The year of living surgically. I’m still recovering from the 2 knee replacements & today I had the first of 2 cataract surgeries. Figured I might as well since I have them & I’m not teaching. Surgeon says it went well. I’ll know for sure when the patch comes off. Aaaaargh! 🏴☠️

Ok, I’ll speak my mind; Western Civilization is a construct that wouldn’t exist without the technological & social innovations from the ancient Near East, the Aegean, & Egypt
"The spirit of Western civilisation is the spirit of inquiry ... Nothing is to remain undiscussed. Everybody is to speak [their] mind. No proposition is to be left unexamined".

The evolution of cuneiform from drawn pictographs to impressed signs.
The later version of the sign for “eat” is lovely. It’s the sign for mouth (KA) adjustied slightly to fit the sign for bread or food (NINDA) inside it.

It's really easy: make sure classicists study Bronze Age languages and cultures of the Near East and their contribution, and teach about blacks in antiquity. De-center classics by renaming programs to include the entire Mediterranean....

The NAP makes it simple. Bentham's utilitarianism has always been disturbing to me as has Burke's conservativism. I'm pro freedom of religion, & have Muslim friends, but if Muslims want to live in the west, they must show the same tolerance they want.

When I worked in my first campaign in 1968 at age 12, I was told I could be a poll watcher. I did it & for years I thought it was just something they gave me to do because I was a kid. In 2020, I learned it was a great responsibility & learning experience.
