Our house is on fire. Join the resistance: Do no harm/take no shit. My idiosyncratic and confluent bricolage of progressive politics, the collaborative commons, next generation cognitive neuroscience, American pragmatism, de/reconstruction, dynamic systems, embodied realism, postmetaphysics, psychodynamics, aesthetics. It ain't much but it's not nothing.

Ben Stein is a fucking idiot
Good thing I don't subscribe to that absurd notion that we need to be nice with those we disagree, as if that solves our problems. You can't be nice to idiocy that reinforces racism and blatant murder. There is no compromise with that. And so it is with Stein's comments on Michael Brown in this article. Even though Brown was unarmed with his hands up, Stein thinks he was armed because he was big, black and scary while stoned on pot. Then he compares an honest investigation and grand jury into the shooting as a lynching of the police shooter. As opposed to real lynchings of black folks where there was no legal recourse, just racism and hatred. The very sort that leads white cops to think unarmed black teens are in themselves dangerous weapons just because. Stein is a fucking idiot on this.
