Read Goffman. Of course you know about him because he is part of the education system of the canadian state. People as PEGS is just like LaVey says. But LaVey emphasizes avoiding becoming a SHEEPLE. Also there is more to RIGHT OR MIGHT than being an iconoclast. Goffman discussing the cloak room and parking lot of all that is THE THEATRE is like THE GREAT OZ on the stool behind the curtain. PULL THE STRINGS! Bela says in the film ED WOOD. Logistics is the SUN TZU of Madison Avenue Advertising. In a consumer society control and order is maintained through the logistics of Marketing. Goffman having a stable upbringing and his own intellectual roots nurtured by liberal academia had an effect on his outlook. One has to return to ZERO in every thinking process to ensure validity of any thesis. The key to CHAOS in the universe is its FUZZY ORDER(*I just invented that title off the top of my head.). Remember what is chaos isn't. What is order isn't. Same for good and evil. Subtle as hidden clues in a painting. Ross. Keep looking for THE NEW in all of your library of favorites and then use them as building blocks for your own approach to the DIALECTIC. The truly most sought after mind is the EDISON and FORD in every field. Stick with all of your favorite EGGHEADS. Once you realize that they are EGGHEADS and SOFT BOILED you can appreciate them even more. You have to approach everything in a childlike way in order to acquire the magick of REALIZATION. Demographics render social and political theories NULL AND VOID the minute the demographic changes. Because each new tribe brings its own nuiances and mores. I think you should seek as much information on antedotes from Goffman's personal life. The stupid things he did or liked. This brings insight to any value he brought. Academia is a toilet filled with constipated minds. Like art. The art world despises the new. Like an old grandma refusing to BANK if her TELLER has the day off.
