I have mostly people from the right wing telling me to change country, nothing so amusing.<br />Maybe it is also because I'm in such abstruse thoughts.<br />In the end I think is exactly what I meant for dissipation. Internet has changed a lot of things in cultural terms mostly for the option people has to be part of the "marvelous variety" and, if needed, trow in resources in the try, even without success. After all the evolution of blogs from forums and before bbs came from the continuous tension between ranters and reasoners.<br />And that's why cutting is very dangerous for our culture. At the end is the idea to invest only in successful ones endangers the variety, more when some reveal themselves not so successful.Mauro Thon Giudicihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596131985430080494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-26029073978319565662009-04-21T19:36:00.000+01:002009-04-21T19:36:00.000+01:00Do you get these people, too, Mauro?

I don't mind rants, even actionable rants, but I do mind receiving essay-length comments ...<br /><br />In British universities this is the 2nd or 3rd round of cuts we've gone through. I came to my job as primarily a language specialist, and the university immediately abolished Russian, Classics and (whisper it) Italian. Oh, and Philosophy. <br /><br />I'm working up a Swiftian satire (I wish) on how to combine the urge to (a) abolish the Humanities altogether, but (b) continue to rake in the cash from popular subjects.

I was expecting and end as Nostradamus says the world will crumble in few years or the Atzec Calendar is running out :-D. There is nothing better than a cosmic rant. see <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoqMp8fucWw" REL="nofollow">here</A>BTW on the serious question. The State University in Milan, dep. of Philosohy, decided, a few years ago, that the courses which did not have a large number of followers where to be shut down this obviously lent to the decline of the more challenging disciplines as Formal Logic and Philosophy of Sciences and Linguistics.<br />Unfortunately research and cultural development requires, and has required, vast amounts of dissipation of resources. This is the way in which evolution works. The side you are depicting will only reduce the variety of the environment.Mauro Thon Giudicihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596131985430080494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-66100051311767700572009-04-21T17:37:00.000+01:002009-04-21T17:37:00.000+01:00Dear Anonymous, thanks for taking the trouble to c...Dear Anonymous, thanks for taking the trouble to comment -- however, I've edited off about 90% of what you wrote, though, as (a) I have limited space and (b) I'm not a soapbox for random speeches.Mike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-22496340100923591632009-04-21T17:33:00.000+01:002009-04-21T17:33:00.000+01:00The vast majority of website operators don't have ...The vast majority of website operators don't have the guts to allow this post, anything like it, any searchable lines, or links. They have been deleted more than 90% of the time. The vast majority of syndicated talk radio hosts are screening their calls and won't allow this topic. The vast majority of callers don't have a clue. We are in big trouble. The truth is so Earth shattering, that no public figure has the guts to acknowledge it. Very few have the guts to allow a statement anything like this in their forum. The truth is being suppressed. We are in much more serious trouble than we have been told by any public figure. Don't be fooled by fluctuating economic indicators or short term market stability. The entire foundation of our economy is crumbling. Get ready people. Get your affairs in order. Get your households in order. Get your communities in order. Be prepared. This is no 'correction'. This is no ordinary recession. This won't be just another Great Depression. This will be much worse. Save this post now before it gets deleted.<br /><br />Sometimes, I wonder why I bother fighting so hard for the little guy. Whats the point if they are too stupid to listen? Say that reminds me.<br /><br />Amazing. The worst economic and cultural crisis of all time will go down in history horribly misunderstood. What a pathetic bunch of ignorant fools we have become. Consumer junkie credit card morons. Perfect little victims.<br /><br />Don’t believe one optimistic word from any public figure about the economy or humanity in general. They are part of the problem. Its like a game of Monopoly. In America, the richest 1%, now hold ALMOST 1/2 OF ALL UNITED STATES WEALTH. Unlike ‘lesser’ estimates, this includes all stocks, bonds, cash, offshore accounts, and material assets held by America’s richest 1%.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
