Rationalism’s weakness is rationalism –rational people just don’t go off half-cocked. Their enemies and adversaries and opponents do, tho. In fact it’s their major strength. All one need know about the defensiveness of rationalism is contained right there in the name itself. Everything is ‘rationed’ to the weight it ought to be, rationally-speaking that is. Telling the irrational to be rational is weak beer. Worked for awhile but it wasn’t exciting.

Pop culture is tho. That’s what it does, it excites. So we’ll have it, or something that excites as it does, as long as we have liberty and freedom for all. One could say that a nemisis has formed in opposition to the very thing that enables an opposition to form –freedom that is.

Balance is the problem. One of the weights on the spinning wheel fell off somewhere and we have to put it back on. Or take off some weight on the opposite side.
