INTELLECTUALS AND SOCIETY

by Thomas Sowell
Basic Books 2009

Dexter W. Hess shared his thoughts with the Monday Evening Club on March 26, 2012.

     From an early age smart people are constantly reminded of their intelligence and grow up tending to have an inflated sense of their own wisdom and importance to society. Intellectuals, like most of us, have a mixture of knowledge that is earned through rigorous exploration (learning) and complete in some areas with a mass of unverified notions in other areas. Notions are simply ideas that haven't been tested or verified, or that we carry as generalized conceptions.
     Intellectuals often have visions of how the world should be. They often share or propose their visions to the rest of us who buy into them. Listed below are some present day social changes that have resulted from such visions....  

     Although we pride ourselves on our republican form of government – directed and controlled by three branches, the President, the Congress and the Supreme Court, each counter-balancing the power of the others and ultimately answering to a democratic vote of “We, the people” – in actual fact, we are governed by a multitude of overlapping and frequently contradictory bureaucracies not subject to any control by the citizenry.

Playing With Dolls The Game: Nightmare on Elm

Attentive parents know the games children play from the very beginning.  The games have to do with discovering and owning the power over a body and building relationships with others in society.

'Tis the Ides of Another Month!

Do they really go faster as we get older?  The days, weeks, months, even years seem to fly by for us old folks.  No, this is not because the pace of life has increased in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries. Tempus fugit because each moment occupies a smaller portion of the whole of the life we have lived -- creating an illusion.

Figid Conditions

Due to the blast of cold air, "O" have cancelled Bible study this morning in Rocky Ford, but we continue aboard the ARK.  We follow IT: The Chieftain and The Correspondent at RainbowWay.org.  We celebrate this day a sister's birthday.

Aboard the ARK

From CoffeePlace aboard the ARK we tweet IT (i.e. the message) NOW to the WWW church via RainbowWay.org.

Happy Feet

@ MST 6PM +/- 2 hours, we crashed a party.  The Happy Feet of children were celebrating a birthday in spite of the disturbance to the elderly and disabled who live in Nava Manor.  Abba's neighborhood sent CRx with angels to redouble Charlie's blessings.

JUMP DRIVE!

Singing a song in a "frugal bath" we shared with a professional archivist the story of a national hero.  IT had been told to Ruth while she was employed as governess to care for three children, the hero's grandchildren.  The hero's son had come to the New World and spelled his name Dennis Sadilek.

@ MST 7:30 AM +/- 5 minutes Missy and US dex met in CoffeePlace singing "Sweet Caroline." Our hearts knew IT was the last of Avalon.

@ MST 9:00 AM +/- 3 hours Ruth and S/he worked with the archives of OJC preparing a report for Covenant Programs and John.  She had given IT to the leader for the president in RSVP to an invitation that had appeared when we opened the Service Station with Google this morning.

From RainbowWay.org

US dex, Ruth & John are introducing the Man from Georgia & National Graphic NOW.

@ 7:00 +/- 1 hour MST we met in CoffeePlace to discuss IT with JaMi, Carol, Caroline and Carolyn. (Coincidence or Purposed?)  US dex raised the skeptic's point of view (POV) to question the meaning of the word academic.  Ruth raised IT to the level of "George's Business" observing Helen's note (see archives) and an article of faith.  The implications and connotations of the word IT "Self" became the focus of our attention.

@8:30 +/- 1 hour MST the brotherhood met to prepare "products" and Ruth retired to Drs. Cove ... to study IT with Missy, the women and the children of the ARK.  All took joy in seeing how a faceted drop of crystal refracted the light of the sun into the house.

@7:30 +/- 1 hour MST we listened to the President address the State of the Union.  This, too, is an act of responsibility in doing "George's Business."

The Truth of Ruth and John

IT IS WRITTEN to forward wisdom to children and the poor as we cross the rocky ford.

Circle Complete/ The Whole Family

Welcome to the community of John (US dex), Matthew, Mark, Luke, James (a.k.a. Jim), Jesus (who works at Walmart's Subway), Dan (Dani, Seth, Lexi, Brandon, et.al -- the children), Fr. Bill & Paul (a friend in the library).  Feel free to explore RainbowWay.org to see how we are updating IT NOW.  We constantly celebrate Life's eternal elixire (Lee) with Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the many with whom a young married couple mentored.

Mourning Has Broken into Song

The Chief...news re Ashley's death...leads us to "RETHINK" Grace saving @ an orphaned age.

Inheritance

We're up n at'm ants where the balloons still fly the "Happy Holidays" message! RainbowWay.org has inherited "Happy Feet."

Justification for our Journey

The truth has been written; NOW we are satisfied.  He who says that the Mercy Center is not a Catholic institution has even helped us NOW to laugh at ourselves! The Book of Romans and The Word have given us hope.  Even Abba's "baby girl" (a Missy) has a new job.

NOW [@MST 5:00 AM +/- 90 minutes, 31 January 2011] IT is Monday, again at the service station!  We have come to a place in space/time when we understand both the confusion and the eviction (i.e. the diaspora) from our home.

This is a frustrating book, then, because one wishes to know Michener better than he seems to ....

Final Sunday Morning (August 2010)

Our hearts are in song, fresh verses classic music/ score renew Lee's song.

Morning has broken, like the first morning. / Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird. / Praise for the singing, praise for the morning, ...

We're reCYCLING/Friends again in conversations @ the Word, books and libraries as we ride with VIP aboard the Chief.  We do IT:

• face to face as He arises.
• telecom, even cell to cell with She, as we follow religiously our morning routines.
• Peace and Joy reign again as we F.R.O.G. for ONE more day.
