Economics is about VALUE.
Politics is about POWER.
But VALUE is not necessarily always all about POWER.
POWER always means power OVER something, doesn't it?

EXEMPLAR HUMANAE VITAE - SPECIMEN OF A HUMAN LIFE. I am not really a sofa. But I try to be a filosofa. This is the parent blog of my other blogs which all began here, and which in totality constitute the views of an urban peasant living in London. Including some thoughts on politics, psychology, religion, employment and education. And a little humour. I am a rationalist, a humanist and an atheist and I write from a green/socialist/libertarian perspective.

Zizek on "The Hurt Locker"
"In its very invisibility, ideology is here, more than ever: we are there, with our boys, identifying with their fear and anguish instead of questioning what they are doing there."
Zizek on "The Hurt Locker."
Maybe so.
But I don't even think this film was good enough to actually be theorised about. (Joke).

The World's 20 Worst Universities
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/the-big-question-is-britains-international-ranking-in-higher-education-likely-to-fall-1923665.html
"Is "Britain"'s international ranking in higher education likely to fall?"
What ranking? For a start, Cambridge and Oxford STILL give out FAKE DEGREES.
The Independent today published a list of the "world's 20 best universities" - see link above.
I think these universities are probably the world's 20 worst universities.
And I reserve my right to make this comment seeing as it is probably just as absurd as saying they are the world's 20 best universities.
This shows breathtaking Anglo-American cultural imperialism and arrogance.
I do of course see some signs of evidence to the contrary.
Now that such places are ENTIRELY fee-paying - they are liable to be not concerned with anything much other than the student's ability to pay.
They are like International "finishing schools"....
