Feeling

Feeling is not a good guide for action. Emotion without thought carries out into the barren swamp lenin warns of (see previous post) just as surely as thought without feeling.

The baby boomers reacted to what they percieved as their parent's "unfeelingness," their use of thought to suppress emotion. Their simple negation, using emotion to override thought, yeilded equally inadequate results.

"What is it with our country? Our brains have stopped and our emotions are running wild..." --Bill Hicks

Then you got the Xers -- the negation of the negation, right? -- but they negated motive force itself. Whoops. Then again, this is all just the circling of patty-burger turds in the toilet-bowl of the mass media. Tomorrow I'll try to think like Lenin, and see the virtue & omnipotence of historical movement above this rancid frey...
