To Sail On The Seven Seas (With Cats)
To Put A Smile On The Face of A Muse
This is a poem for my Muse to hopefully make her laugh, I love hearing her laugh. Was trying to graft The Owl and The Pussycat, The Iliad, and Jason and The Argonauts in an act of poetic madness so chose a vague Limerick form.

Sailing on the Seven Seas
You, Your Owl And Kitties Three.
A Basket Full Of Yum Yum
To Fill Your Empty Tum Tum
And Then Find The Golden Fleece
π¦π π±π π§π½ββοΈ
Near Scylla And Charybdis
Owl Does Hoot and Kittens Hiss
Then You Hear The Sirenβs Song
Distract Yourself, Cream And Scone
Hit The Beach Where This Fleece Is

Coming Home, Mermaids Follow
On The Fleece Kitties Wallow
Owl Then Tells You of Argus
As You Drift Home Successful
Golden Fleece, El Dorado

You, Owl and Pussy Cats Three
In Your Pea Green Boat At Sea
Set Your Sights On More Treasure
To Return At Your Leisure
All Enjoy Living So Free

Trickle Them Down, But Not Out
The thing about smart people is that they should know better, but alas, intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Not only do the mistakes of experts too short on visionβwhen they are not correctedβhave the potential to do great and far-reaching damage, but they also undermine public confidence in the very notion of expertise. This is particularly so when expertise is wielded in defence of the rich and powerful as a cudgel against those laid low. As an academic, this lack of faith in βso-called expertsβ is painful to see as it plays out in the spread of dis-/misinformation, conspiracy theories, and anti-intellectualism writ large. But it is also an understandable impulse given the catastrophic failure of an economic ideology pushed by certain economic experts. Supply-side economics has shaped a broken system for the last half-century and has arguably done more to undermine the fabric of the American Dream than any policy framework of the past century.
