May 1st - Marching

Seems the aging international workers  are now finally facing the truly international capitalism. As Zizek says -there are numerous end of the world theories and scares, but nobody talks anymore about the collapse of capitalism. All these marches are just out of inertia.
See the building collapse in Dhaka, at least here the international labels can be recognized.

Perils everywhere

Don't do anything. No matter what you intend, there are perils. We should live forever in status quo. there are too many who depend on this. Policy and energy experts for instance. Bringing the Canadian oil via the pipeline will increase the environmental damaging supply. Diminishing dependence of Arab oil will destabilize. Scare everybody so the moment would and these minor Fausts can keep their sinecures.

Cooper Union

New York high life contagion- bought stock, built expensive building.This is a despicable decision. The best school in NYC is destroyed. It was the best because it had the best students not the best faculty. Now with tuition, will the best apply? It will not be the same. A jewel that is losing its value.
