"Let It be Known" - April 2025

There was nothing preventing everyday people, citizens of the nation, even those too young to vote... from using social media systems to organize a manifesto or schema of ideas and propose "Jon Doe's Ideas for USA society version 0.1".

Rally around ??

Michael Moore I feel went above and beyond Sicko is a 2007 American political documentary film by filmmaker Michael Moore. Investigating health care in the United States, the film focuses on the country's health insurance and the pharmaceutical industry. Moore compares the for-profit non-universal U.S. system with the non-profit universal health care systems of Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Cuba. Produced on a roughly $9 million budget and is the kind of fat loud-mouth American that we could have promoted and taken more seriously than the kind of fat loud-moth American "Donald Trump" values. Michael Moore even was a good capitalist and profited off that film. Also noteworthy, that only a few years after that film a significant book was released in 2010 by less comedy-oriented academics, a law professor. The title of that book was briefly famous in December 2024 by a Reddit user who could not get his society manifesto to the front page of social media systems without dramatic Manhattan violence.

“How teach again, however, what has been taught correctly and incorrectly learned a thousand thousand times, throughout the millenniums of mankind’s prudent folly? That is the hero’s ultimate difficult task. How render back into light-world language the speech-defying pronouncements of the dark? How represent on a two-dimensional surface a three-dimensional form, or in a three-dimensional image a multi-dimensional meaning?" /...\ "Many failures attest to the difficulties of this life-affirmative threshold.” ― Joseph Campbell (Sarah Lawrence College for women), The Hero With a Thousand Faces, 1949

Noteworthy: Joseph Campbell married one of his own students on May 5, 1938, Jean Erdman. This was 364 days before the May 4, 1939 final publication of Finnegans Wake. Both took a keen interest in James Joyce. Jean Erdman created the excellent Finnegans Wake Dance "The Coach with the Six Insides", a couple of Joyceans! Jean Erdman died May 4, 2020 at the age of 104. !JamesJoyceExperience@lemm.ee
