More From Thomas M. Disch

This society in which knowledge workers dominate is in danger of a new "class conflict" between the large minority of knowledge workers and the majority of workers who will make their livings through traditional ways, either by manual work... or by service work. the productivity of knowledge work - still abysmally low - will predictably become the economic challenge of the knowledge society. on it will depend the ability of the knowledge society to give decent incomes, and with them dignity and status, to non knowledge people.
Class Giving People
The endless cycle of idea and action, endless invention, endless experiment, brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; knowledge of speech, but not of silence; knowledge of words, and ignorance of the word. all our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance, all our ignorance brings us nearer to death, but nearness to death no nearer to god. where is the life we have lost in living? where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? where is the knowledge we have lost in information? the cycles of heaven in twenty centuries bring us farther from god and nearer to the dust.
Ignorance Dust Ideas
We should not be content to say that power has a need for such-and-such a discovery, such-and-such a form of knowledge, but we should add that the exercise of power itself creates and causes to emerge new objects of knowledge and accumulates new bodies of information. ... the exercise of power perpetually creates knowledge and, conversely, knowledge constantly induces effects of power. ... it is not possible for power to be exercised without knowledge, it is impossible for knowledge not to engender power.
Exercise Knowledge And Power Discovery
What are works of art for? to educate, to be standards. to produce is of little use unless what we produce is known, is widely known, the wider known the better, for it is by being known that it works, it influences, it does its duty, it does good. we must try, then, to be known, aim at it, take means to it. and this without puffing in the process or pride in the success.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. these persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. beautiful people do not just happen. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.
