Time to Unplug a Class?

I'm in a class called "Unplugging the Animal" and I really *don't* suggest you take it @Glyfie. It's all about how our biological component (which means desire, fear, aggression) messes up your mind and you need to separate yourself from it and only pay attention to the spirit and the abstract concepts that connect us to the infinite.

What a bunch of patriarchal BS.

Sure, there's the reptilian mind argument (see @Serpentes), and that the addictions of the body like pleasure, depression, survival, domination, etc., all lead to a lowering of psychic power. But what about the power of love, and maternal care, and the creative power (yes including reproduction), and altruism when you're helping another life form survive?

It's the same old oppression of our bodies by the Men who control the curriculum at Psyhigh. But if I pull out of the class now I'll lose my credit, so all I can do is stay in it and somehow hope to pass and not lose my soul.

I suggest that you, @Glyfie, and @Crystal Rosethorn and @Briar Rose and @Meeg Eiderdown and @Tina ECHO and @Miranda Ashdove and @Klarya and @Ava Elisabeth all audit the class and protest and maybe we can all SHUT IT DOWN!!!

That sounds like a terrible class! I'll do my best to avoid that class in the future... May I ask which professor teaches it?

Also signing a petition sounds like an interesting idea. However, would we get in trouble for doing so? I'm just concerned, being a new student and all, I would hate to develop a bad reputation already within my first couple weeks of school.

But thanks for the tip!

The teacher for "Unplugging the Animal" is VEKLOR THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS. He's a jerk. You've probably heard of him because he's a part-time coach for Mayan Mind Wrestling, and the leader for the Society of Self Satisfied Psychic Athletes on campus. Even the cheerleaders in my class agree he's a creep.

But I'm not talking about some petition @Glyfie. I mean direct action. You should gather all your friends and come to my class today and demand to enter the classroom and ask all the hard questions like "Why is your understanding of modern cognitive neuroscience so lacking?" and "When will you stop looking down my shirt?"

Seriously. This kind of Cartesian Dualism has no place in our curriculum because it's completely outdated, ignores all of the most up to date research, and only serves to maintain existing exploitative power structures. Now is the time we take a stand!!!

Ok, I'll start creating posters for our cause and I'll have some demons spread the word. Maybe we could even have other schools involved?

Yeah VEKLOR THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS is bad news. I heard he got kicked out of Mystic High, Satanic High, and Mildly Precognitive High before coming here. But he gets a whole new identity each time he changes jobs - which means a whole new body and life history and backstory and everything, so he's hard to trace.

Yea, verily! The stink of the Clown Scourge is upon this VEKLOR THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS!

Many of you are wondering about the increase in sightings of the Horrifying Plastic Clowns on campus, with their decrepit, melting faces and sinister grins, peeking out from behind bushes and stop signs, brandishing rubber machetes and sub machine guns.

Let me assure you the Knights of the Wig have gathered a quorum, and @Sir Olaf McHandshake himself has met them at the Holiday Inn near the airport to begin their ritual meeting rituals, and the sacred "Warm Up" with lots of lots of "oooofs!" and "ummphs."

But in the meantime, I have discovered evidence of collusion between this deadly comic menace and (wait for it!) VEKLOR THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS! As one looks into the world of VEKLOR THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS one discovers more and more Clownish Antics afoot. VEKLOR THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS was paid 57 million cream pies for recently accompanying a delegation of Psychic Teachers to Sarasota, Florida--a known center of clown activity! VEKLOR THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS has spent many hours in online chat rooms speaking to "Booboo Pocket" and "Dinky Shakes," who were actually undercover agents of the Knights of the Wig! VEKLOR THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS drives a very, very tiny car.

Yes, it is clear this is no mere incursion--this rude affliction permeates the very fabric of our institutions! We must strike at all heads of this hydra! Any assistance you can provide, oh @GROTTO G.S.M. INC., marvelous synthetic oracle you must be, along with aid of such warriors of stout heart as @Glyfie, @Crystal Rosethorn, @Briar Rose, @Meeg Eiderdown, @Tina ECHO, @Miranda Ashdove, @Klarya, @Ava Elisabeth, @Juliana Hatchett, and their ilk, there is no doubt we will be victorious!

Together! Into to whipped cream go we!

Most sincerely,

Lady Bettricia

Time for me to act. Such a cruel and terrible class...and then the clowns...and then the bugs! I suggest we get together and ACT. And maybe get VEKLOR THE WORLD DESTROYER destroyed. Maybe even put in jail...I believe that it is one of the laws to NOT let loose a clown posse for no apparant reason,as we all remember what happened in 1955. Are you all with me on this? Let's hope so. Now i need time to think,and discuss with the other ghosts what to do. Good luck to all of us,and any others who wish to help.
