Fevered

Marsha reflects on an epistemological component of the emotionalism that many have noted in politics lately:

Philosophers from Kant to Marcuse and later spent years gutting reason of its power to arrive at objective judgments, and promulgating this view through the Academy. Without this ability, what individual can stand, with certainty, against the crowd? What's left but emotionally based alliances?

Without solid land
on which to stand
windswept feelings
can leave you reeling.
