Closeted in a dusty room. With crust-ridden books as my savior from laziness.


I think we should give up. 

I dislike waiting for you to respond.
I dislike thinking and wanting you to respond.
Why do I wait? Why should I wait?
It is a neurological disorder.
It is called being stuck inside a system.
The state of mind called patriarchy.

Marx and India


Once India throws off the yoke... (p 85-86). Example of kind of thought or logic many thinkers and colonizers have at this time. 
In addition there is a desire to re-imagine India??

Marx is a kind of racist at the end. When he describes the indians as "slow" and being "calm" but perhaps not in a positive way. Marx suffers from a certain kind of depiction of the world and does not relate to the people of India in a direct sense. Rather he is a man who thinks he can acknowledge certain traits of India without actually being there 

---- he notes the British Administrators. He notes that there are people who are "taking advantage"of the Indian peoples.

Thinking on Escobar's class

Today I have a few ideas for what happens in Escobar's and Osterweil's lecture. I find that what I learn in these courses will be fruitful and lead me close to a better understanding of Latin American knowledge. For now I have a small, minute understanding of the material and want to learn more about this particular material.

I find myself very pleased by this interaction and want to contribute in a positive way to the group. For I find that the general knowledge of the course interesting, best to keep the material also relevant to the topics also discussed. ...I must keep them relevant to the large picture presented here. By the people in global 450.
