Ever since I started reading your works I’ve wished I could find a place online to discuss your ideas and issues relevant to them. The Guestbook on this site is okay for making one-off comments that might get a response or two, but do you know of any sites that are set up for threaded discussions?Categories: I Need Some Clarification|Tags: Website| Read More
I don’t know how relevant or likely this is, but I was wondering if you ever considered the possibility of starting your own weblog.With so many cheap or free options out there, like Blogspot or LiveJournal, and your inspired perspective on the world, it seems like it would be a wonderful fit, and a means for you to explore smaller ideas that might not make it into book form.Categories: I Have a Question About Daniel Quinn, I Have a Question On a Specific Subject|Tags: Website, Writing and Publishing| Read More
One of the most interesting and useful ideas for learning to me is the use of compact discs. I have been attracted to this format that Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky use to spread their ideas.One CD in particular is Zinn’s lecture given at Reed College, which can be found in most record stores. I would like to know if you have given any thought of producing some of your own lectures, interviews, or even readings on to CD.I believe it would do very well. I know I would be intrigued.Categories: I Have a Question On a Specific Subject|Tags: Quinn's Motivations, Website, Writing and Publishing| Read More
I very much appreciate your trilogy: Ishmael, The Story of B, and My Ishmael. Your insights help us see how our Taker culture represents an aberration in human evolution.I am interested in seeing a list of references that you cited for the factual material presented in these books. Would it be possible to e-mail such a list?Categories: I Have a Question On a Specific Subject|Tags: Quinn's Motivations, Website| Read More
I want to use some of Daniel’s writings on my website/posters/flyers. Is it okay to use parts of the books? Who do I get permission from? The publisher? Daniel?Categories: I Have a Question On a Specific Subject, I Need Some Clarification, I'd Like Some Advice|Tags: Beyond Civilization, Ishmael, Story Of B, Website, Writing and Publishing| Read More
Is it ok to print out some of the website info and have it available for people at our meeting/event/church/class/home to read?Categories: I Need Some Clarification|Tags: Education, Technology, Website, Writing and Publishing| Read More
I was VERY SURPRISED to see a link to AMAZON.F*!KI*G.COM on your web site. They are the least tribal business I can think of — perhaps one of the most destructive ever to come along.Categories: I Have a Bone to Pick with You!|Tags: Website| Read More
After having been enthusiastic when reading Ishmael, I am more and more wondering about your real goals. What do you look for? Increasing your community of Ishamel’s addicts (CONSUMERS), and by the way your OWN income? Why don’t you say anything regarding the real world events as WTO meeting is Seattle?? What do you do about that new Stalinist Way of getting huge wealth for a “happy?” few, by convincing the People of the World that they are going to get more and more civilized if they buy more and more American shit, and enjoy U.S. stupid Entertainment industry (including Ishmael’s fairy tales ???)Categories: I Have a Bone to Pick with You!, I Have a Question About Daniel Quinn|Tags: Political Correctness, Priorities, Quinn's Motivations, Website| Read More
How does it feel to know that your messages will not be heard by the people who need to hear it the most? People such as corporate chairmen, and other such positions of power. How does it also feel to know that some men will hear what you have to say, but will not understand what you are trying to say? How does it feel to know that some men will hear what you have to say, but will turn their backs for a higher ambition such as beating their competitors rather than helping out mother Earth, or will turn their backs simply because they don’t care? How do you deal with your obstacles?Categories: I Have a Question About Daniel Quinn, I Have a Question On a Specific Subject|Tags: Quinn's Motivations, Technology, Website| Read More
I’ve read nearly every single question and answer in the past year and a half and have found that a great number of the questions are asked in the same tone, same style, same length…and appear to come from the same person. My question is, are questions “planted” here to deter people from asking them in the first place, or, more to the point, are questions with the same basic thought taken and a new, simplistic question formed from it, and given the appearance of having been original?Categories: I Have a Question On a Specific Subject|Tags: Quinn's Motivations, Website| Read More
