We in the #BetaCodex Network do not deal in absolutes. We deal in distinctions, or "differences that make a difference."

This will sadly never get old .. in our corporate mass mediated times. Stay on your toes peeps! #psychomedia #analysis #bateson #goffman #manufacturingconsent etc... and of course not just a western media / propaganda problem.

Choosing that title and not citing G. #Bateson, ouch!

I think the single most important person to read in order to be able to understand a _vast_ swathe of current cultural anthropology is Gregory #Bateson, and I wish he were read more than he is. I’ve dreamt about teaching a seminar that starts with cybernetics, goes through Bateson, and lands in a variety of theoretical standpoints. Structuralism, linguistic anth, anthropology of ethics (and a good chunk of work on religion, ritual), Actor-Network Theory, and a lot of “French” theory.

In the 1954 “Der göttliche Schelm” (the divine prankster), C.G. Jung wrote that “the so-called civilized man has forgotten the trickster.” I propose that the trickster, prankster, jester, or German Schelm, is less forgotten than misplaced. 1/7 [#cgjung #divine #schelm #trickster #prankster #jester #naven #bateson] 🧵
