PUTTING "WHO" OVER WHAT

PUTTING "WHO" OVER WHAT It mattered more that the work be done, than it be known who did it. This selfless view of labor placed the focus upon product not producer. By virtue of this view the pyramids were built and civilizations founded. This view fell victim to vanity in later ages, inverting the primal paradigm. The focus then had flipped from what was done to who had done it. Man came to adore property, one's own private property, particularly. Focused on private property, "who over what," man's values declined. Mankind sunk to the point that it claimed other humans as property. Rather than just "holding all things common," another religion arose. Acquisitive kinds of religion arose, proclaiming this, but practicing that. Publishing one thing, but secretly propagating its doctrinal converse. It mattered more who was being paid, than what work was being done. "Who over what" in the present age, explains what went wrong and why. Explains what is wrong: it is vanity, vanity, all is vanity: values and laws.

TALE OF TWO "KILROYS"

TALE OF TWO "KILROYS" Kilroy does not confine himself to bathroom walls and to lascivious banter, Kilroy also desecrates the walls of ancient caves and iconic monuments with discursive waste. Dr. Kilroy might even clean up his language and his allusions, don a lab coat, get a big grant and storied staff, and then lie about his subject matter profligately for enjoyment. As between the two Kilroys, the one less dangerous is the scrawling one, he who writes down a phone number "for a good time" or who writes something nasty on the wall! The other one has perverted our study of science, history, theology, anthropology, mathematics, etc.
