  • Having Bought Into a Wreck -- What Now? Cognitive Challenges of Embodying Reality Otherwise - /
    Alternative view of segmented documents via Kairos 7 May 2018 | Draft Having Bought into a Wreck -- What Now? Cognitive challenges of embodying reality otherwise - / - Introduction Environmental preamble Intuited complementarity: environmental cycles and learning cycles? Revisioning a tabular configuration of categories Cognitive implication in contrasting modalities Symbolism, mythology and correspondences Rosetta stone of meaningful cycles? Ultimate self-reflexive irony of cyclic cognitive processes Preceding approaches to thematic organization Productivity: Substantive ("Solid") Liquidity: Both substantive and non-substantive ("Fluid") Imagination: Non-substantive ("Air") Excitement: Neither substantive nor non-substantive ("Fire") References Introduction Whether in collusion with others or not, I seem to have bought shares in a total wreck of some kind. It could be a house or some means of transportation -- possibly a truck, or a boat, or a train, or a plane. Some call it global civilization. Like the Cubans after their revolution, I am faced with the challenge of a rapidly decaying "automobile" for which I cannot get spare parts. This is despite the reported rate of development of technology elsewhere (beyond my reach and comprehension), and the promises with which it is associated. How am I then to engage with the wreck, which could indeed collapse further at any moment? There is some irony that, as an "auto-mobile", getting it to work is curiously reminiscent of what is otherwise framed as the challenge of "sustainability". One approach for me is simply to note the facts of this situation -- to bear witness. To whom? Various parts do not work as they might be expected to work -- whether frozen, ill-fitting, or poorly connected.

  • Chapter One by Robert Denton III
    Chapter One By Robert Denton III 9th Day of the Month of Togashi, 1123, on the shores of Cherry Blossom Snow Lake Hida Sukune knew the battle was lost the instant a spear broke through his father’s armor and pierced his belly. Kisada only noticed the wound after he’d flung his opponent screaming from the side of the battlements. He collapsed like the fortress gates, blood running free like the fire. The grim honor guard formed a circle around him, and as they withdrew, Kisada would not look at his son. It was later said that the Castle of the Forgotten fell only after the Great Bear did. Kyūden Hida’s halls thundered with the wet hasty script of rushed scribes and scrolls rolled before the ink fully dried. Heralds would carry them to the Great Clan families, to the Imperial Palace, and beyond. They would learn the Crab’s shame and be warned of what was coming. It is my failure, not yours. Kisada’s words echoed in Sukune’s head even now. Yakamo had protested. If the other clans had heeded the Crab—if they’d sent the jade, the resources, then… Kisada’s wound left him unable to fight. You must lead now, Sukune. Redeem the clan. Do what you can. Stop Akuma’s march. At any cost. Sukune banished the memory and traced the invaders’ course on the map. Akuma no Oni’s forces had an uncontested path straight to Otosan Uchi. But he wasn’t going there. Instead, the horde marched northwest, to the Shinomen Forest.

  • Bigfoot Sighting in Kentucky? Couple Recounts Bizarre Tale at Mammoth Cave
    Bigfoot sighting in Kentucky? Couple recounts bizarre tale at Mammoth Cave Ben Tobin, Louisville Courier Journal Published 9:05 a.m. ET July 31, 2019 | Updated 7:11 p.m. ET July 31, 2019 Bigfoot is back. But did he ever really go away? Brad Ginn and Madelyn Durand, a couple of Western Kentucky University students, said they were awakened in the middle of the night last weekend during a camping trip to Mammoth Cave by a gun-toting man hellbent on tracking down the legendary creature. "It was scary to know there was a man out there shooting a gun at nothing," Durand told the Courier Journal on Wednesday of the couple's weekend adventure in the woods. Bigfoot sightings have been reported hundreds of times across Kentucky since the time of Daniel Boone. What makes Durand and Ginn's story so unforgettable, though, is the randomness of their tale. Neither says they actually saw Bigfoot — and they weren't looking, either. The couple had been sleeping in a tent early Sunday morning when Durand, 22, woke up Ginn, 24, to tell him that a man and his young son were approaching. When they got to the tent, the man said that his own campsite and tent had been destroyed and that they were in "Bigfoot country." Then he showed them a gun in his back pocket and told them to "run if we hear shots," Ginn said. The man and his son then left. "A few minutes later we see their lights approaching again," Ginn said, "and as they get closer we hear the man yell something like 'oh my God! Do you see that? There it is!'" Top headlines: Louisville's legendary mecca for antiques and oddities is for sale (/story/money/companies/2019/07/31/legendary-louisville-antique- store-up-sale-after-50-years/1881957001/) Looking out from their tent, Durand and Ginn watched as the man "shot his gun into the darkness." Durand and Ginn said they then ran from their tent to the man to see what was happening.
