Boston Gives: The Lower Leg
There’s so much on which I’ve ruminated after the Boston Marathon bombings and still I feel a need…
2:49pm Monday April 15. I get a call on my cellphone that requires I drive as soon as I can to Massachusetts General Hospital’s (MGH) Emergency Department (ED). Luckily I am only about one mile away in a meeting at Harvard’s Innovation Lab reviewing the latest update to my company’s software…
A must-read first-hand account.
"
The source of numerous psychic disturbances and difficulties occasioned by man’s progressive alienation from his instinctual foundation, i.e., by his uprootedness and identification with his conscious knowledge of himself, by his concern with consciousness at the expense of the unconscious. The result is that modern man can know himself only in so far as he can become conscious of himself—his consciousness therefor orients itself chiefly by observing and investigating the world around him, and it is to its peculiarities that he must adapt his psychic and technical resources.
This task is so exacting, and its fulfillment so advantageous, that he forgets himself in the process, losing sight of his instinctual nature and putting his own conception of himself in place of his real being. In this way he slips imperceptibly into a purely conceptual world where the products of his conscious activity progressively replace reality. Separation from his instinctual nature inevitably plunges civilized man into the conflict between conscious and unconscious, spirit and nature, knowledge and faith, a split that becomes pathological the moment his consciousness is no longer able to neglect or suppress his instinctual side.
"— Carl Jung, from “The Undiscovered Self” (via heartbloodspirit)

The other day I was going about my business when I happened to read this moronic article explaining how advocating ‘risk management’ (barf) is not ‘victim blaming’.
I’ve read a lot of articles like this, but that one, for some…
