Epigram: Surfing Political Pipeline [part I]

1. My co-pilot is a student,
   A first year independent.
2. Remember:
3. the war to transcend liberalism;
4. long last at it was– is over.
5. We no longer transcend it!
6. ’tis a fool’s errand!

Now we are surfing: Political Pipeline

• Alas, remembering Wittgenstein, “The individual
• words of this language are to refer to what can only be known
• to the person speaking… another person cannot understand
• the language” (PSS 69)–thing of that.
• Now the social scientist may eat the remaining Swiss cheese
• and say that there never was a piece of Swiss cheese!
• But not to worry, social scientists have much more
• food at the table–half eaten; with holes.

Let us explore!

• For greater analysis, governments (or scientists)
• could cause an avalanche of knowledge if  (1) they kept
• multifarious statistics regarding reality (as it exists),
• (2) freedom of information transferred globally as a norm;
• institutionally, and (3) social scientists completed
• their homework. 
• Like, what are the positive ramifications of executive drone strikes
• in foreign countries without the consent of the people, or,
• the other governments? What part of chaos is activated?
• What part of security manifests?
• What does our political science say?

Says Louis Hartz:

Born Equal and Opportunity.
The status quo determines,
The categories of revolution.
 
Jefferson the Hero and Hamilton the Villain—
The nation never really sinned:
Only its inferior self did.
 
A new Jefferson arises, like a phoenix;
So instead of recapturing our past,
We have got to transcend it,
Alas.

We are at the shore.

What is your line?
