New Rule: Collective Narcissism | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)
youtube
The conscious rational mind is a secondary mental function. The mind chooses what feels right to it emotionally. Then, the rational mind takes over to --- well, rationalize the decision chosen by passion. This is why a good education should inculcate students with a passion for the Truth, along with critical thinking skills.
Life is complicated. So is finding the Truth in life. The Truth is often composed of many facts that are true. But taken individually, a fact may not on its own be indicative of the total Truth itself.

The absurdity is intentional!
Tumblr media
An antisemitic banner in Cincinnati going "save Ireland from the Jews."
I don't know why they're worried. Ireland doesn't have a very large Jewish population. Like so many other countries, Ireland didn't take in Jewish refugees during the holocaust. Back then they were very happy to be... neutral.
I don't have the energy for the words I actually want to say about this.

Blues to Elvin
youtube
Perhaps the most musically accessible John Coltrane for new listeners is when he plays the Blues. The Blues is a form that is basic to a lot of American music, but most especially Jazz.

Miles Davis - So What, 1959 TV live performance (Official Video)
youtube
In his autobiography, Miles wrote about what Coltrane was doing as they waited to come on stage for this TV performance. Coltrane took out an envelope and pencil he had in a suit jacket pocket and was working on new ideas for cord structures to base his improvise solos. In music textbooks on Jazz improvisation, these are called Coltrane Substitutions.
