Genres:Young Adult, Contemporary, Humour, Romance and Fiction ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Media Control by Noam Chomsky![]() ![]() ![]() Noam Chomsky’s backpocket classic on wartime propaganda and opinion control begins by asserting two models of democracy-one in which the public actively participates, and one in which the public is manipulated and controlled. ![]() Chomsky further touches on how the modern public relations industry has been influenced by Walter Lippmann’s theory of „spectator democracy,” in which the public is seen as a „bewildered herd” that needs to be directed, not empowered and how… ( tovább) From an examination of how Woodrow Wilson’s Creel Commission „succeeded, within six months, in turning a pacifist population into a hysterical, war-mongering population,” to Bush Sr.'s war on Iraq, Chomsky examines how the mass media and public relations industries have been used as propaganda to generate public support for going to war. According to Chomsky, „propaganda is to democracy as the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state,” and the mass media is the primary vehicle for delivering propaganda in the United States. ![]() ![]() ![]() I have found, in dealing with New Atheist writers, that they tend to focus almost obsessively really on a small set of arguments for religious belief. That’s part of what’s distinctive of New Atheists. The tendency to attack straw men and attack caricatures and not do your basic homework before you attack religion has now become a more widespread phenomenon than it was in earlier generations. Of course, atheists of the past have sometimes been prone to that as well, but part of what makes the New Atheist movement different from previous generations of atheists is that it’s become something of a mass-movement. But New Atheist writers tend not to do that. Any philosopher knows that when you’re dealing with critics or opponents, you always want to take them on at their strongest point. They tend to attack ‘straw men’ and take their opponents on at their weakest points, rather than their strongest points. Why do you think that is?įor one thing, the New Atheist writers tend not to know a whole lot about the ideas that they are criticising. In particular, you have regarded the writers as being intellectually shallow in their treatment of religious belief. In your book The Last Superstition, you have been a very vocal critic of the ‘New Atheism’ movement.

So Whitman reminds us of our relationship to the book as he exclaims, “Listener up there!” It’s as if the poet, now embodied in the ink and paper, is speaking to us off the page, looking up at us as we peer down at the book. ![]() ![]() ![]() In a later poem called “Unfolded Out of the Folds,” Whitman imagined all of life as a series of unfoldings, just as every new life and identity is “unfolded” out of “the folds of the woman.” Each and every moment is a new birth, a new world of Now unfolding before the awake senses of all those who are embodied in that moment.Īs we read Whitman’s book, we are also aware of the “folds” of the pages, and, as we read each one and fold it over to confront the next, we are enacting in the process of reading the continual, literal unfolding of new moments, new ideas, new encounters, new sections of the poem. The moment of “Now” incessantly empties the past and present in order to open a new “fold of the future,” which becomes the ever-emerging moment of presence. ![]() Some of Whitman’s most beautiful lines are here, as when he images the “past and present” as wilted plants, once alive and sentient but now withered and emptied of presence, of life. This section contains Whitman’s plea to the reader to begin the work of responding to what the poet has proposed-to begin to argue, to talk, to co-create the poem. ![]() 5/9/2023 0 Comments La quinta ola by Rick Yancey![]() ![]() There is also a contact link on every page as well in case you ever need extra help. ![]() ![]() There is Navigation menu in the top-right of every page.

Personally, my biggest issue with this is that prior to his illustrious elevation, Pacino has only ever commanded a single submarine. Presumably, this occurs just a year or two after "Phoenix Sub Zero" with Admiral Pacino now ComSubLant (Commander Submarine, Atlantic), although, he and the former Admiral Donchez, now Director of the NSA Donchez, have combined that position with ComSubPac into a Combined Submarine Commander - so, I'm guessing he's in charge of all the submarines now. ![]() DiMercurio knows what the hell he is doing with this story. So, of the four that I've read, I'd say that this is actually one of the better, if not best ones - although, that's like saying stale bread is the best kind of bread when all you have to compare it to is moldy bread. ![]() |
