I write, speak, invest, network, and question to stimulate fruitful conversation. Let's talk about human flourishing! It begins with freedom. Holy leisure is the key to human being, freedom and generativity. Please join me in the adventure of realizing Christ!
Zombies & Vampires
I state it publicly here, so that I’ll be able to prove my son Joshua and I thought it up if someone else writes a book about it: We think the zombies and vampires in movies express fears that are prevalent in the cultural sub-conscious: ‘fear of the unwashed masses,’ and ‘fear of the elite’.
Doesn’t it make sense that the general (i.e. non-Catholic) public would have inarticulate fears, as ever was, of all things remotely Catholic? And what’s more ‘Catholic’ than poor, breeding, unstoppable masses of superstitious people who threaten the Hygenic, Good People? Or, what’s more ‘Catholic’ than vaguely European (i.e. sexy) eternal, blood-swilling, castle-dwelling guys in black with aristocratic pretensions and the desire to get everyone into their power?
Just sayin’…. 🙂
