Thought 360: The Question Concerning Authority
What is authority?
The privilege of being
heeded by others.
Legitimate authority is based on consent,
i.e. those in authority are heeded because
they have earnt the privilege through
the loving testimony of
deed and example.
Illegitimate authority is based on coercion,
i.e. those in authority are heeded because
they have earnt the privilege through
the fearful force of deceit
and violence.

Thought 356: Apathy and The Thing
What if the motion picture The Thing,
directed by John Boorman, was yet
another instance of the creative
coming to terms with the
disease of apathy?
(see Thought 639)
Addendum: The Thing and E.T.
were both released
the same year in 1982,
a mere hundred and
four days apart.
Talk about polarity.

Thought 345: Saving the World
We live in purgatory;
that's why everything

counter-intuitive,
paradoxical, and
tragicomic.
