Treating people like criminals

By -

Even if you know me, you may not know that something that bugs me is that, as the world is divided into goodies and baddies - that people who are goodies get treated like baddies 'in case'. So yes, that applies to me. Men should be treated with caution. I think a certain level of caution is warranted in life-and-death situations, even situations that men don't think are life and death. So, always meet in a public place, and give your friend their researched identity number and phone number before leaving the house. And men, for their part, bring your mother to the date and two of your male friends. Do your bit to show women you know they are vulnerable. However, I don't want to hand in my handbag to a shop locker when I go into a store. Capitalism's loss is not life and death. Put up a camera and witness my honesty.

Tolstoy is a pseudonym of Austen

War and Peace (2016) ~ Just as I am about to ask if 'Leo Tolstoy' is a pseudonym of Jane Austen, a hunt and a wolf murder. I was never inspired to read the 'canon' as it's all animal murder, war, and duels.

Am I unnecessarily suspicious? For whom did Tolstoy and Lawrence write? Women were forbidden educations, and wealthy women who had a version of education had to spend morning noon and night going to fittings and dressing for meals and events. Was Tolstoy interested in love? Have I lost a grasp on my brain?

This was my reply: I don't agree with Thamus who says to Theuth that writing will make people stupid and lazy because they won't use their memories. I think those people are speaking about knowledge and not ideas.  Knowledge is just the sticky stuff (giggle) of ideas. Knowledge is the least important because you can Google it. Ideas are the precursors to knowledge. Ideas are unique and specific to each person. Ideas are what we reach towards when we reach towards people. In community. Ideas may or may not make their way to Google. Ideas live like butterflies.  Ideas float in the ether. The more ideas you are exposed to the more you create. If you had to go speak to Socrates and Plato and Sappho and Steinem and Peterson and Larsen and Hite and Faludi and Ehrenreich every time you wanted to swirl in the world of ideas you'd have to invent time travel an...
