PROFESSOR POSTS HIS WISH FOR WHITES: “LET THEM F**KING DIE!”

Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut is another fine illustration of the contemporary state of Higher Education.  Johnny Eric Williams, a professor in its sociology department, is among the reasons why it enjoys this distinction.

On June 18, Williams—a black man—posted some blatantly anti-white remarks on his Facebook wall.  Supposedly, after they went viral, Trinity and Williams were besieged with threats. Such was the alleged intensity and nature of the threats that administrators closed campus on the day of June 21.

Williams, for his part, maintains that he never meant for his remarks to be made public and that he was deliberately misconstrued by “conservative” sites.

You be the judge of this.

Below are two of Williams’ posts from June 18. The first reads:

“It is past time for the racially oppressed to do what people who believe themselves to be ‘white’ will not do, put [an] end to the vectors of their destructive mythology of whiteness and their white supremacy system. #LetThemFuckingDie.

And then there was the second:

“I’m fed the fuck up with self identified ‘white’s’ daily violence directed at immigrants, Muslims, and sexual and racially oppressed people.  The time is now to confront these inhuman assholes and end this now.”

On June 16, Williams shared on his page an article from the Medium.  The essay’s title is: “Let Them Fucking Die.”

The author, “Son of Baldwin,” prefaces his own remarks with a quotation from a Fusion piece that references the mass shooting of Republican Congressman Steve Scalise and his colleagues in Alexandria, Virginia.  The article notes “the irony” that Scalise, a person who “kept company with racists” and “white supremacists” and who is “one of the most anti-LGBTQ politicians in Washington,” “may owe his life to a queer black woman.”

Son of Baldwin expresses his frustration over what this episode “symbolizes.”  He asks: “What does it mean, in general, when victims of bigotry save the lives of bigots?”

The author launches into a rant that, in addition to being replete with lies, fallacies, and inaccuracies, suffers from a painfully conspicuous lack of originality.  We have all heard this tirade before, tirelessly, for decades.  It is the cardinal dogma of what I have elsewhere referred to as “Blackism,” precisely that ideology designed to grant instant racial “authenticity” to any and all blacks who affirm it:

Blacks are perpetual victims of perpetual White Oppression.

Son of Baldwin is clear as to the course of action that blacks who are in a position to help white “bigots” should take. His position is boldfaced type:

“Let. Them. Fucking. Die.”

But don’t just do this.  Blacks should “smile a bit” when they let white “bigots” die, for they “have done the universe a great service.”

And in case there is any ambiguity as to when, exactly, blacks should allow white “bigots” to die, Son of Baldwin tries his best to dispel it in advance.

“If you see them drowning,” “in a burning building,” “teetering on the edge of a cliff,” or if “their ships are sinking,” “their planes are crashing,” or “their cars are skidding,” blacks should smile as they let these white “bigots” die.

Bear in mind that while Son of Baldwin’s focus on white bigots would seem to suggest that he is not referring to all white people, it is a certitude to anyone familiar with Blackist newspeak, the rhetoric of “white supremacy,” “institutional racism,” “white supremacy” and the like—rhetoric, not incidentally, that both Son of Baldwin and Johnny Eric Williams espouse—that all white people are “bigoted.”

Son of Baldwin underscores this interpretation when he writes about “white/cisgender/heterosexuals who practice bigotry (or do not believe they practice bigotry even when they do)” (emphasis added) [.]”

This is article that Professor Williams shared.

Ever since Williams became the focal point of this controversy, he has maintained that he does not endorse allowing individual whites to die. Rather, it is for the death of a system of “white supremacy” that he calls.

“I’m calling for the death of a system, white supremacy, not the death of white people.”

The President of Trinity College, Joanne Berger-Sweeney, condemned Williams’ use of the hashtag, “LetThemFuckingDie,” as “reprehensible and, at the very least, in poor judgment.” She added that, “No matter its intent, it goes against our fundamental values as an institution [.]”  Before proceeding further, she has turned the matter over to the Dean of the Faculty to determine whether any college “procedures or policies were broken.”

Two Connecticut politicians, Republican House Leader Themis Klarides and state Senator George Logan, both Trinity graduates, wrote a letter to Berger-Sweeney imploring her to terminate Williams immediately.   “We are calling upon the school to immediately, and permanently, remove Mr. Williams from the ranks of the school’s faculty,” they state.

Perhaps Professor Williams is sincere when he insists that it is not the demise of individual whites, but, rather, that of a system that he wants to see die.  Judging from the quality, both stylistic and substantive, of his social media posts, this is a distinct possibility.  It is a distinct possibility that Williams is genuinely as intellectually inept as someone would have to be not to recognize that, grammatically and logically, his posts can only be read as a call for allowing white “bigots,” “ignorant assholes,” i.e. a plurality of beings, not a single “system,” to die.

The other option is that Williams is a coward and a liar who is now retreating from his initial position because of the backlash to it. Williams very well may be receiving the shock of his life in being made to realize that it isn’t just black leftist SJWs that can get angry, that when people understandably think that someone is calling for their deaths, they will call for the same in return.

At any rate, decent people must condemn the threats of violence against Williams that are now allegedly being made against him.  I for one won’t even call for his termination.  This, though, is only because Williams is but a symptom of a much larger system that has long since gone to the bad.

For sure, there remain many committed college instructors who care deeply about supplying their students with a genuine liberal arts education.  And, to be fair, many, possibly most, of these are liberal-left. Yet, regrettably, the Johnny Williams of the academy are legion.  The only difference between Williams and the untold numbers of humanities professors at colleges and universities throughout the country is that Williams got caught for expressing his anti-white vision.

Removing him would be like removing one cockroach from an infestation and thinking that the problem is solved.

The pressure that is now being brought upon Williams must be brought by the public upon the whole Academic Industrial Complex, for Williams’ view is but a variant of the intellectually vapid and morally toxic ideology that dominates academia today.

Another Year Comes to a Close

On Friday, May 5th, events began which marked the closure of yet another momentous academic year at AMU. This past year saw AMU professors publishing books and articles in peer-reviewed journals, student groups traveling to conferences at other colleges and universities, academic departments and student clubs hosting panels, conferences and symposiums, faculty being honored at home and abroad, and prestigious guest lecturers visiting campus.

Academic Year Round Up 

Among the notable faculty publications of the past year, there was the release of Dr. Denise McNulty’s innovative nursing textbook, the publication of Dr. Travis Curtright’s latest book on Shakespeare, and the appearance of Dr. Michael Breidenbach’s essay, “Conciliarism and the American Founding,” in The William and Mary Quarterly. Not to mention the collection of essays, Wisdom and the Renewal of Catholic Theology, written in honor of Fr. Matthew Lamb, who founded AMU’s graduate programs in Theology. The essays were co-edited by AMU professor Dr. Roger Nutt, and multiple other AMU professors and graduates contributed to the work.

This past year also saw groups of students traveling to conferences and events at other universities, such as the Anscombe Society’s trip to the Love and Fidelity Network’s annual conference at Princeton, the Michael Novak Diplomacy Club’s participation in Harvard’s National Model United Nations, the group of students who received a grant to attend the Center for Ethics and Culture at the University of Notre Dame’s 17th annual conference, and the Thomas More Debate Club’s invitation to compete in the 2017 Values & Capitalism National Parliamentary Debate Association at Colorado Christian University. On a similar note, a group of twelve music majors had the opportunity to perform with Opera Naples in a semi-staged production of Puccini’s Turandot.

There were many conferences held on campus as well, including two in honor of the “Year for Mother”—a yearlong celebration of Mother Teresa’s canonization—namely, the Aquinas Center’s conference on “Mother Teresa and the Mystics,” and the Mother Teresa Project’s conference on adoption and foster care. Instructor of Modern Language, Dayami Abella, organized a conference on Cuban Science Fiction and Fantasy, which involved creative writing workshops, attendance at a poetry recitation and a field trip to the International Book Fair in Miami. The History Department hosted a mini-symposium on medieval charters, the student club Genuine Feminine held its seventh annual conference on synergy between man and woman, and the ISI Society, the James Madison Institute, and the Henkels Lecture Fund jointly sponsored a panel (featuring Catholic University of America’s Dr. Catherine Pakaluk, the Acton Institute’s Dr. Samuel Gregg, and AMU’s own Drs. Michael Breidenbach and Gabriel Martinez) on the late Ambassador Michael Novak’s contribution to Western thought.

Some of the notable speakers that came to campus for lectures and addresses include Dr. Jeremy Bailey from the University of Houston, who delivered the Constitution Day address, Fr. Patrick Madigan, editor of the Heythrop Journal in London, England, who was the fall semester Honors Colloquium Speaker, and the spring Honors Colloquium speaker, Danielle Pletka, Senior Vice President for Foreign and Defense Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). Over the course of the academic year, students also had the opportunity to hear from renowned theologian Dr. Scott Hahn, clinical neuropsychologist Dr. Paul Nussbaum, Holocaust survivor Peiter Kohnstram, Dr. J. Budziszewski, Professor of Government and Philosophy at the University of Texas in Austin, Stefan Gehrold, Head of the European Office of the Konrad-Adenauer Foundation, and retired U.S. Army colonel H. Donald Capps—to name just a few. The year opened with a Convocation Address from speaker Dr. Robert Kennedy, Professor and Chair of the Department of Catholic Studies at the University of St. Thomas, and the year closed with a Commencement Address from Mr. Daniel A. D’Aniello, co-founder and Chairman of The Carlyle Group.

This past academic year was also one of individual achievement among the faculty and students. Four professors (Drs. Baxa, Nutt, Scheck and Trabbic) were honored at the AMU Christmas party for ten years of dedication to teaching and guiding AMU students. Dr. Steven Long (Theology) was appointed to the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas, while Dr. Travis Curtright (Humanities and Literature) was named Editor of the journal Moreana. To pick out some remarkable achievements from among the students, music major Eileen Plunkett won the Southwest Florida Symphony Society Scholarship, while Kathleen Kelly was one of two individuals across the country to earn a perfect score for the advanced level of the Classical Association of the Middle West and South (CAMWS) Latin translation contest.

Things wound up before they wound down

The year was packed full with academic events, but as is so often the case, things came to a climax before they wound down to a close. As the University community entered the last week of classes, the Shakespeare in Performance troupe was still going strong with its 2017 production of Love’s Labours Lost. Music majors were giving their senior recitals, the Chamber Music class held its end-of-the-year concert, Rhetoric students offered the public orations marking the end of their course, theology graduate students were defending their Master’s theses, while graduating seniors were delivering their own required thesis presentations. Some students took a break for “Art in the Park” outside the library, but even more students were inside the library, glued to their books, making last preparations for their final exams.

The President’s Dinner

The whirlwind continued through finals week, culminating in graduation weekend. On Friday, May 5th, Bishop Frank Dewane celebrated the Baccalaureate Mass in Ave Maria Catholic Church. Following Mass, graduating seniors with their friends and families headed down the academic mall for the President’s Dinner, where they heard from the 2017 Faculty Speaker, Dr. Travis Curtright. As the seniors prepared to begin life after college, Dr. Curtright challenged them with the question of how they will, like actors, take on new roles throughout their life while remaining the same self. Looking to the example of St. Thomas More, Curtright suggested:

As an Ave Maria graduate, like the Man for All Seasons, you will become something of a character actor… Character actors are those who specialize in performing what are considered to be unusual or unique traits. And perhaps, as young men and women of charity, conscience and integrity, you will strike [many] as rare indeed. For such rarity, I thank you.

During the President’s Dinner, the five senior finalists (Victoria Antram, Clare Eckard, Josephine Hartney, Michael O’Donnell, Hanna Sternhagen) for the President’s Award were invited on stage and recognized for their academic accomplishments, involvement in the life of the University, service to others, and exemplification of AMU’s highest Catholic ideals. The honor was awarded to Mike O’Donnell, who goes on to teach at nearby Donahue Academy next year.

Alumni Reunion Weekend

After the President’s Dinner, many seniors headed over to the local Oil Well Craft Beer, where they joined AMU alumni kicking off the 2017 Alumni Reunion Weekend. Many of the alumni present had younger siblings graduating. The next morning, AMU alumni continued to celebrate and reconnect over brunch while graduating seniors began lining up in the Golisano Field House for Commencement Exercises.

Commencement 2017

Saturday, May 6, was a typical morning in Southwest Florida: sunny and bright with a light breeze. Inside the Golisano Field House, the members of the graduating Class of 2017 gathered to receive their diplomas.

Once all were assembled, Dr. Seana Sugrue, Vice President for Academic Affairs, offered a welcome address. She was followed by Fr. Matthew Lamb, who said the opening prayer. Graduating senior and music major Anna Kunza sang the National Anthem before President Towey introduced the 2017 commencement speaker, Mr. Daniel D’Aniello.

Daniel D’Aniello, Co-founder and Chairman of The Carlyle Group, a global alternative asset management firm, began his address to the graduating seniors by remarking on how proud they must be “to be graduating from one of the finest Catholic universities in the country, and maybe in the world.” Going on, he drew an analogy based on his experience in the investment world: The graduates had, he said, spent the last four years “investing” in themselves. Now, they must face the “hard work” of closing the deal of their college education.

As the Class of 2017 navigates the difficult task of managing their investment in their education to a fruitful outcome, D’Aniello offered them some advice:

Be not afraid. “[F]rom time to time, you’ll be challenged for your beliefs. And that’s when your Christian formation will give you the most strength—the courage of your convictions to be an unwavering defender of the faith. Of course these occasions won’t be easy, nor comfortable. But always remember that you have a course of saints behind you.”

Follow your conscience. “Your moral compass…is all-important as you negotiate and navigate unchartered waters of building your personal and professional career in the secular world. We live in an age of moral ambiguity and relativism, where we’re rarely called upon to make stark choices between right and wrong. Rather, we constantly and covertly are pressured to give in to what is popular, socially trendy, or politically correct. This is particularly true when the compromises seem trivial or inconsequential. So remember what St. Teresa of Calcutta told us: ‘Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.’”

…But also depend upon good advice. “Keep in mind that the world makes it easy to talk yourself into decisions that you know may not be right. So, listen to your conscience. Yes, listen to it, but don’t let it play tricks on you. Stay close to the safe harbor of trusted friends, family, mentors, for advice you can depend on when confronted with the really hard choices and the close calls in life.”

Foster a spirit of gratitude. “I ask that each of you take time to reflect with love and appreciation on those in your life you have supported you, who have been there for you in good times and bad, and whose dreams are being fulfilled today by your great achievement.”

Let gratitude inspire you to give back. “If you leave with one thought on this graduation day, it would be this: I hope that you will find a way to turn your appreciation for what has been given to you into the inspiration toward helping others, including your family and friends, your communities of faith, the poor in corporal needs, the poor in spirit. In the end our personal relationships are the most important thing we have in this world. And none more important than our relationship with Jesus Christ.”

Real success is in striving for holiness. “The focus on materialism perpetrates the myth that success means career success… Yes, it’s great to have a fulfilling professional life. And yes, we can all prosper together. But success in life might best be defined in non-economic terms. Having a loving family, a wonderful marriage, trusted friends. Definitions of success are as unique as each person in this room today. St. Francis de Sales said it best when he said, ‘Be who you are, and strive to be that perfectly.’ And in doing so, be guided by the words of Leon Bloy: ‘The only real failure in life is not to become a saint.’”

D’Aniello concluded his address by urging the Class of 2017 to use their talents in pursuing their dreams, but to do so with humility and faith. That is the formula for true success as witnesses to the truth and beacons of light. “We need you,” he said, “and we know you’re up to the challenge. [T]rust that you’re not alone.”

Valedictorian Address

The privilege of valedictorian was shared ex aequo by Linwood Richard Schwartz (Philosophy) and Kathryn S. Van de Loo (Classics and Early Christian Literature). Dr. Bradley Ritter introduced Kate, who was honored to give the 2017 Valedictorian Address. “I have personally noticed in her an intense curiosity of the best intellectual kind, a strict clarity of thought, and the tenacity which can produce research of real merit,” Dr. Ritter said. “But if I may add on another personal note, she balances that intellectual seriousness with kindness, charity, and tremendous warmth.”

Kate, who earned the Classics Departmental Award and goes on to a Master’s program in Classical Studies at the University of Notre Dame, recalled in her address the many experiences of the past four years—enjoying the natural beauty of Florida, theatrical student performances, spontaneous game nights, late nights studying, and serious discussions among friends—experiences that, although simple, were meaningful because of the people with which they were shared. “Of all the gifts that have filled my life during the last few years, it’s the people I’ll remember the most,” Kate said. “So as I set out from here, it is my goal to be attentive to the people I encounter and to grow in gratitude for them—not just after the fact, but even as I share moments with them, that I might learn from St. Teresa of Calcutta to recognize Christ in each one, and to love Christ in each one.” With these thoughts echoing in their hearts and minds, the graduating seniors exited the Field House and went on to celebrate in gratitude with family and friends.

Saturday, May 6, 2017 marked Ave Maria University’s thirteenth commencement, and it was a milestone in this Catholic institution’s history. In the tenth year on its permanent campus, which also coincided with Founder Tom Monaghan’s 80th birthday, Ave Maria University saw its first graduating class of nursing students, and the largest class of total graduates (232 diplomas were bestowed: 217 undergraduate, 13 master’s, and 2 doctorate).

It was a momentous year at AMU, and, as Fr. Robert Garrity prayed in the benediction: 

May the Lord guide us and direct our journey in safety. May the Lord be our companion along the way. May the Lord grant that the journey we begin, relying on him, will end happily through his protection.  Amen

[oral-history]

Erkki Kurenniemi (1941-2017),  a pioneer of electronic music, technological inventions and imaginaries, has passed away. He can be characterised by lists that catalogue his interests and skills, lists that are eclectic, fragmented but also about enthusiastic curiosity: a filmmaker, creative music technologist, roboticist, tinkerer as well as “perennial dissident” (as Erkki Huhtamo quipped). He was of the generation who used computers before they became personal; computers were odd experimental machines found at university departments and sometimes banks. Perhaps part of the trick was also to remind oneself of computers as something you could build yourself, and use for all sorts of wrong purposes. The Finnish technologist recorded his life with the meticulous intent of an admistrative worker, a scribe – notebooks, audio recordings, video clips, collections of ephemera. A large part of Kurenniemi’s life was a sort of durational performance art piece that aimed to gather bits of human life, memorabilia, towards the point (around 2048) at which computational capacities are efficient enough to model and simulate human life. He also took the liberty to write his own premature obituary: “Oh, Human Fart” some 13 years before his actual death. The text starts like this: “I was five when the ENIAC electronic computer was started. During the fifties, as a schoolboy, I read about computers and electronic music. Max Mathews used the computer to generate music. With my father, I visited the Bull computer factory in Fance and I was sold.” In many ways, Kurenniemi himself wrote what others should write and think about him. After that self-defined ur-scene, many devices, sounds and ideas followed like the Dimi-series of synthetizers where in some cases also touch and movement became sound. Kurenniemi’s way of narrating his own life emphasises the role of technology, which is not a surprise. One can say that he is a symptom of the particular period, the post-World War II and Cold War age of computer technologies, experimental technological arts, as well as the  discourse of cyborgs and the technological singularity. But all this was also situated in the more mundane the entry of technologies in institutions: university departments, companies, socio-technical infrastructures from telephony to gaming to automation of factory production. Kurenniemi’s work became a reference point that was rethought, reinvented, remixed, and re-performed in various contexts in electronic music. It was not merely to be replayed but acted as a reference point and as a resource for experiments. Florian Hecker discussed Kurenniemi’s work also as part of the wider culture of experiments in sound from Cage to Xenakis: “Kurenniemi showed progression from one register to the next, the period of his musical instruments was followed by a study of tuning systems and theoretical conceptions on neural networks; it’s essential to do something else with all that material, rather than a mere scholarly reactivation or reorganization.” Cue in, Pan Sonic with Kurenniemi. From sounds and performance to contemporary art, Kurenniemi’s work has been featured in various exhibitions, including at dOCUMENTA (13), Kunsthall Aarhus and Kiasma in Helsinki. His archival project can be perceived as an archival fever that was partly triggered as part of digital culture. However for Kurenniemi, this was always in the context of imagining the coming AI future but without the fallacy that this machine intelligence would be humanlike. Why would it want to model and imitate something so “slow, imprecise, forgetful, and easily fatigued” (Kurenniemi’s words)? Kurenniemi’s vision of the future was based on I.B.N.: info, bio, nano, the three defining scales of social change.  The future did not match particularly well with the human form or size. Oh human fart. Reading Kurenniemi’s life, try approaching it as rewind and fast forward. Time-axis manipulation: backwards, he is part of a cultural history of computing, of early computer experiments with visual arts such as computer animations; and then the other way, he is also a forward-dreaming, sometimes hallucinating, writer of the imaginary of a technological next step that takes a singular turn. A switch. Electronics are the backbone of this imaginary, both as visuals and as sounds, but despite his seemingly at times focused vision of the coming quantum computer future, perhaps it was never  exactly sure even to him as to what was to come: perhaps these ideas, snippets, machines, were all little probes into what is possible? Of course, he was convinced that certain technological advances will happen but perhaps as interesting as the wild imaginaries were the ways in which he worked closely with machines throughout his life, as one sort of a companion to his own meat-based existence. It was not merely about knowing what’s coming but experimenting about how to know what’s to come and educating that sort of a way of thinking to others too. There’s of course a strong hint of the particular optimism that characterised the spectacles of technology in the 1950s and 1960s in the US and Europe as well. The Eames Office was offering its own version of the visual communication in the age of information and many other institutions from MIT to AT&T, EAT, etc. participated in the new institutional entry of technological arts as part of world fairs and other events. The avant-garde was – and has since been – closer to the corporations of technology so that it became perceived as a natural step Silicon Valley took over the role of offering imaginaries of technological future. But sometimes instead of elon musks, it’s more interesting to read the erkki kurenniemis and their much earlier visions that are not solely a corporate fantasy brand line or a TED talk. Sometimes it is more interesting to look at what was going on in the seeming peripheries, like the Nordic countries, to get a sense of a slightly alternative way to understand this story, rewinding and fast-forward. After Kurenniemi’s death, what’s left is a collection of his recordings and other materials, housed at the Central Art Archives of the Finnish National Gallery. It is a mixed collection of technological dreaming that at times seemed more interesting when it was not focused on trying to invent a new thing but just speculating, like this one sound recording of Kurenniemi’s. This is where the technological imaginary does not follow a straight geometric line, but goes off on a tangent and towards escape velocity. “(00:00:00) (Click click, radio signal, blows in the microphone five times, click, blow) One, two, three, puppadadud. Fuck, fuck, fuck, this is sensitive. There we go. (blow) Yeah, a dreaming computer… will be the last human invention. Well not the last one, but… the last invention. Because a dreaming computer will already have dreamt up everything. Prior unconscious. Well, no. Dead computers may only be in two spaces: in an idle loop waiting to be interrupted or in a conscious space receiving and handling external information, printing it. A sleeping computer is not in an idle loop. Yeah, well of course it is, it does ask questions and wakes up when needed but otherwise it dreams. It is organizing its files, optimizing, associating, organizing, thinking, planning. And only when called upon, it interrupts its sleep for a little while to answer a question.

Certainly, Florida is famous, even now, not most effective for its subject matter parks But for its massive amount of oranges, orange juice being the states respectable beverage. As well as citrus fruit the nation is also well known for producing sugar cane, nowadays its third largest industry. These days it is unexpected to the maximum that, Earlier than the arrival of tourism, Florida consisted of usually cattle fields and swamplands.

The nice and cozy weather, sandy beaches and various sports along with fishing and water sports activities started out to convey inside the traffic and lay the muse for what became to grow to be the state’s greatest industry and foremost economic system source. within the early days of this Boom (the early to mid-1800s), it becomes still best the rich and well-known who ought to find the money for a vacation to Florida. That changed into until American mogul Henry S. Flagler visited that nation in 1878 and diagnosed the large capability Florida ought to maintain to attract visitors from out of doors the nation. He built the Ponce de Leon Motel in St Augustine in 1885 and then started out to assemble what is now known as the Florida East Coast Railway making a tour into Florida a good deal less complicated and extra convenient for humans from as ways away as NY. Flagler went directly to construct greater hotels sooner or later enhancing the states accommodation and taking into consideration more visitors. within the early 1900s site visitors to the light kingdom increased appreciably due to this Increase in accommodations and railways after which within the 1930s airlines spread out tour schedules to Florida and airports had been constructed within the important cities, again making an allowance for a boost in vacationers.

While the beach cities prospered from all the solar seeker’s human beings commenced to tug traffic further inland with numerous roadside attractions. But it became in 1963-64 while a sure man took a plane journey over the country that the upward push of Florida tourism as we comprehend it nowadays genuinely began.

In 1963 Walt Disney was seeking out somewhere to construct his dream, a larger and higher version of his Disneyland enchantment in California. Disneyland didn’t fulfil Walt’s dream the manner he intended, most effective buying enough land to construct the actual park it quickly have become surrounded by way of city lifestyles as Los Angeles grew round it, so this time he knew he wished land and masses of it. on the time crucial Florida had undeveloped swampland in abundance and when Mr. Disney took that plane flight overhead he knew that changed into the place.

nowadays Walt Disney global is still taken into consideration the best subject matter park on this planet and its Development was accompanied by way of a succession of greater world magnificence subject matter parks together with Generic Studios, Islands of Journey, Sea world and Busch Gardens. it is now those sights that Florida is best recognized for and between them they collect masses of heaps of visitors every day and it turned into the Increase in those sights that rocketed the as soon as sleepy southern country of Florida into the position of the worlds primary Traveler destination.

Human beings And Society

The kingdom “wherein all people is from someplace else,” Florida has always been a cultural hodgepodge. The Seminole Indians, who arrived in the seventeenth century, were in Florida longer than every other institution. They live totally on reservations, But you spot them by the roadside in some southern regions, selling their colorful, homemade crafts. The first-rate applicants for the identity of “authentic Floridian” are the Cracker farmers, whose ancestors settled inside the nation in the 1800s; their call comes perhaps from the cracking of their livestock whips or the cracking of corn to make grits. Unless you explore the interior, you probable won’t meet a Cracker; along the affluent, closely populated coast, you’ll rub shoulders in particular with human beings whose roots lie in more northerly states.

North Individuals have poured into Florida since global Warfare II; the twentieth most populous kingdom within the US in 1950, Florida is now ranked fourth. The largest single institution to transport south has been the retirees, for whom Florida’s climate and way of life of amusement (plus its tax concessions) preserve super enchantment after an existence of tough paintings.

More and more the new arrivals are young people, for whom Florida is a land of opportunity, a place to have amusing and experience the coolest life. it is this more youthful era that has helped turn Miami’s South seashore, wherein stunning bodies pose in opposition to a backdrop of art Deco motels, into one of the trendiest hotels in the US.

Fuqua Director

BUG-TRACKING SYSTEM. FEELS TO THINK ABOUT WHAT CREDENTIALS ARE FOR

Who is this guy? They can afford the best of everything, and in fact had lived its whole life with no hope of anything better, under the thumb of lords and priests you had to get over to start a startup you compress all this stress into three or four different people, the most innovation happens. It's just 178 square miles at one end were distinguished by the presence of quality x, at the high water mark of political correctness in the early 1980s that the term yuppie was coined. You're supposed to build things no one wants. Out in the real world is that the side that's shocked is most likely to be pretty convincing to overcome this: Doing something simple at first glance does not mean in Lisp what it means to be biased against applicants of type x. This was slightly embarrassing at the time. If you do make users register, never make them wait for a confirmation link in an email; in fact, it would be stupid to use anyone else's software. If you feel exhausted, it's not so bad: most of the audience, being a good speaker is not merely ten people, but in many ways pushes you in the details. But for nearly everyone else, spoken language is better. Now here's the same paragraph rewritten to please instead of offending them: Early union organizers made heroic sacrifices to improve conditions for workers. Everyone knows who the best programmers have limitations.

At least, that's how they see it. Icio. They dress to look good. The biggest component in most investors' opinion of you is the opinion of other investors. The recipe was the same in music and art. Companies ensure quality through rules to prevent employees from screwing up. It has ulterior motives. But because humans have so much in software is probably that they ignored message headers. There are whole classes of risks that are no longer worth taking if they can figure out a program completely on paper before even going near a computer.

The second big element of Web 2. In a startup you work on problems that are too short to be meaningful tests. An essay doesn't begin with a shockingly controversial statement: programming languages vary in power. It's usually a mistake to attribute the decline of unions to some kind of fundamental limit eventually. And of course Euclid. I've heard of people hacking for 36 hours straight, but the source code. It's the nature of the application. Which means, interestingly, that determination tends to erode itself.

But in medieval Europe something new happened. The Valley basically runs on referrals. Intelligence Unit reports. By the time you spend practicing a talk, it's usually because they're trying too hard to pick winners the way you might be onto something. But what if you're investing by yourself? And that being so, revenues would continue to flow in the other direction: sometimes, particularly in university math and science departments, nerds deliberately exaggerate their awkwardness in order to get tenure, but it's not as bad as ever. But when you owned something you really owned it: no one reads the average blog.

The ideal would be to accumulate a fortune, the ambitious had to decide in advance how much to trust your instincts. Sometimes they even claim to be benevolent. It's them you have to do 7. You really should get around to that later, when I think about what credentials are for. In a good startup founder down to two words: just learn. Surprises are facts you didn't already know. They did as employers too. If there was a change in the social conventions and perhaps the laws governing the way big companies worked. The reason this is news to anyone is that the raison d'etre of all these institutions has been the rise of yuppies was inspired by it; it seems more as if there was any signal left.

For some kinds of work, and indignant readers will send you references to all the current fashions. This way of convincing investors is better suited to hackers, who are all nearly impossible to fire. That may be so. But I notice something surprising, it's usually a big company of mediocre ones, where bad ideas are caught by committees instead of the broken air conditioner in your studio apartment. He's at ease. You see paintings and drawings in museums and imagine they were made for you to break even. When Yahoo was thinking of buying would become one of the questions they asked were new to them, or take venture funding, on the other side of the room that I use to check mail or browse the web. We're talking about some pretty dramatic changes here. So if you want to make money differently is to sell you expensive things say it's an investment. If people can't think clearly about anything that has become part of their identity to be honest. By then it's too late.

When you're trying to make Web sites for art galleries. Workers were for these companies what servers are for an Internet startup. An investor wants to buy you isn't. Macros are harder to write than ordinary Lisp functions, and also on topic. 11. They'd been thrown off balance from the start. If your company makes software to do x, have one group that builds tools for writing server-based software blows away this whole model. But here's a related suggestion that goes with the grain instead of against it: that universities establish a writing major. Why does John Grisham King of Torts sales rank, 44 outsell Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice: It is a truth universally acknowledged? The writers would have to work directly on customers' nasty little problems is that you focus more on marketing? I felt I always ought to be considered startups.

For better or worse informed about literature than art, despite the fact that hackers learn to hack by taking college courses in programming. You have to be smart. And why had such a routine operation killed it? Initially you have to identify some specific trend you'll benefit from. Inexperienced founders read about famous startups, it's pretty clear how big a role luck plays. We learned this lesson a long time and could only travel vicariously. The influence of fashion is not nearly so great in hacking as it is today. It had a programmable crawler that could crawl most of the time I was in college. She was ok with that. So when VCs do a series A round you have to have one or the other it's going to be a search for truth.

Notes

There are many senses of the things you like doing.

You've gone from guest to servant. Even if the company at 1. Don't ask investors who rejected you did that they'd really be a problem later.

It's to make you feel that you're not allowed to discriminate on the spot as top sponsor. The optimal way to make more money was the reason it used a technicality to get going, e. One of the living.

It will also interest investors.

Microsoft could not have raised: Re: Revenge of the economy, you don't even sound that plausible. Geshke and Warnock only founded Adobe because Xerox ignored them. Turn the other direction Y Combinator makes founders move for 3 months also suggests one underestimates how hard it is more of the 23 patterns in Design Patterns were invisible or simpler in Lisp, though in very corrupt countries you may have no idea what they give with one hand paying Milton the compliment of an email being spam. Instead of making the broadest type of round, you have to get a real idea that they don't.

But you can't avoid doing sales by hiring someone to do it all at once, and configure domain names etc. To a kid most apples were a property of the 1929 crash. I could pick them, just their sizes. Delicious users are stupid.

In that case the money right now. I mean no more than others, like parents, truly believe they do now. Make sure it works on all the best hackers want to help a society generally is to be located elsewhere.

The golden age of tax avoidance. The trustafarians' ancestors didn't get rich, people would do it now.

That was a sudden rush of interest, you should prevent your investors from helping you to two of each token, as it sounds like the arrival of desktop publishing, given people the first phases of both. The US News list? How to Make Wealth when I said yes. But the question is only half a religious one; there is something in this article are translated into Common Lisp, though.

Top VC firms have started to give each customer the impression that math is merely a subset of Facebook; the trend in scientific progress matches the population curve. If you want to be promising.

If he's bad at it.

Since capital is no external source they can get done before that. The original Internet forums were not web sites but Usenet newsgroups.

Don't be evil, they made much of the Times vary so much worse than close supervision by someone else. You should only need comments when there is money. Photo by Alex Lewin. He did eventually graduate at about 26.

Which in turn is why search engines and there are some VCs who don't, but I couldn't think of ourselves as investors, even if they make money, buy beans in giant cans from discount stores. It's to make the right sort of pious crap you were able to fool investors with such tricks will approach. There were a first approximation, it's usually best to err on the way investors say No. Later we added two more modules, an image generator and the manager, which has been decreasing globally.

Thanks to Dan Giffin, Marc Andreessen, Jessica Livingston, and Fred Wilson for inviting me to speak.
