Horton agrees with Ioannidis' reasoning, blaming: "small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance."

A mondegreen /ˈmɒndɪɡriːn/ is a mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase as a result of near-homophony, in a way that gives it a new meaning. Mondegreens are most often created by a person listening to a poem or a song; the listener, being unable to clearly hear a lyric, substitutes words that sound similar and make some kind of sense.[1][2]

Rhino Writing

 

The best writing comes out of desperation, puerility, except Stevens maybe, but there is some repose in Borges and Kafka and innocence in Kerouac vs. Poe’s true adventures, misadventures of an anarchist in Beasts, Imp, Man, Bottle. Crane writes with demonic energy of rejection which supercharges his lines with a mass fire of rejection, hence desire for acceptance, picking up seamen. Poe’s vindictive glee and ironic justice.  Promethean fire they spark within themselves, but not against the gods, rather in favor to them, from them, celebrated all their forbidden fruits, Lingering behind these are shadows of pedophilia, corrupted lusts. All this is the highest complement to empire, domination, the American Babylon. the myth of America. It does not follow that he sought solace with sailors because he couldn’t get a job, or lived at home. More Faustian stuff, disconnected intellect from life, the very thing Wiemar, empire, feeds on. Crane was a intellectual neurotic as much as Harold Bloom. Truly neurotic verbal fire, the very thing his mentors and peers seek themselves. “12 September, 1927, Hart Crane wrote to his patron, the banker Otto Kahn, asking for financial help. Kahn had already given him $2,000 to work on his projected epic poem The Bridge, which Crane couldn’t seem to bring to completion. He was drinking heavily, picking up sailors on the New York docks and getting into terrible brawls that sometimes culminated in a night in jail.” Perloff.

Monstrous Appetites: Giants, Cannibalism, andInsatiable Eating in Enochic Literature

Matthew Goff

In different ways the Animal Apocalypse,  Jubilees , and the Book of Giants present the insatiable appetite of the giants as the key for understanding their crimes, which include murder, anthropophagy and the consumption of blood. Blood plays a major role in the retribution by the angels against them. The  appetite of the giants ffects their recompense in that their bodies, not their spirits, are destroyed. In this form they can no longer eat; but, this essay suggests, their overwhelming hunger remains… twin themes of appetite and consumption are important in otherEnochic texts that reformulate the Watchers story, including Jubilees, the Bookof Giants

and the Animal Apocalypse 3 the importance of the theme of eating is also reflected in the punishment of the giants, who are forced to exist as spirits that cannot eat. I also speculate about the ancient Near Eastern literary background of the trope of destructive consumption

In the Syncellus text the giants are divided into “three kinds”(γένα τρία; :) and are given a lead role in the introduction of illicit revelation to the world 21

--the giants’ appetite is the key factor motivat-ing their destructive activities. ey begin by eating the toil of the humans.12 When this is insucient, they eat the humans themselves.

--the extraordinary amount of food anddrink consumed by the Canaanite king Og, who is regarded as a giant (Deut :), is de-scribed in the late rabbinic work

Tractate Sopherim(b; Soncino edition) 26

--In a Freudian twist on the consumption trope, the text envisions a violent scene in which the giants ght with and eventually eat theirfathers the Watchers, who are imagined as bulls once they descend to earth:“And all the bulls feared them [the elephants, camels and asses] and were ter-ried before them, and they began to bite with their teeth and devour and gore with their horns. And they began to devour those bulls, and look, all thesons of the earth began to tremble and quake before them, and to flee” ( En 86:5–6). 28

Secrecy and the Gods: Secret Knowledge in Ancient Mesopotamia and Biblical Israel. Alan Lenzi. review

-there was a political organization that formed the secret council for the Assyrian and Babylonian kings. The evidence for these councils is found in the vision of the mythological divine assembly, for which the work of E. T. Mullen and the American School of Old Testament studies is foundational. That no evidence for such councils has yet appeared in the mundane tablets does not stop scholars from positing their existence (which is fair enough since they are supposed to be a secret after all), but then to found theories of lineages of secret traditions and complimentary secret councils which can be posited for “Israel”

(Lenzi almost without exception uses “Israel” to refer to the political situation in Jerusalem) stretches the data beyond certainty. To his credit, Lenzi constantly reminds the reader that his reconstruction is hypothetical… Mesopotamian scribal self-understanding: they understood themselves to be the bearers of secret knowledge from the antediluvian deities. Accepting that the writing of cuneiform Akkadian was simplified through these 2000 years and that therefore the capacity for literacy expanded, the professional scribes contrived various means by which to keep texts they wished to maintain within their circles away from the barely literate. Using Sumerian served these purposes, as was using ancient forms of cuneiform signs…

The official ideology appears to be that the information of the practitioners of various forms of divination, exorcism, medicine, and other specialized arts came from a group of seven sages (apkallu) who, in turn got their information directly from the deities, especially the god of wisdom, Ea. Well documented is that the origin of practical wisdom derives from ancient times through the passing on of written texts intended to be kept secret… there is the positing of a secret council for the Jerusalem kings (or at least the Samarian kings), evidence for which is extremely slim… Unlike Mesopotamia, however, Israel sought to make secret knowledge known. Prophets did not seek to keep other people from knowing what the divine council proclaimed, but set out to inform publically and orally as many people as possible…

volume ends with a select series of passages being considered in light of the material presented in the book: Daniel as a court scholar with secret knowledge not available to other court functionaries (the cluster of court positions are seen to have Mesopotamian literary roots); Deut 28:69–30:20 as a description of Moses as the paradigmatic prophet (with 29:28 as an interpolation devised to prevent apocalyptic or exilic restoration speculation); Prov 8:22–31 as the foundational tale of Wisdom as God's creation before creation (presented as, if not based on, at least familiar with, the Enuma Elish—though the question of why would the term אָמוֹן  in Prov 8:30 remind readers of Marduk rather than, say, Amon raises questions about the matter; see pp. 354-57); and Deut 34:10–12 wherein Moses is shown to be the apkallu for the Israelites. Lenzi is fully aware that these interpretations are selected from numerous alternatives which contemporary biblical commentators have posited, but they do seem appropriate given his thesis. [much of this sounds swallowed hook, line and sinker by heiser]

“The motif of the divine origin of civilization is common in the ancient Near East, [ie the apkallu Nephilim] especially in Mesopotamia, and it stands in stark contrast to the portrayal of the rise of civilization in Genesis 1– 11.

Nephilim and apkallu identity in Anne Kilmer, the Mesopotanian counterparts of the Biblical Nepilim

 

 apkallu – advisors to kings. fish-men, mixed species, the nēpīlîm passage in Genesis 6 occurs together with the theme of increased population growth on which Genesis 6 opens. The apkallu are semi-divine beings depicted as mixed beings,  priests wearing fish hoods, humans and apkallu could presumably mate since we have the description of the four post-flood apkallu as “of human descent,” the fourth being only “two-thirds apkallu” as opposed to pre-flood pure apkallu and subsequent human sages (ummiānu)--- nēpīlîm appeared on the earth after divine beings (sons of elohim) had mated with the daughters of men. look to the Mesopotamian sage traditions for the mythological background of Genesis 6:1-4. While the ties between the apkallu and the nēpīlîm are hardly ties that bind, there are enough points of comparisonsuperhuman / semi-divine beings, acts of daring / hubris, acts that anger divinity, association with wickedness in men, their predominantly pre-flood existence.

6/19/18 --Liu Dan (sunflower) does not tend towards a single subject matter, he is known to paint what he calls “uncertain” subjects, since he believes that “the clearer the feeling, the blurrier the image.” His best known works depict landscapes, flowers, and what is known as Guai Shi (odd stones) in traditional Chinese art and literati culture. From this, Liu has developed a theory of landscape painting he calls a “micro exploration through macro understanding.”
