Nymphs and pixies fight good too (17 February 2009)

No, not a fantasy, James. The most advanced psychoclass would be all

about peace, of course. However, they would have within their ranks

the most creative (least stultified, least rigid--most free) thinkers

on earth, who could ably attend to such necessities as insuring they

are not vulnerable to their "barbarian" brethren's perpetual need to

war and sacrifice (their own). (They' be like Apple -- fun, happy,

with technology that outpaces all competition.)

I know it's easy to imagine those who are most loving as a bunch of

wayward nymphs and pixies. But what they'd really be would be those

who, when forced into combat (for them it would really be last resort --

if they sensed their "enemies" [lower psychoclasses] were in the mood

for war, they'd be the type to figure out a way to address their

opponent's need with the least amount of bloodshed as possible), they

would be most ably constituted to resist sacrificing their own, to

magnify the conflict, so as to satiate Mother.

When Britain began their great economic expansion in the seventeen-hundreds (the time when they became a nation of "shopkeepers"), the

conservatives at the time said that the emergence and social

predominance of a middle class (the emerging new psychoclass, as

delineated by Lloyd and Stone) who believed life should be about

commercial pleasures, would ensure that britian would become easy prey

for more martial nations (Athens/Sparta references were everywhere in

the conservative press). I believe it was Burke who pointed out that

the emergence of a nation of shopkeepers had gone hand-in-hand with

(and was largely responsible for) the emergence of Britian's great

naval fleet, which was scoring victory-after-victory, as Britian's

commercial empire grew and grew and grew.

Watch out, liberal extremities!

Watch out, liberal extremities! websmith says: “White people and an increasing number of minorities are tired of being called racists by the true racists and more appalled that this loony bleeding has spread from the heart to the brain." This is what many progressives are going to have to get used to hearing -- that THEY are the true racists! I've said this before but '60's liberalism goes down when enough people have decided that, in sum, it was never truly about what minorities, impoverished people wanted/needed, but instead what certain AFFLUENT WHITE PEOPLE wanted to believe those they ostensibly spoke for wanted/needed. They (progressives) will be made to seem, not the most caring, but the most negligent, most truly self-serving. Of course, most democrats in power will not be too afflicted by this, because they're ready to turn on the ’60s too. Why? Because, sad to say, they're getting in mood to want to see the weak and needy set-up as punishment-worthy a...

Conversation about Agulis at the Gene Wolfe Facebook Appreciation Club

James Pepe New Member  ·  20 hrs I’ve been rereading BotNS (this is my second read of it) and I just finished the part where Sev fights Agulis with the avern. I’m interested to hear what people think of the accusations Agilus levels agains Sevarian. Agilus says Sev has wronged him three times. Are we meant to take these accusations seriously? They're very strange. Is this just a last ditch attempt by Agilus to get out of being killed, or is Sev actually guilty of something, either legal, moral, or cultural. Are the powers that Agilus refers to simply that the avern didn’t kill Sev when it wounded him? Here the quote, “First by entrapment. You carried an heirloom worth a villa about the city without knowing what it was you had. As owner it was your duty to know, and your ignorance threatens to cost me my life tomorrow unless you free me tonight. Secondly, by refusing to entertain any offer to buy. In our commercial society, one may set...

Discussion over the fate of Jolenta, at the Gene Wolfe facebook appreciation site

Patrick McEvoy-Halston November 28 at 10:36 AM Why does Severian make almost no effort to develop sustained empathy for Jolenta -- no interest in her roots, what made her who she was -- even as she features so much in the first part of the narrative? Her fate at the end is one sustained gross happenstance after another... Severian has repeated sex with her while she lay half drugged, an act he argues later he imagines she wanted -- even as he admits it could appear to some, bald "rape" -- but which certainly followed his  discussion of her as someone whom he could hate so much it invited his desire to destroy her; Severian abandons her to Dr. Talus, who had threatened to kill her if she insisted on clinging to him; Baldanders robs her of her money; she's sucked at by blood bats, and, finally, left at death revealed discombobulated of all beauty... a hunk of junk, like that the Saltus citizens keep heaped away from their village for it ruining their preferred sense ...
