Kombinat!

"The world is not humane just because it is made by human beings, and
it does not become humane just because the human voice sounds in it,
but only when it has become the object of discourse […] We humanize

what is going on in the world and in ourselves only by speaking of it,
and in the course of speaking of it we learn to be human. The Greeks
called this humanness which is achieved in the discourse of friendship
philanthropia, ‘love of man’, since it manifests itself in a readiness
to share the world with other men."
- Hannah Arendt

Zygman Bauman quotes Hannah Arendt in an interview in EurozineKombinat! pulls that quote forward and owns it.  I follow his links and now I own it too.  We call this hypercapitalist theory.

The official blog of Kombinat! is here.  Today Kombinat! says:

Having No Unified Point of View is ART. Having Paradoxical Moments is
ART. Having Contradicting Arguments All VALID at the same time is ART.
Having NO ANSWER as ANSWER to Continuous Inquiry is ART. Having NO
FUTURE is ART. Having DOUBT is ART. Having PEACEFUL LIFE is ART. Having
CHILDREN is ART. Having CONFUSION about life and LOVING life is ART.
Having SEX is ART. Having NO OPINION is ART.

Go make some ART.

Kombinat! and Madame Levy got buried in the recent TypePad melt-down.  They have serious offerings regarding howBlog.  Skip down a few posts and read them!
