“The neo-conservative critics of leftist critics of mass culture ridicule the protest against Bach as background music in the kitchen, against Plato and Hegel, Shelley and Baudelaire, Marx and Freud in the drugstore. Instead, they insist on recognition of the fact that the classics have left the mausoleum and come to life again, that people are just so much more educated. True, but coming to life as classics, they come to life as other than themselves; they are deprived of their antagonistic force, of the estrangement which was the very dimension of their truth.” PeopleFactsCultureLeftForceMassCriticsConservativeBackgroundsEducatedRecognitionKitchenDimensionsProtestPlatoRidiculeDeprivedLeftistsHegelEstrangementMass CultureBaudelaireShelleyBackground MusicMausoleum Book:One-Dimensional Man: Studies in the Ideology of Advanced Industrial Society Source: One-Dimensional Man: Studies in the Ideology of Advanced Industrial Society

“In the unexamined American Dream rhetoric promoting mass higher education in the nation of my youth, the implicit vision was that one day everyone, or at least practically everyone, would be a manager or a professional. We would use the most elitist of all means, scholarship, toward the most egalitarian of ends. We would all become chiefs; hardly anyone would be left a mere Indian.” MeanEndsUseDreamWould BeLeftNationsVisionYouthHigherOne DayMassMereChiefsManagersIndianAmerican DreamRhetoricPromotingScholarshipHigher EducationImplicitElitist Author:William A.

“Resolution Trust Company was set up to liquidate a bunch of assets that the government had inherited because the savings and loans went broke. So the savings and loans went broke, the government stepped in, paid off depositors, and now they're left with this mass of assets to sell. We're not talking about selling here, we're talking about buying intelligently. They were selling what they got handed to them by a bunch of savings and loan operators that had in many cases had done some very dumb thing. But their job was to liquidate it. And they liquidated.” DoneGovernmentJobsLeftCompanyTalkingCasesMassPaidSellsBunchSellingSavingBrokeDumbBuyingResolutionAssetsLoanSavingsNot TalkingOperatorsPaid OffDumb Things Author:Howard Warren Buffett
