“Granger looked into the fire. ‘Phoenix.’ ‘What?’ ‘There was a silly damn bird called a phoenix back before Christ, every few hundred years he built a pyre and burnt himself up. He must have been first cousin to Man. But every time he burnt himself up he sprang out of the ashes, he got himself born all over again. And it looks like we’re doing the same thing, over and over, but we’ve got one damn thing the phoenix never had. We know the damn silly thing we just did. We know all the damn silly things we’ve done for a thousand years, and as long as we know that and always have it around where we can see it, someday we’ll stop making the goddamn funeral pyres and jumping in the middle of them. We pick up a few more people that remember every generation.’ He took the pan off the fire and let the bacon cool and they ate it, slowly, thoughtfully. ‘Now let’s get on upstream,’ said Granger. ‘And hold onto one thought: You’re not important. You’re not anything. Someday the load we’re carrying with us may help someone. But even when we had the books on hand, a long time ago, we didn’t use what we got out of them. We went right on insulting the dead. We went right on spitting in the graves of all the poor ones who died before us. We’re going to meet a lot of lonely people in the next week and the next month and the next year. And when they ask us what we’re doing, you can say, We’re remembering. That’s where we’ll win out in the long run. And someday we’ll remember so much that we’ll build the biggest goddamn steamshovel in history and dig the biggest grave of all time and shove war in and cover it up. Come on now, we’re going to go build a mirror factory first and put out nothing but mirrors for the next year and take a long look in them.”
—Ray Bradbury, “Fahrenheit 451”

"Hope will be produced when, in opposition to what Williams’ describes, we work as educators and citizens, to 'on the whole [meet]… by an integration of… the priorities and interests of public well being and happiness… which will necessarily retain as its central principle… the idea of public democratic control of governance, communication and teaching the public.' Working toward such a goal will require critical discourses against militarism and capitalism, an exposure of the facts of militarism and capitalism, and a challenge to the values they both inculcate, but also critical interventions that produce alternative public spheres, modes of representation based in social justice and peace, other facts and other values, and affective and aesthetic engagements that move beyond critiques of the present order and into new ideological directions and material formations that refuse and negate the 'priorities and interests' of militarism and capitalism."
--Douglas S. Morris, "Film as Public Pedagogy in the U.S. Culture of Militarism"
NEW VIDEO! I addressed the Current Affairs clips of the Destiny/Nathan Robinson debate, specifically the questions about violent transfer, defining genocide, and Zionism and Islam.
