In my previous post, I tried to explore some of the problems of non-violence, namely the difficulty of dealing with a collective that is willing to harm you and is not concerned with your moral arguments why what they are doing is a bad thing. [stderr] At what point do you treat all of the individuals that make up your attackers’ forces (or even the attackers’ civilians) as targets?
Contrary to my high school opinion, not all politicians are bad. Some actually appear to have decided that what they want to do in life is serve the public.
This is a spoiler-free review(tm) of a game Anna and I have been playing. Our together game-play process looks a lot like her holding the controller and doing all the things while I mutter helpful and sometimes not contradictory advice, or cheer, or commiserate.
I have really been going to town on the Tides of History podcast. Wow, it’s interesting.
I have added this one to my Recommended Reading List [stderr] – it’s been what’s been occupying my head for the last week, as I’ve been listening to the audiobook on scramble/repeat just because I was so captivated by the material.
I recently listened to the audiobook version of a series of lectures and Q&A with Noam Chomsky. If you have problems with being depressed into immobility by world politics and economics, I don’t recommend it. This is a sort-of review of the audiobook, with some comments by me and some quotes, and I plan to, over time, post a few passages from it.
Robert Paul Wolff is one of my favorite writers. I came across his work completely by accident: dad was getting rid of a few dozen boxes of books (“the overflow”) and one of the boxes contained a slim volume entitled In Defense of Anarchism. I did a brief 3-post series on it [stderr] because I think it’s an important work in its field – he deploys some of the basic arguments for anarchism in a way that is very hard to argue with. [wc]
A few years ago I became a fanatical convert to full cast audiobooks. That’s where the book is presented more like a radio drama than just someone reading aloud.
Lately I have been playing Subnautica 2.
