"...than are dreamt of N your philosophy."
consciousness raising and philosophically challenging anything! HERbert MARCUSE: ONE-DIMENSIONAL MAN/essays on liberation. almost anything written by chomsky. PEOPle's History of the US by zinn; early marx, especially his school manuscripts from 1844 on. almost any political writings by gore vidal, though his fiction book LIVE FROM GOLGOTHA is a hilarious satire on religion, hackers and consumerism, though a bit slow. the global brain by peter russell, anything written simply about quantum physics, etc, etc, etc. THE LORAX. lawrence lessig is pretty awesome as well. if you like legal and philosophical discussions on free culture, intellectual property, creativity, etc. theodore roethke. yep. great way to start a day. oh, and siva vaidhyanathan. hes a beautiful thinker on the rise of intellectual property and “how it threatens creativityâ€. check anarchist in the library. sic. sic.
anyone/thing that can smile in the face of adversity and those who help us do so
