Just sitting outside the physical science building, pulling on the grass, hearing the sounds of the city and commerce while taking in your lecture is exactly what many of us need. So many have tried to crack the code of existence and what civilization is all about: Kant, Hegel, Camus, Fuller, Freud etc, and no one ( it seems) has worked out what we should be doing.<br /><br /> I've kept copies from that 3000 level American Lit class years back-of this address by Wm Faulkner to the UNESCO in 1959: Most love to read his words and the usual response is "ain't that the truth."<br />I'll put one in your pigeon hole. <br /><br />"Mr. Khrushchev says that Communism, the police state, will bury the free ones. He is a smart gentleman, he knows that this is nonsense since freedom, man's dim concept of and belief in the human spirit is the cause of all his troubles in his own country. But if he means that Communism will bury capitalism, he is correct. That funeral will occur about ten minutes after the police bury gambling. Because simple man, the human race, will bury both of them. That will be when we have expended the last grain, dram, and iota of our natural resources. But man himself will not be in that grave. The last sound on the worthless earth will be two human beings trying to launch a homemade spaceship and already quarrelling about where they are going next." mark hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10363775941512045745noreply@blogger.com
