More From Johan Huizinga

Drugs took me to places; they were like portals. it's kind of a cliché, but they were like portals to altered states of consciousness into ways of imagining the world, or seeing a world beyond this world, or seeing a world beyond this world that i might not have gotten to unless i discovered meditation and a very deep, intense spiritual path based on contemplation and meditation.
Spiritual Meditation Drug
I think it's hard to have a brand portal and an economy of trustworthiness in one of them that sloshes over into another. but saying that there will be only a limited number of these giant brand portals doesn't mean a limited number of companies; it doesn't mean that everybody's going to be working for these companies. quite the opposite. most of us will be working through much smaller entities that simply use these portals as vehicles for getting and identifying customers.
Mean Thinking Portal
The self-discipline of the social democracy is not merely the replacement of the authority of bourgeois rulers with the authority of a socialist central committee. the working class will acquire the sense of the new discipline, the freely assumed self-discipline of the social democracy, not as a result of the discipline imposed on it by the capitalist state, but by extirpating, to the last root, its old habits of obedience and servility.
Self Class Roots
What is needed, however, isn't just that people working together be nice to each other. it is discipline. discipline is hard--harder than trustworthiness and skill and perhaps even than selflessness. we are by nature flawed and inconstant creatures. we can't even keep from snacking between meals. we are not built for discipline. we are built for novelty and excitement, not for careful attention to detail. discipline is something we have to work at.
Nice Skills Discipline
To be free people we must assume total responsibility for ourselves, but in doing so must possess the capacity to reject responsibility that is not truly ours. to be organized and efficient, to live wisely, we must daily delay gratification and keep an eye on the future; yet to live joyously we must also possess the capacity, when it is not destructive, to live in the present and act spontaneously. in other words, discipline itself must be disciplined. the type of discipline required to discipline discipline is what i call balancing.
Eye Responsibility Discipline
The discipline of suffering, of great suffering- do you not know that only this discipline has created all enhancements of man so far? that tension of the soul in unhappiness which cultivates its strength, its shudders face to face with great ruin, its inventiveness and courage in enduring, preserving, interpreting, and exploiting suffering, and whatever has been granted to it of profundity, secret, mask, spirit, cunning, greatness- was it not granted to it through suffering, through the discipline of great suffering?

Many of the ugly pages of american history have been obscured and forgotten....america owes a debt of justice which it has only begun to pay. if it loses the will to finish or slackens in its determination, history will recall its crimes and the country that would be great will lack the most indispensable element of greatness-justice.
