I was entering academia in the 80s, but the failure of the post-modernists to get ahead of this inevitable outcome caused me to exit. I also support fully the need to question the hegemony of power and control, and in that to foment equality. But doing it by working to deconstruct (as it were) materiality --while ironically valorizing the very "centered subjectivity" that we identified as reactionary-- seemed to be honing a knife to hand right over to our opponents. And here we are.

As always, deep thoughts to contemplate from Mr. Brock. Clarity with THC is a concept understood well by many Americans. For me, advanced age has been a welcome substitute to the drawbacks. I certainly cannot condemn what works (within logical reason) for others, I can only reflect on what my past and present have taught me about where a logical reason of balance exists.
