The
Collecting or curious thing about language is that like all tools it?
Shapes its user in ways that are not
Suspected until it's too late
so
In it for instance of the way in which Western civilization is totally obsessed with the subject object to
relationship you know and it's the basis of our science or
polity
Relations to commerce the concept of product all of these things come out of the subject object
Relationship which is an aspect of?
language
In the so III point all this out because
In talking about my new book somebody said
That I had gone too far
And I was amused because it implied from what?
You know it's not like there is a King's X where
grey beards in white coats

fantasy an illusion that haunts the world of conspiracy theory
Rather it seems
everything is being left pretty much to develop on its own because people are afraid to grab or
touch the levers and buttons in the control room of the
historical
vehicle
and
What that means then is that people who?
Can cut through these many many?
illusions the illusion of materialism
the illusion of business as usual the illusion of benevolent
institutions carefully guiding us toward reasonable destinies if you cut through all that if you
Disabuse yourself of all that
You will empower yourself to eventually be able to stand up in delicate social and political
situations and just say
