The Vices and Virtues of Humanity
Dr Neville Buch Abstract: Humanity is defined by an originary de-fault, a lack of innate qualities that necessitates the invention of the “human” through technics, culture, and the articulation of memory.

Is History Sold Cheaply?
https://www.facebook.com/simon.cole.241457/videos/799258339556758?idorvanity=250449248402425 That is so funny, Simon Cole, 😆 (see video at link) and on a serious note, appalling 😡…It is in these days of poor cognition — “good enough” is not good enough in project management.

At New Zealand’s Victoria University, ancient Greek, Latin, and Italian were all given the ax. Michigan’s Cornerstone University, in Grand Rapids, reduced and…
