Extraordinary Discourse 040 Special: The World Owes You A Living 3





Workplace And Men
Men And War
Families, Roles
Pictures of Rich and Poor

Today's Extraordinary Discourse Special is Episode 3 of The World Owes You A Living
suite, a 6-part Millennial Associational Documentary.

A good look behind the mask of the job system and its supporting institutions and memes.
Where do we go, men, from a war to a matrix of desks/suit jackets /coldwar defense contracts. Whence domestic violence, "managers"? Powerlessness. Child sexual abuse? Powerless predators. Soul unity, camaraderie of WWII grunts broken into the centrifugal entropia of consumer items for the wife and kids and TV and alcohol til death.

Dr. William Temple, 98th Archbishop of Canterbury: "I am inclined to agree with the Biblical saying that work is a curse."

Dedicated to the #Occupy movements around the planet.

    really enjoyed this "mash-up" collection. At first, I wanted to know who says what only to later realise that it might just take away from the ineffable quality of these mixes.

    Glad I stumbled across this sacred collection.

    This is great stuff, I discovered TWOYAL a couple yrs ago and have shared it with my friends and groups. How familiar are you with Henry George's ideas? More than a couple of the folks in your presentation were Georgists.

    Thank you for the affirmation. I have come across references to George in researching material, but haven't looked into his theories. I went to Wikipedia just now for an overview. I'd like to know who were the Georgists in my series.

    Your blog looks interesting, I'll be over to check it out.

    best wishes,

    Jack

This’ll Dig Ya In The Intellectual Ribs       The real underlying currency of our world is not gold, nor bureaucratic fiat, nor even military might. The real underlying currency of our world is narrative, and the ability to control it. Everything always comes down to this one real currency. If you look at what all these think tanks, NGOs, media outlets and grant making networks that billionaires pour their money into actually do, it ultimately boils down to controlling the dominant stories that people tell about what’s going on in their world.

We Could Play Today! Deconstructing work, school, development-- and much more! We assumed that nothing would be published from the very beginning. So the private world of my friends became the center of our artistic activities, rather than the public world of publishing, media, universities and literature. Allen Ginsberg SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In 1878, Thomas Edison perfected the phonograph, a machine that could record sounds and play them back. There had been some primitive prototypes before, but his version was a major improvement. And what were the first sounds to be immortalized on Edison's phonograph? The rush of the wind in the trees? A dramatic reading of the Song of Songs? The cries of a newborn infant? Nope. Edison recited the nursery rhyme, "Mary Had a Little Lamb." When you make your own breakthrough in communication sometime soon, Scorpio, I hope you deliver a more profound and succulent message. Rob Brezsny, Free Will Astrology the poem...

Glimpses And Highlights Meet On A Train     There are many, many nouns for the act of looking - a glance, a glimpse, a peep - but there's no noun for the act of listening. In general, we don't think primarily about sound. So I have a different perspective on the world; I can construct soundscapes that have an effect on people, but they don't know why. It's a sort of subterfuge. Walter Murch
