Empires decline all the time, for all kinds of reasons, but our present moment will be remembered in history books for the sheer volume of *voluntary & pointless self-imposed damage*. We're systematically dismantling what made us great, for no reason! Genuinely, with no rationale! It's wild.

Bellarmine University Commencement Address [A friend points out that this essay has disappeared from its former location on the Bellarmine University website. I agree with my friend that it is an important address, and I find that is not avail...

Wendell Berry's 2007 Commencement Address speaks very much to the challenges we face today in higher education. The current regime's attacks are congruent with the corporate takeover that Berry deplores.

I was saddened to learn that legendary journalist Bill Moyers has died. In early April, 2013, Moyers conducted a lively interview with Wendell Berry. Both men's wisdom, respect and humor shown through in their extended conversation, which is available online: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ejYAfcjJmY&t=1s

NW fruit farmers are getting crushed by Trump’s tariffsβ€”apple exports down 77%, pears down 99%, cherries down 73%, costing them up to $1.1 billion since 2017. Trump’s trade war is devastating farmers and workers, and he couldn’t care less.

β€œTrump is acting like a king because he is too weak to govern like a president. He is trying to substitute perception for reality. He is hoping that perception then becomes reality. That can only happen if we believe him.”

We are now pretty obviously facing the possibility of a world that the
and
supranational corporations, and the
governments and educational systems that serve them, will control entirely for their own enrichment-and, incidentally and inescapably, for the impoverishment of all the rest of us. This will be a world in which the cultures that preserve nature and rural life will simply be disallowed. It will be, as our experience suggests, a postagricultural world. But as we now begin to see, you cannot have a postagricultural world that is not also postdemocratic, postreligious, postnatural-in other words, it will be posthuman, contrary to the best that we have meant by 'humanity.?'
