Fainites Barley Fine, but can you at least name one female genius ? I'm thinking also beyond the IQ question and in addition to talent which isn't the same thing. There are plenty ’brilliant’ women I suppose but in history I just don't think genius is a female thing. This could be a fringe of a fringe.

"If you don't pay a price for your avant garde gesture, it's not avant garde." "If problems of the Left are not dealt with, they'll gain in force and be dealt with by the Right." So damn brilliant and concise. I haven't read Provocations yet but I'll be ordering it out of my next check. Or, my girlfriend wants to know what to get me for Christmas, so I may just wait for that. I love this woman. I can't tell you the effect Sexual Personae had on me but it was mighty.

What an amazing perspective, a breath of fresh air for us young people, I think. The newer generations absolutely have to listen to these sane minds, who were brought up in academia before the corruption and radicalization we see today.

Stay for the Q&A session. It's the best part, in my opinion.

I see now why Camille holds on to the Classic, Conservative, Western Art, and the Philosophy of Religion and the original Science of the West. As the 1960’s were all about a rebellion against them, Warhol for one, she mentions. How can one contrast and rebel against a Western vision when it has been forgotten? What is one to base ones ideas upon, when all one has is to be “Not That”! The 60’s and especially the 1970’s, are revealed as a Negative Space, a youthful thoughtless destruction. Her students today have the void, which they fill with “self”. A Selfie, as Warhol redux.

fabulousness

Whenever I hear the term "a return to" I instantly know that it will never happen -- not because I don't think it would be GREAT that many good things should be brought back, but because I know 80% of the population hold strongly to that old shibboleth "you can't bring back the past". Camille, like so many of us from the 60s, is an idealist, but unfortunately, so many today are not. They are stuck in the ideologies of the present (economic rationalism, consumer capitalism, etc) such that the grand visions of people like Camille are destined to fail. Sad but true.

That ending is so her.

In 1995 most people had 2400 or 4800 bps modems, and you had to wait a long time for web page graphics to load. The computers were also much slower so there was a bottleneck there as well. Compare that to 100 MB bps common today with pages that load on today's computers almost instantly. You needed to have some foresight to see what the web could be when Internet bandwidth and computing power increased - but Moore's Law (computing power will double every eighteen months) was well known even back then, so it was not impossible to think ahead.
