[lbo-talk] profits

[Alan Rudy]

not only the mundane to factory to reproduction and credit flow but also
that it starts with an abstract universal and moves - in an almost
call-and-response fashion - between abstraction, the historical transitions
and immediate specifics... but, even more than that, each response calls
forth new more complex but tightly interwoven responses which further alter
the calls without dropping connection to prior rounds, abstractions and
specificities... there was no way to keep track of it all but it gave me
goosebumps and frissons of ecstatic insight that I couldn't help bringing to
bear on an ever-widening range of other materials, personal experience, etc.

Of course, I went seriously overboard when it came to connecting those
insights to all sorts of relationships operating at any number of levels and
subsequent mentors, colleagues and girlfriends were awful nice (if,
necessarily, sometimes kinda rough) in pointing out how deep and incomplete
the waters I was swimming in had become....
