Super Sunday

It’s Super Sunday and The Big Game is a priority. I’m declaring my political abstinence right now, giving 3 big cheers for meaningless excitement, proposing that I put my best foot forward by wasting as much time as I can by un-watching, while rooting for both the Eagle and the Chief.

Here’s what I don’t know, and I’d like to present what I don’t know to you.

Of the Big Game, I don’t know who will win. The losers will have already lost until a new season begins once again under the banner of Roman Numerals.

Earlier, we’d been discussing Plutocracy—how much plutocrats seem to know and how certain they are of their knowing, having achieved some base-line levels of financially independent plutocratic success. Perhaps, however, we might take a few minutes to evaluate and dissect the Psychology of the Plutocratic Individual; the possibility of the plutocrat not knowing, only seeming to know without actual knowledge. Certain principles of uncertainty, including Keats’ concept of ‘Negative Capability’, apply to plutocrats universally as they must also, we can agree, to Buddhist monks and others of non-aquisitive, far less rapacious natures’, so that the Plutocrat becomes a type having a psychological profile.

In other words, those who practice Plutocracy merit serious psychological evaluation, having every right to be analyzed by the very finest practitioners of the art. Nor should a plutocrat ever be unfairly denied the privilege of being unable to pay his or hers medical bills.

What if Mark Zuckerberg was poor and in the street, as poor as a poet for instance, and I could say, '“Hi Mark Zuckerberg, is there some way I can help?”
