Questions for a Sunday two weeks before the election

 Why does CNN have links to Saturday Night Live skits on its front "page"?  That's the best we can do? The media lives to perpetuate itself.

More to come. 

I just wrote a rant and mistakenly erase it, or didn't save it correctly. It compared Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac, which I taught this morning, to the supposed need for abortion at all stages of pregnancy for any reason. In Abraham's time child sacrifice was common to appease pagan gods. Today is it done to appease the god of self, prosperity, career, and convenience, so that women can have the freedom to have the same irresponsible sexual freedom (they believe) men have (and some do). Some abortion protections are needed, and those can be debated. But one party, and maybe the second, believes any protections for the unborn are the end of democracy and civil rights.  

I also wrote how it strikes me that anti-Trumpers who used to be Republicans can come off very pompous and self-righteous in their Facebook posts, riling their "friends" who are Trump voters in order to .... what? Appear open-minded and smarter?  It's not their position, it's their expression of their position. The medium is the message (the medium being cutesy Facebook memes). 

I am not a Trump fan, never was, but January 6 sealed the deal, and even less since he has changed his mind on pro-life issues to "broaden his electorate," yet he can't act like a decent human in his rhetoric to do the same.  

We live in an extremist, black-white, either-or culture wrapped around personalities, one that represents incompetence and the other lack of character. And we are supposed to choose? Fortunately we don't have to, if we aren't worried about winning.

January 26, 2025: Joseph Campbell's view of things

  A colleague sent me this quote the other day. He said that it had really helped him through life and as he faced changes and retirement, and it also helped him follow his bliss and find what he really wanted to do.  “The problem in middle life, when the body has reached its climax of power and begins to decline, is to identify yourself, not with the body, which is falling away, but with the consciousness of which it is a vehicle. This is something I learned from myths. What am I? Am I the bulb that carries the light? Or am I the light of which the bulb is a vehicle? One of the psychological problems in growing old is the fear of death. People resist the door of death. But this body is a vehicle of consciousness, and if you can identify with the consciousness, you can watch this body go like an old car. There goes the fender, there goes the tire, one thing after another— but it’s predictable. And then, gradually, the whole thing drops off, and consciousness rejoins consciousn...

Why to Read Fiction, Idea #27: Empathy, anyone?

The Idea #27 is tongue in cheek.  But these are some ideas about writing fiction, which I have done in ten novels (and counting), a dozen short stories, and two produced plays (I know, not exactly the same).  Background: In 2015 a colleague and I wrote an open educational resource public speaking textbook for a grant provided by our University System. We didn't realize at the time that it would go viral and be used all over the world within a few years. There are two reasons for that: it is good (as good as anything on the market) and it is free, although only in digital form. Check out www.exploringpublicspeaking.com for it. We also didn't know at the time that my co-author would die at 39 in 2016. I still miss him. Back to the point, I receive requests for the test banks every other day, and this morning I received one from Pennsylvania. The writer had a signature line: "Reading fiction is important. It is a vital means of imagining a life other than our own, which in t...

Starting Over

We are ridiculously dependent on information technology.  I found that out two weeks ago when my MAC of ten years went inoperative. "Crashed." "Died."  Fortunately, some smart technicians were able to salvage my files; I should call them my life, my work, my creativity.  But I did lose my passwords. Specifically, I lost the password to my two blogs, which I have not posted to since the crash.   My first blog, partsofspeaking.blogspot.com had been in operation since 2006. It had almost 3000 posts on it.  Fortunately, I can still get to them. The whole world can. The fact that I can't get into edit or post it any longer means I also can't take it down. It is going to be there as long as Google Blogger will be. If anything there would get me in trouble, well, I'll have to live with that.  The second one, highereducationobserver.blogspot.com, is where I wrote about my professional expertise as a department chair. It reflected more research. In both blogs, ...
