There is no such fetish. People just insist on seeing snakes as members of the human body. The eastern pic with many heads simply relfects the form of the "hood"; I simply added the most common three headed picture one might notice in looking at many snake books. Blake had a healthy vision of the creatures. The top picture contains a very old view of a snake sheeding, so I included some skin if you look closely. Wow!!,but look at the metal snake head to the right there, that REALLY expresses what a snake head looks like. It does not look any thing like a circumsized Johnson.
I created those collages to see if I would end up thinking differently about snakes and lizards than I had thought in reading Croizat's panbiogeography and his book about plant sex etc. In truth I made the college to remove any penis"" from stray thoughts as that's how I was able to "close" the collage. That was the baby JESUS not a penis you saw. The interesting thing about all of Croizat's texts
Page not found - Buffalo Museum of Science(just look at all he wrote and one can easily wonder why he is not more of staple than a lunatic fringed, in contemporary biological pedagogy)
is that as you read them, if you comment in the margin and reread one's own comments, crossing out and drawing what comes to mind as one reads over and over, one can see the artist in Croizat virtually draw out from the reader's comments, figures put in text by the methodical author. I found Croizat's work more intricate than Derrida's, if only because Croizat mentally embedded organic FORMS in letters, sentences, maps, and drawings. What I saw as a new way to DO biology (that part gained through reading) Gould probably saw but a distraction. Neatly Croizat did all of this BEFORE cut & paste, which makes doing the same extremly easy today. There just is not enough appreciation of the art of Croizat's method.
I really do not have much time this semester since I have 17 credits. I made these concatentations last year. When I have spare time I try to catch up on reading Kant. Someday I would like to have his entire thought process internalized but that takes the time I do not have. As I am getting older I do like to watch an occasional sports game.
