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.

Our own EPA is poisoning us for profit
Here's Robert Reich on this article. The Environmental (and Human) Destruction Agency is easing restrictions on toxic chemicals. For example: "Perfluorooctanoic acid, an industrial chemical linked to kidney cancer, birth defects, and immune system disorders; Chlorpyrifos, a commercial pesticide that can cause developmental disabilities in children; Methylene chloride, a common ingredient in paint strippers connected to dozens of deaths; Trichloroethylene, an industrial solvent linked to cancer and heart defects." This destruction of public protections comes at the hands of "Nancy Beck, the new head of the toxic chemical unit. Her qualifications?
Beck was previously an executive at the American Chemical Council,
where she represented some of the biggest polluters in the country." WTF?
