These statements gets awful close to implying that the purpose of mindfulness should be sociopolitocal action, which would fit with other things David Loy has written. I do not agree with that. To me, mindfulness is for spiritual practice and I do not want politics TcsWebmail

I do appreciate McMindfulness critiques. But here's my problem:

"Mindfulness, they argued, needs to reclaim an ethical framework that goes beyond privatized adjustment to a society based on market capitalism that contributes to stress and other sources of unhappiness.... McMindfulness thus forfeits the moral demand that follows this insight: to challenge social inequities and enact universal compassion, service and social justice in all forms of human endeavor."

These statements gets awful close to implying that the purpose of mindfulness should be sociopolitocal action, which would fit with other things David Loy has written. I do not agree with that. To me, mindfulness is for spiritual practice and I do not want politics (especially someone else's politics, given that mine have never fit neatly into a left- right dichotomy) in my practice. That is my personal choice. And I think others should be able to make that choice as well. Who are they to dictate what the moral imperative of someone else's life is? They aren't living it.

What are you talking about??

Great, more uneducated gen Xers completely misinterpreting David Loy's philosophies. All of his work regarding McMindfulness is steeped in irony. The original manifesto was a satirical dig at all the armchair revolutionaries who impose their own thoughts and opinions on his writing, which is essentially a literary Rorcharch blot composed of pataphysics and shaggy dog tales. I swear, the great thinkers of our time can operate under the purist motives and fuckers will always misconstrue their work to suit their own agenda.

When you watch this pompous loud mouth in the video I linked to below , you are left grateful he beats the
shit out of himself, so you don't have to.  It also
appears this douche-bag is styling himself after one of those
c&c music factory videos.

His styles wack. His hair is wack. And his attitude is over inflated = WACK!

wait, isn't this the dude that date rapped Chase Webb?

I’ve always assumed his one brother killed himself to get away from David.

[Lou Strux]

I’ve always assumed his one brother killed himself to get away from David.

I mean…
It’s not suicide per se, but Ethan chose to ride w/ the Element squad, and it may well have been an effort to distance himself from his goof of a brother.

I guess in the larger scheme of things, it is kinda a choice to kill your skate cred, so… okay, he DID kill hisself after all.

Thanks for helping me think that one through, SLAP.

Oh wait… Was there a third Loy?

LIFE IS WAR

[matt_2993]

feel like i'm getting the revenge i've always wanted after seeing that clip

[fineslime]

all jokes aside, its really hard to see anyone hit their head that badly. in the post he says "luckily no serious brain damage." dog... that IS serious brain damage. anytime someone has the fencing response with a concussion that's indictive of serious and permanent trauma. he goes into the fencing response briefly. those noises he made are bruuuuutal. I don't know how recent that slam was but I hope for his sake the next year of his life isn't completely fucked up with depression and mood swings. dude fell straight to his head.

"no serious brain injury..." I guess that's the brain injury talking.



here's more info on the fencing response and how damaging concussions of that nature can be.

Yes

I dislike him as much as anyone else but that was fucked. I don’t wish head trauma on anyone.

[OMSK]

I know there is a lot of hate for Mr. Loy on here, but I remember when I was at a contest/event pretty far from where I was staying in CA and David gave me a ride back, no questions asked and wouldn't take any money for gas. I do know him personally, so that definitely helped, but it was out of his way and late at night. If it wasn't for him I would've been stuck for a long time. Thanks David, hope you heal up soon, that fall was brutal!

Yeah I went too far on that one. I’m for sure going to hell. But in all seriousness I definitely botched that and should be more sympathetic seeing as even I have had suicide attempts. My b pals.

respect for owning it and apologizing. we've all made jokes in poor taste, but man, suicide is reeeeally hard to make funny.

[biggums mcgee]

Only read / watched stuff on the 5th page of this thread but wanted to say I thought he was lame when he was a kid but the video of him discussing his history of injuries makes him seem like a down to earth guy.

Seemingly less deserving of hate than many of his peers. Backstory to rocking helmet at El Toro is legit!
