The long story shorter

“Really man” I say to Uncle Toby scowling a storm “I can’t get out of these

Leave Epstein, He Who Did Every Evil, our Pharmakos, behind as a pimple on Clinton’s inner sanctum where his life resides and be done with it. Our non-existent polity is not in collapse but is a a continuous sequence in which adjacent elements are not perceptibly different from each other, although the extremes are quite distinct: "at the fast end of the fast-slow continuum" of COLLAPSE.

History appears in an indistinguishable maze of meaningless events, as certain moments stand out fraught with profound and lasting significance. These moments, capable of being linked with each other, can be characterized as irruptions of the transcendence into man’s existence, the impact of the eternal on time. In this sense Voegelin remarks that only a people under God have history. This paradoxical concept of transcendence operating immanently within man’s history, the idea that man freely makes history and then history in turn makes man, is quite similar to Vico’s paradoxical concept of Providence which is both transcendent and immanent at the same time. What remains important is that man does not conceive these cycles in a deterministic mode and that he remains able to return imaginatively and even rationally to preceding cycles where the origin of his humanity lies. In Vico is the first complete theory of "provident misfortune" which will be the inspiring thread of his work; misfortunes sometimes reveal themselves as fortunes or opportunities, there is a superior plan that guides events beyond individual, human wills...

Due to his young age, he was sometimes seen as a possible successor of dictator) in perfect Augustinian language, “either one poses the origin of evil in the very will of man, or one poses it in the injustice… of a social structure, which when removed evil will also be removed. The first argument entails a more precise distinction of religion from politics; in the second thesis, politics replaces religion in the fight against evil. Each man may opt for one or the other, but it is not permitted to mix them together.

Identity politics is not a new flower. Nor a new drink.

Only Bob Dylan going electric was new in the world. Oops wrong timeline. IT was Jimi! Everyone knows that of course, the real story of a legendary New York blues artist on the harmonica who went electric in 1961 and who dated Marilyn Monroe in secret on Fire Island. Murdered in 1963 by a mob hitman while he was on tour in Paris. Terrible grisly end really and quite bloody but nobody cared. His agent handled the life end affairs and left the business. Police black and whites have the blood scrawl French Connection and the n of course quite messy going down the wall, then the hotel burned down in the heart of the Opera district just after the pictures.
