    I’m not an academic but this makes me wish I was. I look forward to reading the book glad you were able to gather and discuss and clearly enjoy the opportunity

      Yes you too can invent a problem, hyperbolize it, and gain as many letters after your name by creating fake bogeymen and capturing the present victim mentality! Weee!

      @@ShifuCareaga I suppose that is an interesting question that has probably already been explored but yes to what extent to observation and analysis of a phenomenon call that phenomenon into existence, kinda a new take on the whole if a tree falls in a forest does it make a sound thing.

      @@liav4102 fundamentally, you are philosophical; you do not need to be an academic to be one. In fact, the best philosophers of history were all counter culturalists that would tell you, vehemently: don't become a square peg to fit a square hole, if at your basis you want the degrees of freedom necessary to have a truly dialectic and ontological experience with Reality. The more ingrained with the thought manure (such as in radical deconstructionist ideology) you get, the less likely you're to have the actual freedom to hear the sound of the tree, or to see the forest, the tree, or any of the things in that forest living on or around that tree.

    I wish we could have heard more from the author himself!

      yes to this! The book is *fascinating* and at the same time so frightening on how easily we've let our faith become a handmaiden of the conservative state.

      This is such an interesting topic.
      Who knew that Hillary Clinton was really a positive influence in American history?
      It gives us all hope that even some of the most controversial characters in American history could be looked at in a new light if one just squints enough.
      I'm so impressed with Kristin and her very fair assessment of Hillary's vision of America without dirtying up her image with all the corruption that just revolves around her, no matter what she is doing.
      I so glad she didn't bring up all the colleagues of hers that end up dead or seriously charged in criminal activities.
      We love Hillary and her amazing ability to always be untouchable when knee deep herself in some of the most corrupt activities.
      Now that should be Kristin's next book.
      Hillary Clinton a life misunderstood.
      My favorite quote from Hillary is "wiped, you mean with a cloth"?
      But I also like her infamous quote during the congressional hearing where she testified that, she as Secretary of State wasn't pleased with our US ambassador to Libya and she declined to assist his 12 requests for increased security personnel and a more secure compound at a very volatile time.
      And when the inevitable attack and breach of the very insecure ambassador quarters did occur with a group of about 50 well armed militants, he again was ignored as he and his team of 2 security personal tried to escape.
      The attack was allowed to continue without any input from Hillary or the State department or the president. But they did have great front row viewing from circling drones cameras that had zero clearance to provide cover fire or missile defensive cover, but allowed the US to make sure that the American ambassador was captured and killed and his body dragged through the streets.
      This whole scenario is what lead to Hillary's other very infamous quote, "what difference does it make, he's dead".
      That was her answer to the congressional question, what did you do after you got word that the ambassador compound was under attack?
      She was extremely upset that her answer included the very embarrassing and callous remark, "she went to bed, it wasn't her job to deploy security".
      She was then asked who she was with at that time and that triggered her most emotional and infamous quote.

      😂 the way these people congratulate themselves for their echo chambers and remain out of touch with history, science, and the population is really stunning. Your comment is hilarious because it points out how backbiting their intentions are here.
      Reminds me of white Victorian's studying negro skulls and so happening to deduce they were 'naturally inferior' which such cunning scientese. The number of people that consider themselves thinkers is really amazing. 😂😅😂
      If I took a shot for ever patriarchy and whiteness she mentioned I would die of alcohol poisoning. What a stack of 🤡.
