Assert Good @lemm.ee RoundSparrow @ .ee @lemm.ee Assert Good, Day 40. Background education assertion on War Against Reality, War Against Sincere Truth. "La Guerre du Golfe n'a pas eu lieu"
"The unformulated message of an assembly of news items from every quarter of the globe is that the world today is one city. All war is civil war.

Assert Good @lemm.ee RoundSparrow @ .ee @lemm.ee LockedAssert Good, Day 39. Information without control. Infinite Jest, Infinite Donald Trump. Information without Meaning.
Infinite Jest
Infinite Donald Trump
“a peek-a-boo world, where now this event, now that, pops into view for a moment, then vanishes again. It is an improbable world. It is a world in which the idea of human progress, as Bacon expressed it, has been replaced by the idea of technological progress. The aim is not to reduce ignorance, superstition, and suffering but to accommodate ourselves to the requirements of new technologies. We tell ourselves, of course, that such accommodations will lead to a better life, but that is only the rhetorical residue of a vanishing technocracy. We are a culture consuming itself with information, and many of us do not even wonder how to control the process. We proceed under the assumption that information is our friend, believing that cultures may suffer grievously from a lack of information, which, of course, they do. It is only now beginning to be understood that cultures may also **suffer grievously from information glut, information without mea

To truly honor Dr. Martin Luther King we must fight to carry out his radical and bold vision for America. Dr. King saw not only the need to end racism and segregation but to create an economy that works for all Americans. That was his courage.

Assert Good @lemm.ee RoundSparrow @ .ee @lemm.ee LockedAssert Good, Day 35. Quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr - please use social media to teach remedial morality to USA. Please teach what people did not learn.
February 28, 1954
A decade after the worst of Hitler Germany was discovered.
"Most people can't stand up for their convictions, because the majority of people might not be doing it. See, everybody's not doing it, so it must be wrong. And since everybody is doing it, it must be right. So a sort of numerical interpretation of what's right. But I'm here to say to you this morning that some things are right and some things are wrong. Eternally so, absolutely so. It's wrong to hate. It always has been wrong and it always will be wrong. It's wrong in America, it's wrong in Germany, it's wrong in Russia, it's wrong in China. It was wrong in 2000 B.C., and it's wrong in 1954 A.D. It always has been wrong, and it always will be wrong. It's wrong to throw our lives away in riotous living. No matter if everybody in Detroit is doing it, it's wrong. It always will be wrong, and it always has been wrong. It's wrong in every age and it's wrong in every nation. Some things are right and some things

Assert Good @lemm.ee RoundSparrow @ .ee @lemm.ee Assert Good, Day 36. Please teach remedial morality to USA, please teach to Americans what they have not learned or understood. Quotes from Malala Yousafzai
"The world can no longer accept, the world can no longer accept that basic education is enough. Why do leaders accept that for children in developing countries, only basic literacy is sufficient, when their own children do homework in Algebra, Mathematics, Science and Physics?"

It is important for everyone to grasp and comprehend the inner drives and behavior choices of President Donald J. Trump

"Worm before God and giant among men, he is a living, aching arena of cosmic dissonance, tortured by all the cuts and thrusts of guilt and conscience."
"A very specific ramification of the Guilt motif crops out constantly in the old-man, young-girl situations sprinkled throughout the book. In the Swift-Vanessa, Mark-and-Iseult episodes, graybeards are passionately fired with a half-incestuous, half-lyrical yearning for young love. Earwicker him- self is troubled by a passion, compounded of illicit and aspirational desires, for his own daughter, Isabel, whom he identifies with Tristram’s Iseult, and who is the sweet little reincarnation of his wife. Himself he envisions now as gallant Tristram and now as cuckolded King Mark."

Assert Good @lemm.ee RoundSparrow @ .ee @lemm.ee Assert Good, Day 27. "Our politics are unhinged. He saw it coming 40 years ago." by Jim Beckerman, NorthJersey.com - "Who got it right?" - March 30, 2024
www.yahoo.com Our politics are unhinged. He saw it coming 40 years ago.Forty years before social media, before 'information silos,' before Trump, media critic Neil Postman predicted it all.

Who got it right?
"It" being: everything. Our current mess. The low information, disinformation, gullibility and hysteria that are breaking out like measles during Election 2024. Who was the prophet — if only we had listened! — who warned us it was all coming? And begged us to do something before it was too late?
