*Exposure Don’t Pay the Rent. So Why Do Creatives Still Say Yes?* *الإكسبوجر ما بيدفعش الإيجار. طب ليه المبدعين لسه بيقولوا آه؟* Because the answer isn’t simple. لأن الإجابة مش بسيطة. Sometimes free work is a trap. أوقات الشغل ببلاش بيبقى فخ. Sometimes it’s the beginning of something real. وأوقات بيبقى بداية لحاجة حقيقية. Sometimes it’s exploitation. أوقات بيبقى استغلال. Sometimes it’s a strategic investment in your future. وأوقات بيبقى استثمار استراتيجي في مستقبلك. This meetup is about the grey zone no one defines clearly enough. الميت أب ده عن المنطقة الرمادية اللي محدش بيعرف يحددها بوضوح كفاية.

This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism") Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war). Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!

Join Neurospicy Columbus at the Stauff's for coffee and then a stroll through the Book Loft nearby! This will be a friendly chat for like minded individuals with Autism and/or ADHD (or somewhere on the Neurodiverse Spectra).

Let's catch up and have a relaxed chat, including chat about the book Disability Visibility. This collection of essays is available at the library. You'll be invited to share the essay that you related to the most, and the essay that did the most to grow your awareness of something new. It's OK if you don't read the whole book!
