  1. A quotation from The Bible

    All baptised in Christ, you have all clothed yourselves in Christ, and there are no more distinctions between Jew and Greek, slave and free, male and female, but all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
     
    [ὅσοι γὰρ εἰς Χριστὸν ἐβαπτίσθητε, Χριστὸν ἐνεδύσασθε. οὐκ ἔνι Ἰουδαῖος οὐδὲ Ἕλλην, οὐκ ἔνι δοῦλος οὐδὲ ἐλεύθερος, οὐκ ἔνι ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ· πάντες γὰρ ὑμεῖς εἷς ἐστε ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.]

    The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
    Galatians 3: 27–28 [JB (1966)]

  2. I believe a philosophy that can be called wide-ass. Everyone contributes their thoughts, and beliefs, and actions to the wide-ass philosophy.

    My personal philosophies are more wise-ass. But I don't think that navel-gazing from the inside, or head-up-the-ass philosophies will lead to useful enlightenment.

    I could be wrong... It wouldn't be the 1st time...

  3. It's Monday. Hope y'all are having a day! ("Have a good day" seems like a lot of pressure in these times.)

    I wrote a thing about
    euphemism
    the Left
    doge
    Musk
    the destruction of the commons
    and trauma.

    Here's the first part:
    the Lack in the Left

  4. One complaint, riffing on an off hand comment in the interview: it’s long past time everyone abandons the outdated belief that #anthropolgy is about going to the field and studying #theOther, while #sociology is about studying #theSelf (or worse, the #modern ).
