Yet. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ What, has SkeptiNews arisen from the dead? HALLELUJAH!! GLORIOSKI! YAAAY!! Uhh, not exactly. Your Humble Editor has no intention of producing a full daily magazine in several installments, as before. But he still scrambles around the Web when he's not doing something more useful, and he gathers odd observations that deserve questioning, and he posts some of these to the SkeptiChat elist and the SkeptiLog website, for your edification etc. As with the original SkeptiNews bulletins, the intent of these posts is to incite comment, promote discussion, jumpstart skeptical chats, especially on the SkeptiChat list [go to http://www.sonic.net/~ric/vsub.htm to join]. These observations and other personal notes are posted on my blog site at http://skeptilog.pitas.com where SkeptiChatters can also see notices about who's having mail delivery problems, etc. Quantities of my Guides, Games, Rules, Journals etc are available at http://www.sonic.net/~ric/go/go.htm Following is a new, typical log entry - about 60 lines, produced once or twice every day or four, dealing with the usual subjects. Enjoy. --Ric _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "It may be that universal history is the history of the different intonations given a handful of metaphors." --J.L.Borges _ _ _ _ _ "The Alphabet Versus the Goddess : The Conflict Between Word and Image" proposes that the invention of alphabetic writing rewired the brains of those who learned how to communicate using this culture-changing tool. Great social benefits followed. But a precipitous decline in feminine values manifested by women's status, goddess veneration, nature, and rep- resentative art occurred in tandem. For example, the European witchhunts followed closely in the heels of the printing press. The return of the image in the modern age through the medium of photography, film, TV, and internet have brought about a sharp rise in the values denigrated during the 5000 year reign of patriarchy and literacy. $ Promotion, excerpts: http://www.alphabetvsgoddess.com/ * Review: http://freespace.virgin.net/www3.org/info/avg1.htm * Comment: http://freespace.virgin.net/www3.org/info/avgcomments.htm ?
