CURSED/CLOSED THREAD

constant escape

winter withered, warm
I appreciate your efforts to perform CPR on this thread even while everyone is standing back and respectfully lowering their heads with their hats in hand.
I'll dig up the casket before the crowd disperses - I thought I heard a slight knocking.

Anyone here into Gramsci? What about tapping into the common sense of today? That is, the general reasoning/sensibility of the masses - what kinds of decision-making are at play? Is the everyman's barricade against the academy porous, or is it solid? It must have some passageways through it.

What kind of psychic materials are we dealing with? How can we mold the organic intellectual of the post-truth era? How can we erect a proper theorist-vanguard from the common sense? As opposed to grafting in some outside sensibility.

Well what would a non-academic intellectualism look like?

Seemingly, the mainstream, however blurrily we define it, does still have at least a kernel of respect for intellectuals? Is it just buried under a prevailing aversion to pretentiousness? To what extent is that aversion justified, and to what extent is the baby thrown out with the bathwater? That is, to what extent does one, by disregarding academic discourse, disregard a genuine intellectual impetus?
intellectuals are acceptable as long as they can explain their ideas to joe rogan.

Yes that ones got it all visually. That's what I did with penetrating questions. Except with brandy in crystal decanters instead of a jug of water. Drinking gallons of cognac and smoking Benson gold constantly

i think we had Bombay mix there on the table. Maybe it's a good thing I can't find it. Was probably more fun to make than to watch
