It might be difficult to tell the color if reducing light pollution:
ReplyDeletePARIS (Reuters) - French shops and office buildings will have to turn off their lights at night to save energy and reduce light pollution, the French environment ministry said on Wednesday....
Just following the theme... ;)
ReplyDeleteFYI:
ReplyDelete"... Among [Zizek's] early influences was the Slovenian Marxist philosopher Božidar Debenjak who introduced the thought of the Frankfurt School to Slovenia.[10] Debenjak taught the philosophy of German idealism at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana, and his reading of Marx's Das Kapital from the perspective of Hegel's Phenomenology of the Mind influenced many future Slovenian philosophers, including Žižek ...
"In 1973, after Josip Broz Tito and Stane Dolanc removed the reformist Slovenian leadership and the regime's policies toughened again, he was dismissed after his Master's thesis was explicitly accused of being "non-Marxist".[12] He spent the next few years undertaking national service in the Yugoslav army in Karlovac.

I normally find Marxist's to be insufferable bores, but I am very fond of Slavoj... he's a brilliant mind. I think it's the "Lacanian" in him that I admire, much as I admired the "Freudian" in Herbert Marcuse. The Marxist side, I toss out with the trash. ;)
ReplyDeleteReally, FT, reaching into the sewer for your material two days in a row is a bit much, don't you think?
