The Apolitical Political Correctness | Clarissa's Blog
Ah, thank you for the information, but when I did my PhD I took in a lot of information, enough to form a system, and then I continued for several more years to refine that system and now I am weary of other ideas. The other thing is I have observed very closely the tendency of people to alight upon half-familiar stale thoughts with an air of surprised revelation, so I imagine this phenomena will keep occurring. People will keep rediscovering Christianity under the aura of new age ephinanies and they will keep reinscribing traditional notions about gender and reality because they just seem so goddam true. To me, one of the main illusions of our time is that we can just gravitate toward nice organic cultural circles according to our lights and according to our supposed intrinsic genius. What I see people do is gravitate toward Christian ideology hidden behind mystical theory or evolutionary psychology. The pull is much, much greater than the energy available to most people to make themselves free. Hence the importance of education. I’m sure these happy go-lucky fluffy bunnies who find new ways to live and look at life are temporarily satisfied with themselves, but to me they tackle everything on all too superficial a level. It’s not satisfying. And I can’t talk to such people. They are basically nutty.
