Blank-slate revolutionary ·        Revolutionaries are of two types: inferior ones conjure idealistic precedents to inspire aspirations. Revolutionary in the best sense of a word is a blank-slate as he inspires grass root movements by conjuring a hazy future utopia.   The alienation of the self ·         The alienation of the self from self-actualization is not because one is repressed toward fulfilling some life goal but because one is further unable to sublimate himself toward another goal.   No more appointments with eclipses ·         Instruments have made us the weather prophet; they have given us the country boy’s accurate knowledge of the skies but not the required love for keepin

(Written for the students of the English department of SBBU)   By Prof Dr. Sohail Ansari ‘Michael H. Hart   (is an American   author, most notably of   The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History’. The substance of book is widely perceived to be solidly constructed and therefore, continues to gain wider and wider currency. Perhaps no other book (on the same subject) has quite the cachet of ‘A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History’ and that renders its rendition of judgment quite seminal.   Hart has earned kudos as he is credited to have the academic excellence and scholastic clinical detachment with penetrating insight sine qua non for seeing things in the light of balanced rationality and impartiality, and for delving into the ticklish discipline of history. “A text without a context is a pretext for a proof text” I pasted below the passage in its entirety so that no one can say that context is not simply its immediate location in the parag

The skill of parroting makes one journalist ·         Journalists prove by adopting the key statements of the politicians that their ability to reproduce these statements is more marked than their ability to provide facts.  Effete propaganda is exaggeration of false ·         The effectiveness of propaganda lies in its believability and much of its believability lies in the exaggeration of not false but real. Technique of containing damage ·         One way to contain damage is to present a factual error as an error in reasoning.

(Sophocles) ·         The truth is more important than the facts (Frank Lloyd Wright) Absolutes ·        Something is true because it cannot be false and something is false because it cannot be true. Method of tenacity ·        The user of the method of tenacity follows the logic that something is true because it has always been true. But the thing that has always been true cannot be true anymore. Conclusion is a surprise or no surprise ·        Conclusion is a surprise for those who are convinced that its leap of logic is unconvincing and no surprise for those who are unconvinced.

Work that occupies most to most in pre-industrial societies was either to grow or hunt food, and unoccupied moments were spent in various group-plays. Life was simple and everybody knew everything he needed to know for his social cultural and political survival. In consumer culture endeavors of significant segment of population are not channeled in food-related concerns. Groups-plays are possible at a very limited scale, as people have neither time nor familiarity with people nearby nor has physical power comparable to that of inhabitants of agrarian or hunting societies. But man needs diversions and old ways are inadeq

Communication___ the transmission of ideas, feelings, attitudes, and experiences__ was not meditated by technologies of communication. However, as is the case today, communication flows were superintended by dominant institutions. Lines of authority and personnel contact were well delineated, and ruling interests used whatever means lay at their dispos
