Marcuse came from a generation of intellectuals who had experienced the devastation of World War I. This pointless war, together with the Spanish influenza, which followed on its heels and wiped out as many as the war had destroyed, produced a generation of exhausted and cynical intellectuals ready to embrace the false optimism of either fascism or Marxism.We cannot let this repeat with the current generation experiencing what they see as pointless wars and the current pandemic. We dont need another generation of exhausted and cynical intellectuals ready to embrace the false optimism of either fascism or Marxism.
Georgias was discredited by a farmer who objected to Georgias helping himself to fruit from one of the farmer’s trees. Georgias continue to eat and finally understood the essence of reality and truth when the farmer picked up a rock and was about to bash the overworked, confused brain of the gorging Georgias.
In the early 1960s, the New School offered the father of the US President, Barack Obama, a generous scholarship package that would have paid for his immediate family (including wife Ann Dunham and son, the future President; then residents of Hawaii) to join him in New York City, where he would complete his PhD.

A typical college protest involved students marching and then engaging in illegal activities such as graffiti, vandalizing, and even kidnapping in the form of confining college deans to their offices.
The protest would not stop until all of the demands of the protesters were met, one of which was always that none of them would be held accountable for any of their illegal actions.
Sound familiar?
I think we owe a lot to those few deans who didn't cave to the childish criminals. Responsibility for much of the current violence can properly be laid at the feet of those cowardly deans who caved, and the local law enforcement that failed to treat them as the criminals they were.
Our institutions of culture have my interest. A short list of the advances related to the Frankfurt school and the progression of their results follows.
The insanity has to end but first we have to find and recognize where insanity's starting point is.
