" I was a "smart" kid; praised by my teachers, loathed by all but a handful of my geekiest peers. I have a very low tolerence for idiots and drunks. I read a lot. I wish that human beings would fucking evolve more quickly. I like to make things with my hands. I'm an excellent cook. I have misanthropic tendencies, so if I'm "rude" to you, it's probably because I haven't had an hour to myself in weeks. I've been singing since I could talk, and I've been with my band, the Asylum Street Spankers for 13 years, and travel extensively throughout the U.S. and abroad spreading the Spanker Gospel."

Thursday, April 24, 2008: Ishmael (book)

Quote :

"Before proceeding Ishmael lays some ground definitions for his student. He defines: * Takers as people often referred to as "civilized." Particularly, the culture born in an Agricultural Revolution that began about 10,000 years ago in the Near East; the culture of Ishmael's pupil. * Leavers as people of all other cultures; sometimes referred to as "primitive." * A story as an interrelation between the gods, man, and the Earth, with a beginning, middle, and end. * To enact is to strive to make a story come true. * A culture as a people who are enacting a story. Ishmael proceeds to tease from his pupil the premises of the story being enacted by the Takers: that they are the pinnacle of evolution (or creation), that the world was made for man, and that man is here to conquer and rule the world. This rule is meant to bring about a paradise, as man increases his mastery of the world, however, he is always failing because he is flawed. Man doesn't know how to live and never will because that knowledge is unobtainable. So, however hard he labors to save the world, he is just going to go on defiling and spoiling it. Ishmael points out to his student that when the Takers decided there is something fundamentally wrong with humans, they took as evidence only their own culture's history- "They were looking at a half of one-percent of the evidence taken from a single culture-- Not a reasonable sample on which to base such a sweeping conclusion.""
