Autism is a major syndrome in our AI-galloping society

 

AUTISM FOR ALL THE “RAIN MEN” IN THE WORLD

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/autism-for-all-the-rain-men-in-the-world-43346d3d9014?postPublishedType=initial

 


Daniel Tammet is a fascinating author who is an Asperger’s patient. He was educated under Margaret Thatcher and had the tremendous chance of being schooled after the reform she imposed: no more ghetto classes for special cases like autistic kids. Their position was in normal classes, with eventually some support and help due to their handicap.

 

That enabled Tammet to thrive in languages. He was able to become conversant in any language within fifteen days. He learned Russian among other languages, and he had a career as an English teacher in the USSR, still there at the time. And he started writing books on his own experience. This evolution in the 1980s made it possible to integrate handicapped people into society. They had a proper education. They could get proper jobs, even if the jobs may have had to be slightly adapted. They were productive and creative.

 


In some countries, France, for example, there was and still is some resistance and a great lack of care. All schools are not entirely accessible to people in wheelchairs. All schools do not have the properly trained personnel to take care of these students, and first of all, the teachers are often deficient in training in these fields of expertise.

 

Yet awareness of the problem is becoming important internationally, and some serious progress has been made over the last fifty years. Associations, foundations, other institutions, or NGOs are working, though it often looks like a battle, in this field, which is a real ethical battlefield.

 

I was classified in this category when I was 18. The administrative stigmatization has been running after me, at times even trying to block me, all my life, including right now in my old age. But that’s life. It is people like Daniel Tammet who give us the courage to look down upon those bureaucrats and let them bark in a corner.

La guerre, gagnée ou perdue, est toujours un  crime contre l’humanité, où que ce soit, quand que ce soit, contre qui que ce soit.

Alors qu’on  en finisse une bonne fois pour toutes.

LES DEUX FACES, VISIBLE ET CACHÉE, HORRIBLES DE LA GUERRE

War, won or lost, is always a crime against humanity, wherever it happens, whenever it happens, and against whomever it is committed.

So let's put an end to it once and for all.

The engine of slavery is racism.

 BLACKER AND HARDER THAN EBONY, YOU’RE DEAD

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/blacker-and-harder-than-ebony-youre-dead-af7bf520b707?postPublishedType=initial

 


Is history a casino where, when “rien ne va plus,” no one can have any say on what is going to happen? The 19th century produced a vision of history in which the masses, luckily not isolated individuals, made history with the concept of the great evening, if not night, when everything was going to change, the whole plate of history and humanity would be washed away to let a completely new world emerge. That was difficult to conceive because would the people change overnight?

 

Then Marx and Engels came on the stage, and their vision of the socialist revolution was simple. The class struggle between the working class, the proletariat, the lumpenproletariat, the three being the same, those who work on machines they do not possess but are possessed by the second class, against which they have to fight to the death. Annihilate the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, known as capitalism, establish the dictatorship of the proletariat, eliminate all the bourgeoisie, each bourgeois after each bourgeois, and then here we are.

 

Naively provocative. In the USA, despite more than 150 years since their liberation, the Blacks, the ex-slaves, are still not equal despite all the fights and struggles of the blacks, of the proletariat, of even the loosely defined progressive class or forces.

 


Jacques Roumain was dreaming that such a big, great, powerful evening and night would have made all Blacks free and equal. It never came. Now and then, some struggle and a lot of victims, too often, lead to a slight progress, but equality and total freedom, of course not. Some whites are even dreaming of banning the teaching of slavery, segregation, racism, discrimination, and erasing black history from history textbooks. MAKE ASSES- GAGA AGAIN, you know MAGA

 

You'd better buy a new pair of boots. Many Asses are going to be kicked up and down, in and out, through and through. Better be well-equipped for the big ass-kicking festival.

 

Jacques Roumain n’a pas la résonance nécessaire à la qualité de son œuvre car il est presque introuvable en anglais et il est donc enfermé dans un ghetto linguistique, malgré une içn fluence lourde de l’anglais de son voisin du nord tant au niveau du lexique, souvent – mais mensongèrement – transparent du français à l’anglais au niveau du lexique et de l’utilisation du vers libre avec une recherche de martèlement du lecteur, ou mieux de l’auditeur. C’est une poésie profondément orale, verbale, faite pour le foirail. Son temps était le temps de la radio.

 


Jacques Roumain does not have the necessary resonance deserved by the quality of his work since he is almost unavailable in English, thus confining his works to a linguistic ghetto, despite a heavy influence from the English of his northern neighbor, both in terms of vocabulary—often, but deceptively, transparent from French to English—and in the use of free verse, with a deliberate attempt to hammer home the message to the reader, or rather, the listener. He is profoundly an oral, verbal poet, made for market squares and county fairs. His era was the age of radio.

I am like sure I will die before the Blacks are equal on this planet. And remember, many more people are not really free, who are enslaved for the pleasure of others. My namesake, Jacques Roumain, was an optimist.

Des clowns aux Vampires il n'y a qu'une mort qui les rassemble

 

LES HAUTS DE FRANCE ET LE MARXISME

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/les-hauts-de-france-et-le-marxisme-bcf8483a85db?postPublishedType=initial

 


La mort des uns et la survie des autres dictent le rythme de nos lendemains qui sont loin de tous vouloir chanter, et le rêve du bonheur demain est comme celui des coiffeurs qui rasent gratis. Cela n’est vrai que chez les farfelus, les hirsutes, les tout velus de toutes sortes qui vivent dans les pilosités comme pas mal de bestioles à quatre pattes.


 

Il me semble toujours étrange que l’on  puisse donner les noms de nos morts aux rues, places et avenues de nos villes ou de nos campagnes comme si les trépassés étaient capables de nous indiquer le chemin par lequel nous devons passer pour arriver là où nous voulons arriver, et c’est toujours tôt ou tard la même chose : se déplacer du lit au fauteuil et du fauteuil à l’urinoir. Tout sauf une chaise roulante qui n’est qu’une brouette à quatre roues. Je ne serai même pas dans l’inconfort si on en revenait à une charrette à bras.

 


C’est dans cet état d’esprit que l’on me demanda d’écrire un article nécrologique pour le philosophe Jacques Milhau qui avait quitté sa place de garde dans notre société mal gérée.

 

J’ai choisi de ne parler que de la période où je l’ai connu, 1976-1995, de centrer cette période sur mon travail culturel d’écriture et de diffusion des écrits du monde écrivant, et donc de pratiquement que des combats dans ce qui était alors le Nord Pas de Calais, autour de la création menés par le Syndicat National des Auteurs et- des Compositeurs, à l’époque encore membre de la CGT. Les choses ont bien changé, mais en ces temps anciens nous avons su sauver quelques meubles de style qui serviront à des générations futures dans des musées du mobilier des temps sombres de l’après-de-Gaulle, ou dans quelques bâtiments où ils continueront de se décomposer pour finir dans un siècle ou deux en poussière ligneuse.


Le reste n’est plus qu’un échange d’informations et de données. Notre monde a su survivre aux crises et s’apprête à découvrir un jour que l’histoire est une suite continue de données et que les contradictions sont comme les explosions du bientôt disparu moteur à explosion, et bon débarras. Alors nous commencerons à comprendre que la vie n’est vie que si elle compromet la mort toujours présente par le principe du changement toujours nécessaire. Philosophie bouddhiste incontournable.

My mother planted the sharp knife in the eye orbit of the rabbit hanging by the hind legs from the tree in the garden, and she extirpated the eye out of the socket and cut it off, and the blood started to run and collect in a bowl under the rabbit’s head. The rabbit did not move too much because she had stunned it with a log behind its head before starting the knife excision.

 

Explain to me why I loved the blood fried with parsley on a thin slice of bread. I more than liked it, I relished every single mouthful of it. But I completely lost this relishing one day when, on the street, I came across a man who had been shot four or five times, right in front of me. Blood everywhere, including on my pants, and a small gathering started to grow immediately, and soon enough, we were fifty, and we could have been even more if the cops had not arrived and disbanded the gang of voyeurs we were.

 

Since then, my liver has become sensitive about it, and a bitter taste of gall comes up in my stomach and up my throat. And this bitterness has become attractive, desired, necessary for me to finally be able to smile in front of blood and any being, including human beings, dying the good old male death, bathing in their own blood and some of their opponents. Blood is blood, isn’t it, and a cocktail of blood is the best mixture you can find in this world, dedicated to violence and torture, bliss and the death instinct.

 

But how dare you say that? All the censors, the moralizing accusers, and the ethical signposts on the road tell me, tell us, we may not in any way enjoy the real blood of a dying person cast on the street by some violent action. So, they invented comic books, comic films, literature, and even the cinema to give us the illusion of real blood, though we know it is only an illusion. And in this field, Clive Barker is one of the best, with the help of John Carpenter, and why not David Cronenberg?

 

And think of the Bible as a blood-flood book of nothing but blood, including that of Jesus.

Clive Barker is one of the best about thrilling an audience with the illusion of blood and torture. But is it really an illusion, deep in the mind?

The Beauty of Love Against Death

 

PEONY PAVILION, A MASTER PIECE.

DIVINES FOURBERIES DE LA MORT – ou – LOVE’S TOILING LOAD

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/peony-pavilion-a-masterpiece-76378b642cb0

 


I consider this opera a masterpiece, and the Kunqu opera genre is unique and should bring about a renewal in theatrical and operatic art ay world level. A much-needed renewal to creatively address the challenge of Artificial Intelligence. But this AI is an existential and spiritual challenge that we must face and resolve to our advantage. We might, perhaps, have to summon an Infernal Judge to pull us out of the impasse we are digging or burying ourselves into, creating ruts that will completely block us. Fortunately, electric motors cannot be flooded with fuel, gas, or diesel. There is a sense of humor in Kunqu opera that ultimately makes the dramatic architecture thrilling.

[…]

The opera spans three generations, but it is systematically based on earlier generations of poets and other famous figures, and above all, on the understanding that history is necessarily a phylogenetic accumulation of generations of actors and actresses. We cannot confront the modern world today without referring to the ancient eras that were crucial to historical phylogeny.

[…]

For about 25, perhaps 30 years, the Chinese have been engaged in rediscovering ancient forms of culture, and they are using this as a catalyst for social and cultural unity within diversity in China, and for a renaissance of classical, ancient, and modern forms of Chinese art targeting the world beyond China or its provinces. But this is not unique in Asia. Consider the return to ancient forms of culture in the Philippines, some frankly ante- or pre-colonial, encompassing languages, themes, and bodywork as well as costume. It is a renaissance, not a resurrection, because it was never utterly lost, of the traditional handcrafted loincloth as an artistic form of clothing for men. Women, on the other hand, retain traditional handcrafted costumes, but without the same level – far from it – of nudity as men. Currently, it has become a rapidly growing social activity, from primary school children (class projects being mandatory) to university students, and, apparently, even to professional adults in music, dance, and the heritage of old hunter-gatherer communities transitioning to agriculture many centuries ago. The 20th and 21st centuries in Asia are marked by the transformation of these regenerated and revitalized cultural forms into exportable, tourist-oriented cultural products. The resurgence of these cultural forms, which colonialism, as we know, would have liked, and even been able, to destroy, is like revenge from the history of peoples against the mad post-Columbian adventure. It makes you want to live another twenty years to see what it will be like, say in 2050. I will be one hundred and five years old then. I've already ordered the birthday cake. We just need to imagine what, in Livradois-Forez, the « bourrée sans culottes » could be.
