Get out of my head
I have to quote this because this guy is spot on regarding my life at the moment:
The current movements of rebellion, especially those of youth, while they necessarily reflect the peculiarities of their respective settings, manifest in their essence this preoccupation with people as beings in the world and with the world - preoccupation with what and how they are “being.” As they place consumer civilization in judgment, denounce bureaucracies of all types, demand the transformation of the universities (changing the rigid nature of the teacher-student relationship and placing that relationship within the context of reality), propose the transformation of reality itself so that universities can be renewed, attack old orders and establish institutions in the attempt to affirm human beings as the Subjects of decision, all these movements reflect the style of our age, which is more anthropological than anthropocentric.
- Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed
Preoccupation is a good overall description of the majority of my rants and reflections. I'm not sure if this makes me a radical, which this guy would classify me as such.
