Only if you find him wrong more than right. You seem to only be questioning his demeanor, not his facts.

Excuse my poorly written comment below. Please read
it without the normalized view of causality by which
we assume human agency to be the cause of the damage
to the environment. Instead, consider that conceptual
error and destruction are interactive, in other words
that they are symptomatic of each other. The reason
for the validity of this perspective is the
understanding that the universe is deterministic —
not only does free will not exist, but that our
sensation of will and civilization’s mythology of
will, agency, choice and creativity are bogus.
Consider that as a profound ontological error, this
goes along with pervasively ignorant human action. If
these points are true, then the assumptions
underlying the Occupy Movement are just as
superficial and shortsighted as those underlying
corporate corruption. They are the same. Then the
success of that movement would merely perpetuate the
problem.

Princeton’s still callously complicit institutional position is clearly demonstrated by the small number of people who attended Hedges presentation there, and in their apparently having needed to secrete themselves away in a cold dark corner of the campus… like Roman Empire era Christians meeting in a catacomb.

I would have liked to have seen the Q an A or some of it. So far we see the police is still on the PTB. Until and if they get on our side we won’t have much of a chance.

Considering that the fraudclosers need to be shut down now due to criminal actions by the banks. Keeping people in their homes paying some mortgage is far better than closing those houses down.

I see anti intellectualism still alive. Those who are contemptuous of the “smarties.” Very sad. Plays into the hands of the corporate elite and their owners who hold the same contempt. With good reason since they are the ones that understand what is going on and can relay it to others not yet in the know.

I am posting not because I don’t agree with Hedges (I always agree 100+%) but toward those on this site that will castigate Hedges as usual…never fails. It is ironic that in a land 300+ million people, the likes of Hedges are only a handful.

I am eager to read the Chris Hedges/Joe Sacco collaboration. What a fantastic idea.

Good talk… especially the first part. Sad about the Q&A. When I first started reading Hedges columns here, It sounded to me like he was “name-dropping” as well when he kept saying “my friend”.

So, this is it, about may be 20 “smarties” in Princeton?

There is no one there.

This is one of Chris Hedges’ best and most comprehensive presentations. It is
excellent.

PS—Why the minimizing “gathering of smarties”???

Thanks to Chris Hedges again for so much coherent information, and for heading into places like Princeton with a mesage “management” doesn’t want students to hear, yet awakening intellectual curiority and conscience among the sons and daughters of the 1%.  Very important.
