From the page:
"The pundits keep chanting that we need a more highly skilled workforce, by which they mean more college graduates, although the connection between college and skills is not always crystal clear. And how about all those business majors - business being the most popular undergraduate major in America? It seems to me that a two-year course in math and writing skills should be more than sufficient to prepare someone for a career in banking, marketing, or management.
"My theory is that employers prefer college grads because they see a college degree chiefly as mark of one's ability to obey and conform. Whatever else you learn in college, you learn to sit still for long periods while appearing to be awake. And whatever else you do in a white collar job, most of the time you'll be sitting and feigning attention. Sitting still for hours on end--whether in library carrels or office cubicles--does not come naturally to humans. It must be learned.
"Or maybe what attracts employers to college grads is the scent of desperation. Unless your parents are rich and doting, you will walk away from commencement with a debt averaging $20,000 and no health insurance. Employers can safely bet that you will not be a trouble-maker, a whistle-blower or any other form of non-'team-player.' You will do anything. You will grovel."

"It is his will which assembles a sorceror, but as his old age makes him feeble his will wanes and a moment unavoidably comes when he is no longer capable of commanding his will. He then has nothing with which to oppose the silent force of his death, and his life becomes like the lives of all his fellow men, an expanding fog moving beyond all limits."
--don Juan Matus,
quoted by Carlos Castaneda

My page is getting too text-heavy so here's a picture of a bonobo doing her morning calisthenics. Bonobos are closely related to chimpanzees, but they are kinder, gentler and more sexually liberated than their cousins the chimps. If enough bonobos resided in the United States to form a sizeable voting constituency, they would almost certainly turn the tide in favor of the Democrats. Bonobos and chimpanzees are humanity's closest living relatives.

From the page: "There is, indeed, a globalizing class, and hundreds of millions of human beings share the consumer tastes that announce their membership. Such people may well be more at home with foreigners of their own cultural stratum than with their less fortunate countrymen. For the upper-tier of these new aristocrats of globalization, place of residence and citizenship are matters of convenience, tastes, and tax codes. This is a nobility with no sense of responsibility to the serfs, and its members are shielded as never before from life's inconveniences.
"For the billions remaining, globalization and its consort, the information revolution, merely open a window into an exclusive shop they are not allowed to enter. The new awareness of the wealth of others is hardly pacifying. On the contrary, it excites the conviction that they can only be so rich because they stole what was ours.
"The uneven ability to digest the feast of information suddenly available even in the globe's backwaters doesn't bring humanity together. Rather, it disorients those whose lives previously had been ordered, and creates a sense simultaneously of being cheated of previously unimagined possibilities while having one's essential verities challenged. Feeling helpless and besieged, the victim of globalization turns to the comfort of explanatory, fundamentalist religion or a xenophobia that assures him that, for all his material wants, he is nonetheless superior to others."
