we do need to revisit the wording of "you can't have your cake and eat it too" because i don't think it clearly enough conveys that it's more that you can't simultaneously retain a cake and also get to consume it (which would render you cakeless). for years i was like But why not....it's my cake....?

Rousseau VS Robespierre’s dad in a Worst Father Ever contest?

Asking the right question here. Let the people decide!

Propaganda:

1. François de Robespierre

The epitome of a dead-beat dad

Abandoned his 4 children not long after their mother died in childbirth and never returned

Possibly left the eldest son traumatised by feeling like he has to assume responsibility for his siblings

2. Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Had his mistress give up all the 5 children they had together and put them into an orphanage right after giving birth

Said he had 'no other choice' despite the fact that he stayed with the children's mother long after that and eventually ended up marrying her anyway

Didn't agree on having the children adopted by his benefactress instead of giving them to the orphanage

After the first one, he didn't leave the children with a monogram so he could potentially take them back after his material conditions improved

Said that he felt guilty about what he has done but that the real villain of the story were his friends who shared the information with the public

Ended up writing a hugely influential book on how to best raise children and see to their education (later claimed that he 'almost confessed' to the orphanage story in Émile itself though)

If anyone tries to tell you that Shakespeare is stuffy or boring or highbrow, just remember that the word “nothing” was used in Elizabethan era slang as a euphemism for “vagina”. 

Shakespeare has a play called “Much Ado About Nothing”, which you could basically read in modern slang as “Freaking Out Over Pussy”. And that’s pretty much exactly what happens in the play.

anthro matters // chapter one

key quotes

The role of an ethnographer is to learn and understand as best he or she can the symbols and concepts that have meaning to members of a culture, and then convey this understanding to others. (pg. 4)

Applied anthropology makes anthropology relevant in the real world. It is putting to practical use the knowledge hiding in ethnographies. (pg. 11)

thoughts

Anthropology, at least the way I am drawn to it, is activism through academia. Like, the intent is to take all that's been learned through fieldwork and other research in order to foster understanding and peace within and between cultures. Yes, there's far more academic knowledge than applied, but still. That's one of the big goals, hey?
