"I write upmarket literary fiction w/ a dark and sardonic edge for readers who crave escapism & a little schadenfreude" here is the number to get in touch with the fbi that is how much i want to be left alone and i mean it when i say: no dms 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324)
hey, sewing in silence for some time, and i need to get this off my chest, the only part of my day today that i strenuously regret, is reading some bullshit from 1546 sorry, im so fucking mad about it. yes, rent free. culturally, i profoundly hate the english. i deeply truly honestly do not find the 'wit' or the 'humour' in their shit i hate elizabethan plays fuck shakespeare sure, could someone say: well how can you say that when you havent spent a decade reading this shit in depth and i will tell you, to do so would be a death sentence i cant take it im sorry, im really not into anti-literacy of any kind, but at the same time, i just dont see enough people around saying elizabethan plays are so awful, the rhyme shit is so tedious and stupid, the cadence is so fucked, that it is truly a threat to one's health and sanity and sense of wellbeing it is abusive to the english language it is offensive to the musicality of words
29.5.2025 title: PCC Forum: Brian Swimme & Tom Purton - Consumerism and the Cosmos channel: PCC: Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness description: Recorded on April 8, 2021 In front of our televisions and our computer screens, we are exposed to over a million advertisements per year. The edicts of consumerism form our children's first cosmology, and its logic permeates every aspect of our lives. Yet out of the window, a cosmos of extraordinary power and beauty awaits to be discovered and enjoyed, its logic not one of money but of relationship and story. At the twenty-fifth anniversary of Brian's The Hidden Heart of the Cosmos we will look at some of the forces at work behind consumerism, particularly the core discoveries of Freud and Marx, before exploring some of the myriad ways in which our cosmos can re-enchant us. Brian Thomas Swimme is the longest serving professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies. The great achievement of his life was spending a year with a sage in New York City; and, just as in the myth, he returned with a thimble of water from the monumental cascade of wisdom that is Thomas Berry. He is eternally grateful to Rick Tarnas and Robert McDermott for creating the thrilling adventure that is PCC. Tom Purton holds a MAin Psychoanalysis, a language diploma in Sanskrit and a PhD in Philosophy, Cosmology and Consciousness from CIS, writing his dissertation on the connections between Stanislav Grof's work and Hindu thought. He is presently studying in the East-West Psychology program at CIS. i remember tuning into this years ago, pleased to see it reuploaded and to have the chance to spend time here again
