The True First World War was the European Invasion (... colonization, appropriation, theft) perpetrated on non Europeans.

I stated in a previous blog post that FACTICITY IS PARAMOUNT in regard to Existential Philosophy. Existentialism is in agreement with C. G. Jung's writings and conclusions concerning the fundamental importance of INDIVIDUATION. The process of Individuation leads to the singularity of personality (exclusivity... no one else can be me, as no one else can be you) which is Jean Paul Sartre's "being for itself". Jean Paul Sartre's pronouncement that hell is other people is fact if you accept the high degree of probability that there is no god or that there is no GOD.

I was almost six years old when the educational conditioning commenced. Universal Roman Catholic Church indoctrination was attempted throughout my primary and secondary education by negative reinforcement... namely physical pain. Joseph Campbell relates how pervasive and intense this indoctrination was for him when he states that someone who is not brought up in the catholic faith would have difficulty relating to its impact. I have no knowledge of what he experienced or the context of the local physical environment in which his early education took place except to state that I presume it was more affluent that the physical environment of my early education. My undergraduate education occurred in Quebec where the provincial educational system was catholic and others... (mostly Jews and Protestants at the time) were educated in a separate education system. It might be an exaggeration to categorize the locality of my early existence as a ghetto and it might be an insult to those humans who factually survived ghetto existence but I am confident in stating that it was lower middle class, at best. (It is the same locality where Leonard Cohen experienced his early existence ten to fifteen years before me... St. Urban and Pine.) I often wonder what Joseph Campbell felt about the infallibility of the pope? At six, seven, eight, years old what does one understand of god and infallibility? I can tell you what a six, seven or eight years understands...: being hit. When I attended elementary school, not only the principal but teachers applied corporal punishment frequently.

It was when I experienced University Education that I realized the beauty of true education. Whereas I might have been aware of Noam Chomsky before entering graduate school, it was in graduate school that I came to appreciate the genius of this Human. 

I consider him to be the greatest living scientist on this pathetic planet x. In regards to Humans and Humanity his contributions far out cede those of Einstein, Oppenheimer or Teller.
