Misc pynchon vision stuff "in the news"

[Mark Kohut]

Over on Facebook, in a post I don't know how to copy here, Morris has a bit
Showing how ISIS fundamentalists want to make everything black and white, 
For or against ( them) they quote doubt, good or bad, saved or not. 
They eliminate greyzone, they say. 

Remind anyone of Calvinistic Protestant Ethic samenesses in western history,
In pynchon? 

Morris's post then stands next to Republican dichtomies, more either-or eases
More no compromises.....

I read that some ISIL communication now happens in the Deep Web; the secret 
Murderous stuff. Where the bleeding edges are. 

Life Against Death is an undersheet, so to speak, of GR. A book that argued 
For the elimination of the death wish in culture by embracing pleasure, sensuality,
Joy in life--to oversimplify, of course---all that Wahhabiism hates. Wahhabiism---
The religion that incorporates overtly the death wish as theology. ....suicide bomber vests:
Rockets strapped right on and not even a ride.
