contradictions in their stories. To me, this is sounding more and more like a suicide.
Here it sound like he was found at the boat launch, though those concrete ramps are unusable do to silt.

You know that in TIAACM ( The I Am A Christian Movement ) churches they tell people to ignore politics, and this is how they advance a reactionary political agenda.
Well if you ever visit a UU Church, you will quickly see that they have always been wired in to some of the greatest things about this country, and particularly the movement to abolish slavery and to give women the vote.
page 101, F. Forrester Church, speaking of Lincoln's Gettysburg and Second Inaugural addresses, "For Lincoln the American proposition was a religious proposition. Universal in nature and liberal in spirit, the American covenant transcended all other creeds by placing its adherents under a higher judgment."
And then back on page 82, "Removed from its foundaton in natural theology, the principle of equality of opportunity is reduced to social Darwinism -- the economic survival of the fittest. Instead of a cooperative social thick, facilitated by law to promote the cultivation of every individual's promise and to protect every individual's rights, self-interested individualism emerges as our model, often draped with patriotic bunting ripped from the fabric of such documents as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. This misrepresents not only Jefferson but also John Locke. Both believed that the liberty of one person has neither ethical nor political validity apart from the protection of others' liberty."
Then F. Forrester Church looks at the language being used and shows how focusing on things like Freedom and Liberty in isolation amount to idolatry. He looks at the language being borrowed and being altered to show how Jefferson and Madison are actually moving quite a ways away from Locke.
A very well written book, everyone should read it, and everyone should have the kind of an education that F. Forrester Church has.

This was 1973, and that's Jessie Jackson up there on stage with him.
Jessie had a way of getting in front of cameras at the right time.
This is a really gross subject. But in 1968 Jessie was not up on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis with Dr. King and Ralph Abernathy at the critical moment. The photo which shows that he was there was a publicity photo taken the day before.
But somehow, as the television crews were arriving, somehow Jessie must have gotten some blood, because it was smeared all over his shirt and he got in front of the cameras, and he was still wearing that same bloody shirt the next day on a television interview show. And his explanations for all of this have changed over the years.
Dr. King had already politely told news reporters that he was cutting Jackson loose. And King talked about the "band leader instinct", seeming to refer to Jackson.
https://www.nytimes.com/1988/04/18/us/ko…
Extremely well written book. Impossible for me to speak to everything he raises within it. Though old now, this is a book one really needs to have on their own shelf.
Seems to have been written to influence the 1992 Presidential Election. Wants to introduce a language which takes back all the symbols from the Right. To me now, F. Forrester Church is really a moderate. But his approach is very effective.
So he was Pastor at All Souls UU, in NYC.

So the UU's have partnered with another church, and they have got an extensive tutoring program going with the local school children.
So Sylvia Ann Hewlett, book: When the Bough Breaks: The Cost of Neglecting Our Children
When the bough breaks : the cost of neglecting our children / Sylvia Ann Hewlett. (1991)
https://www.amazon.com/When-Bough-Breaks…
So Hewlett is one of their congregants.
One quarter of all preshcool children live below the poverty level, a figure more that twice that of adult Americans. More than a quarter of all children fail to graduate from high school. We have an estimated one million homeless families.
Neglected children become problem children at an extraordinary cost to society. One estimate puts it at $300,000 per child. Ever dollar spent on prenatal care saves more than $3 in hospitalization costs for premature babies. In 1990 the White House Task Force on Infant Mortality estimated that one-quarter of the 40,000 infant deaths that occur yearly in this country could easily be prevented, as could many of the 100,000 handicaps that may accompany premature births.
A low birth weight baby may incur medical expenses of some $400,000.
And then this was all back in 1991. Today the cost numbers will be much higher, but the situation far worse as the wealth gap and job stability situation has gotten far worse.
Some think capital punishment is the answer. Prosecuting a capital case costs between $1.8 Meg to $ Meg, and this far and away exceeds the costs of incarcerating someone for 40 years.
Creating a vicious circle, each new generation of children is further victimized, for many of dollars spent on new jails and additional policement are picked directly from its teachers' pockets.
We need nothing less than a Marshall plan to save our children. A liberal pro-family policy would dispense with moral posturing and self-righteous rhetoric, replacing both with vigorous remedial action to address this crisis at its source. Education must become our first priority, with strong emphasis on preschool programs, better paid and trained teachers, more exciting schools, a longer school year, enhanced educational programming, and more adequate educational loan and job training programs.Though expensive, anything we do to save our children will be cost-effective in the long run. "If you take good care of children they will add to the productive capability of an economy; if you fail to look after children, they will drag a nation down", Hewlett writes.
To Be Continued
SJG
"Removed from its foundation in natural theology, the principle of equality of opporunity is reduced to social Darwinism -- the economic survival of the fittest.
"the pursuit of happiness," codified in our Declaration of Independence as an unalienable right, today forms the trip wire for many who cite our founders as authorities to legitimate their overweening reverence for unbridled liberty.
American liberalism is perverted when it lapses into either libertinism or libertarianism. Idolatries of freedom enshrine liberty as an unholy sacred cow, predicating happiness on the principle of self-gratification or self-interest. In biblical parlace, idolatry results when something less than God ( even something good ) is worshiped as, or in the place of, God. When worshiped apart from other goods, such as justice and neighborliness, even so noble a principle as freedom can have a corrosive effect.
When they spoke of the pursuit of happiness, our liberal founders had something more redemptive in mind than mere self-gratification or self-aggrandizement. They thought of it as a divine right, with attending moral consequences.
pursuit is a vocation or calling, not a chase, and happiness is an attainment of the good, not of goods.
George Washington said it in his First Inaugural"
"There is no truth more thoroughly established than that there exists in the economy and course of nature an indissoluble union between virtue and happiness; between duty and advantage...."
Garry Wills writes that "When Jefferson spoke of pursuing happiness, he had nothing vague of private in mind. He meant a public happiness which is measureable; the test and justification of any government."
The text explains how by invoking happiness, Jefferson was breaking with Locke's more narrow call for property rights.
It explains that Jefferson likely was drawing from the French translation of the Beatitudes, the word being used "heaux", instead of our 'blessed". He kept this French translation always by his bedside.
So he talking about something more like Right Livelyhood, Right Living, Right Everything.

She gets into some of the things which really infuriated me about these abstinence advocates.
First, around 1990 there was this contraceptive sponge which was going through public testing. Billed as being the most ideal of contraceptives ever invented.
And then more recently, a vaccine for the HPV viruses.
Well the Christian Right and the Abstinence Advocates fought hard against these, and not because they might be ineffective or have side effects, they fight against them precisely because they might work exactly as intended.
So here I want to record some of Goldberg's more interesting looking references:

Mexico City looks to have its pluses, but TJ's Zona has so many in a concentrated area, just a few steps from suitable accommodations. Yes, I guess its obvious, I like looking at street hookers, and how they are dressed and the fact that it is in public in full daylight are a big part of it.

Christian reconstructionists advocate a theonomic government and libertarian economic principles. They maintain a distinction of spheres of authority between family, church, and state.
So a major influence in this is :
Christian reconstructionism's founder, Rousas Rushdoony, wrote in The Institutes of Biblical Law (the founding document of reconstructionism) that Old Testament law should be applied to modern society, and he advocates the reinstatement of the Mosaic law's penal sanctions. Under such a system, the list of civil crimes which carried a death sentence would include murder, homosexuality, adultery, incest, lying about one's virginity, bestiality, witchcraft, idolatry or apostasy, public blasphemy, false prophesying, kidnapping, rape, and bearing false witness in a capital case.
I also notice that they names of a bunch of break away Presbyterian groups always come up, promoting Creationism / Intelligent Design, and Abstinence only no condom programs.
The breakaway Presbyterian groups usually include in their name, "Evangelical" or "Redeemer"
And most all of this seems to be coming right out of the John Birch Society.
And then above I failed to mention one important reference:

But my reading balance plan which served me well for over 1.5 years, has just completely fallen apart.
So Spong cites Jeremiah as one of the source of Universalism, as opposed to the Tribal War God. I had known this, when Jeremiah endorses Nebuchadnezzar.
But then he also sees in in Malachi.
Of the twelve minor prophets, Spong discounts as adding very little:
Joel, Obadiah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Haggai
He does find the value in:
Hosea, Amos, Micah, Jonah, Zechariah, and Malachi

Finished with it for now. Actually a very good book, but now what I most need to be reading now. Very little of the Bible, or especially of the New Testament could be considered a first person account, reliably what Jesus said, or anything you or I should take as a prescription to live by.
John generally is seen as the greatest of the Gospels, but it by far the furthest removed from a literal historical record. Almost no statements attributed to Jesus now seen as authentic.
Anyway, They say the first writings of the NT were 1 Thessalonians, 51 CE. And Paul was expecting an immanent second coming, and he was definitely a religious rules fanatic.
Then Galatians, commonly referred to as the Manga Carta. Then Corinthians 1 and 2, doing so much to lay out his theology, and his ideas about speaking in tongues.
Spong sees the middle Paul as being embodied in the two Corinthians and Romans.
The the later Paul in Phielemon and Philippians.
These make for the only agreed upon Authentic Paul.
Colossians and II THessalonians are still in debate. And the rest is considered in-authentic.
This includes Ephsians, and this is what the Evangelicals always use for their 'prayer warfare' stuff.
For Spong, Paul's Thorn is his homosexuality. And what Christ means to Paul is that he finally has found what he has always wanted, that God accepts us as we are.
But remember, Paul was originally a persecutor. And then even after, he still does not really seem to get it, not truly a universalist, not by a long shot.

Books not in libraries
SJG
by John Shelby Spong (2000)
This is a brilliant book. He goes very far, completely rejecting Theism.
But he does not go far enough, as he is still trumpeting Chistianist identification.
So let me look here at his other books:
I had read the previous book, when it came out in 1999
Why Christianity must change or die : a bishop speaks to believers in exile : a new reformation of the Church's faith and practice / John Shelby Spong.
But the one I have now goes much much further, and he has a lot of books since.
Consider
Jesus for the non-religious : recovering the divine at the heart of the human / John Shelby Spong. (2007)

How to be a Christian in the 21st Century
Marcus J. Borg (2017)
SJG
Trying to limit how many more of these books I need to read. I want to master the material for political purposes. But truth is I really do not agree with it. I want to be reading esoteric and occult books.
The above with the three I am working on now, might finally be enough.
SJG
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/006245…
Marcus Borg says lots of interesting things, but still at core I do not agree with him and find him tedious. Mostly all he is doing is apologizing for the worst of Christianity, and he is still teaching people to say on queue, "I am a Christian".
This book was assembled posthumously, I think mostly by his wife. She is a cannon at the Episcopalian Trinity Cathedral, Portland. And they had made him a theological cannon.
He says he grew up in a small town in North Dakota, where everyone identified as being a Christian. He seems to want to preserve that.
What the hell for? I just encourages the worst, the Evangelical Movement.
Make no mistake, I do not like spending my time reading such books.
But I need to master the material for political purposes. How many more such books? Not sure.
The Episcopalians have indeed created their own version of the I AM A CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT.

Quotes at length a mystical experience of Jonathan Edwards

Quotes Origen, effectively inverting Jacob's Ladder, saying it all originates from above.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origen
Apparently, they sent Smith a copy of Borg's "Heart of Christianity" and asked him if he would endorse it. Smith read some of it and then called them back. He explained that he would not endorse it, and that he would write a rebuttal.
Well, it took almost 10 years, but the rebuttal is really good. I also felt that Borg's Heart of Christianity was stupid.
See, Borg and Spong, they are people responsible for collection totals. Spong was an Episcopalian Bishop. Borg is married to a Cannon at the Episcopalian Trinty Cathedral in Portland. Then he was installed as a Theological Cannon. All they care about is Christian Identification because that is what keeps the money coming in.
In Huston Smith I see none of this. Not clear that he even goes to any church.
Short book, but very challenging reading.

President Trump Threatens Political Opponents with Violence
President Trump appeared to threaten his political opponents with violence in an interview published Thursday by the far-right website Breitbart. Trump accused his opponents on the left of “playing tough” but said his supporters are tougher, telling Breitbart, “I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump—I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough—until they go to a certain point and then it would be very bad, very bad.”

Soul of Christianity
Remarkable book by a remarkable man. But still not really getting to what I want.
He outlines three branches of Christianity.
1. Roman Catholic
2. Eastern Orthodox
3. Protestantism
He sees number 2 as being kind of in the middle.
Maybe he means in terms of the authority structure it is in the middle.
Most people tend to see number 1 as in the middle. That is, before 1054 they were all the same. But then East and West separated. In the West they adopted the ideas of Thomas Aquinas, largely based on Aristotle. That then made the church compatible with Science. So as people say, the Western Church was half Protestantized.
When he talks about the Protestants, he talks about Justification by Faith. This is how you end up today with the "I Am A Christian" movement.
This is what we must oppose. It actually is heresy and blasphemy.
I know that the real opposition to it will be found in the Existential Theologians, like Paul Tillich. Though I do not know if they phrase it this way.
Lots of Episcopalians claim inspiration from Tillich, but then their church has invented its own branded version of the I AM A CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT, teaching people to say it in the church building, but to practice a Jewish Style Quietism outside.
The UU's reject the movement. But this does not mean that they advance a counter argument.
F. Forrester Church was a UU leader, so maybe his book showcasing Tillich's writings will show me what I want. Then there are other existential theologians

And the father was US Senator from Idaho, and led the Church Committee, in the wake of Watergate, giving us most of what we now know about the intelligence community and the CIA.

Frank Forrest Church III
And the father was US Senator from Idaho, and led the Church Committee, in the wake of Watergate, giving us most of what we now know about the intelligence community and the CIA.
Frank Forrester Church III (July 25, 1924 – April 7, 1984) was an American lawyer and politician. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as a United States Senator from Idaho from 1957 to 1981. He is known for heading the Church Committee, which investigated abuses within the United States Intelligence Community.
Elected to Senate in Nov 1956.
Sought Democratic Nomination in 1976, but withdrew in favor of Jimmy Carter.
Church narrowly lost his re-election bid to a Republican in 1980.
Church passed away in 1984. Age 59. Died of a pancreatic cancer. But he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer back in his 20's, after he had just gotten married.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Chur…
Frank Forrest Church IV
Remember that the son was Pastor of All Souls UU, NYC.
Frank Forrester Church IV (September 23, 1948 – September 24, 2009) was a leading Unitarian Universalist minister, author, and theologian. He was Senior Minister of the Unitarian Church of All Souls in New York City, until late 2006 when he was appointed as Minister of Public Theology.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forrest_Ch…
Born in Palo Alto when father was student in Stanford Law School.
Church was a graduate of Stanford University and Harvard Divinity School. He received a Ph.D. in early church history from Harvard University in 1978.
On February 4, 2008, Church sent a letter to the members of his congregation informing them that he had terminal cancer. He told them of his intention, which he successfully realized, to sum up his thoughts on the topics that had been pervasive in his work in a final book, entitled Love & Death.
Church died of esophageal cancer in New York City on September 24, 2009, a day after his 61st birthday.[4] He is buried in Morris Hill Cemetery in Boise.

But this was at Stanford, and they had just started doing radiation work. So everyday they burned Frank Church with radiation. It made him nauseous each night. They would say that just that daily radiation cut 10 to 15 years from his life.
But it worked, he lived another 34 years, 24 of which was spend in the US Senate.
When this cancer was detected, F. F. Church IV was just one year old.
Says parents owned a baby blue Desoto convertible, which had a lighted nude for a hood ornament.
Maybe like this:
http://www.pontiaclady.com/ebay/dec14/MV…
Drove car all through Mexico, but then in Boston it was stolen. This made III's wife insist that they leave Harvard and go back West to Stanford.
IV went to Stanford, late 60's. Got involved in student politics, ended up begin campaign manager for woman candidate who was topless dancer, who would campaign by taking off her clothes to music.
F. F. Church IV is a really interesting guy, which is why I am reading this.

But F. F. Church III still felt that 1956 could be a democratic year.
One who had held the office was Glen Taylor. He would later come to CA and found a men's hair piece company, Taylor Topper. I have met members of that large family.
When they went to Washington, they owned a Kaiser. Not sure which model.

At its core is Richard N. Bolles’s famed Flower Exercise, a unique self-inventory that helps you design your career—and your life—around your key passions, transferable skills, traits, and more.
I have recommended this book to EVERYONE, and for decades. But I have to concede that with most people it seems to go over their heads.
Most of the vitriol against him was driven by the John Birch Society. They handed out formulaic pamphlets throughout the state. Even his Republican opposition would usually distance themselves from the Birch Society, as their stuff was such bullshit.
And we know how much cross over there has been from the Birch Society to the Christian Right.
At the Harvard Divinity school, Forrester Church studied under George Huntston Williams. This fit with Church's interest in Unitarianism and in Thomas Jefferson.
Also, George Williams was one who showed that in making the Soviet Union our enemy, how much were were becoming more and more like them.
Frank Church led a special subcommittee. Usually the majority party led the committees. But this was something so important that it needed bipartisan leadership. At that time the POTUS was ruling though 420 different emergency declarations. They would be declared, but they never expired.
Nixon was using some of these to conduct his war in Vietnam.
So they researched all of this and wrote a bill to terminate it. Gerald Ford signed it, but he did it discretely, in the Oval Office, not the Capital Signing Room.
Church went after corporate corruption, the multi-national. It was prevalent.
ITT offering the CIA millions of dollars to stop Salvador Allende, dully elected President of Chile, from assuming his office.
Exxon, 27 million dollars to Italy. Gulf Oil, money to Saudi Arabia, then United Fruit, and of course Lockheed.
Church exposed it all and did what he could to stop it.
Like cleaning up a pre-trump mess.
And then dealing with the Intelligence Community, attempts on Castro, and then Lumumba.
SJG
As an elementary school child, Forrest Church attended schools in both Idaho an DC. It was at this latter that he was in class with both Julie and Tricia Nixon.
It was in late November 1963, that one of these schools had been converted to a UU Church. First time Forrest Church attended a UU church. It was to listen to his father Senator Frank Church, deliver a eulogy for President John F. Kennedy.
Frank Church was not a minister, like so many in his family, he was a lawyer, specializing in International Law.
Frank Church had had a radical surgery in his abdominal and groin area, removing glands and one of his testicles because of cancer.
They still gave him only 3 months to live.
But as this was Stanford, they were doing new work in radiation treatment. They gave Church 3 months of daily radiation treatments. This left him not impotent, but sterile.
He did get though it and it kept the cancer at bey for 35 years.
In 1980 he was voted out of the Senate by a narrow margin.
Then the cancer did come back, and he only lived until 1984.
Forrest Church has written many books, and he was national leader of the UU denomination.
He did come down with esophageal cancer. He recieved many type of treatment and held out, serving as Pastor, for as long as he could. Died in Sept 2009, just after his 61st birthday.

Amounted to nothing, but it did derail SaltII treaty.
Here, in Forrest Church's book, page 4:
"As both psychiatrists and theologians have pointed out, the story of the fall and many other stories from the biblical tradition are stories of generational conflict, stories of filial impiety, stories of a parent's blessing being bestowed or withheld or taken away."
SJG
But it did embarrass Frank Church and Jimmy Carter. Some observers have said that the CIA was working to destabilize Carter.
Frank Church worked for a NY International Law Firm, thus getting 4x what he had ever gotten in the Senate.
His cancer returned, again starting in the pancreas. But it had spread to his liver and was deemed inoperable and terminal.
Ted Kennedy and George McGovern visited, as did Alan Simpson of Wyoming.

san_jose_guy - Commonly referred to as SJG this forum member may have some sort of mental illness and is usually mocked or ignored. SJG has a long history of posting incendiary comments including being pro-rape. His comments should NOT be taken in any way as legitimate.
Almost nothing about Forrest's experiences with girls. It mentions about him having a date with the one he would marry, Amy. Says that there were some contacts with others which could have screwed up their date. But says that Amy did consent to a second date.
The way he says this it make you think that he had had many one date only situations.
But we really don't know. Only guessing, cause the book tells us nothing.
Zero mention of any Elliot Rodger Incel type stuff. Never laments that girls did not seem to like him, or that they liked other boys more. Says nothing of anything like this. Forrest does not seem to think like this.
No mention of physical intimacies outside of marriage. Just a complete blank. And this was late 60's to early 70's.
Zero mention of any conflicts with this Amy, before marriage, or after.
No mention of drugs, only the very most minor mentions of alcohol.
Seemingly zero conflicts. No coming of age issues about anything.
Graduated from Stanford, then to Harvard Divinity School, then to Pastorship at All Souls UU Manhattan.
Don't know what to make of this vacuum, issues did not exist, deemed unimportant?
SJG
He is believing that just as things go, at some point in time, some age, girls will open up to him, and things will happen.
And you can feel his pain in seeing that this is not happening. He does not understand why, and so he listens to misogynistic sources.
There in nothing of this, zero, in the writing of F. Forrester Church. Even though it is more about his father, Forrester still does say a great deal about himself.
Nothing at all like Elliot Rodger.

Self publishing, as I see it, works best with special market books, certain types of utility books, and things where you want to make annual updates. Books that are more manuals, than straight fiction v non-fiction.
Could be good if you are running a larger organization where your publishing arm is also your house organ, and maybe where you want to bring out a series.
Some fields deal more with old books than others. Esoteric-Occut seems to be all old books. Some of the publishers, like Samuel Weiser have been mostly about republishing old titles.
Most Esoteric-Occult people have huge collections of really old books.
So makes sense to have your own publishing arm, as the dynamics are completely different from the mainstream.
Thoughts???
I can give examples of all that I have said.

Well in my view, Asians are like this, unless they are influenced by Western ideas. And the most common of these Western ideas are Christianity and Marxism. If they have these influences, they cannot be broken.

The Politics of Bitcoin: Software as Right-Wing Extremism
David Golumbia
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M22…
From the book's back cover:
Since its introduction in 2009, Bitcoin has been widely promoted as a digital currency that will revolutionize everything from online commerce to the nation-state. Yet supporters of Bitcoin and its blockchain technology subscribe to a form of cyberlibertarianism that depends to a surprising extent on far-right political thought. The "Politics of Bitcoin" exposes how much of the economic and political thought on which this cryptocurrency is based emerges from ideas that travel the gamut, from Milton Friedman, F. A. Hayek, and Ludwig von Mises to Federal Reserve conspiracy theorists.

^^^^^ Books like the above are usually stupid. But sometimes one still does need to skim through them just to immunize yourself from the way they will play out in popular culture.

Jack Kerouac was staying with Neil Cassady in San Jose. He stole the book from the public library and he took it with him all over the US, and it became the basis of many of his books.

"
Spanning the years from World War II, when he was a civilian statistician in the operations research section of the Royal Air Force Bomber Command, through his studies with Hans Bethe at Cornell University, his early friendship with Richard Feynman, and his postgraduate work with J. Robert Oppenheimer, Freeman Dyson has composed an autobiography unlike any other. Dyson evocatively conveys the thrill of a deep engagement with the world-be it as scientist, citizen, student, or parent. Detailing a unique career not limited to his groundbreaking work in physics, Dyson discusses his interest in minimizing loss of life in war, in disarmament, and even in thought experiments on the expansion of our frontiers into the galaxies.
