Doctress Neutopia Speaks! (Was: Kook of the Month, June 1994)

No, the truth is quite conspicuous. You are REALLY a space alien (Grey
type II to be precise) who is pretending to be a man who is pretending to
be a woman who is pretending to be a lesbian so that you'll be perceived
to be more masculine so that you'll get that construction job at
Victoria's Secrets, and thus the employee discount will be yours and
you'll be able to get the appropriate latex items to turn into fuel for
your spacecraft and have enough left over in your tight budget to afford
a cattle mutilation or two before leaving.

Neutopia, aka Libby Hubbard, is a certifiable nut. She craves attention
so badly that she causes scenes here at UMass all the time...I must say
that her "I'm a scholar...and I don't have a job!" is pretty priceless
though.

: OK, we've all figured that out, but the question is: Did she really
: receive a Doctorate from UMass, or a Master's Degree? In "Future
: Studies" or whatever? My opinion of UMASS goes way down on this one.
YES! She finally received her Ed.D. on May 21st, and I know 'cause I went
thru grad commencement myself. She was actually listed in the program as
Doctress Neutopia, and refused to shake the Chancellor's/President's/Dean's
hand as she crossed the stage. She instead unfurled this cryptic handmade
banner (can't remember the wording) and walked across, holding it.
Future Studies was so much a joke that the program closed years ago. As
far as I can tell, the good Doctress is the final remnant of its absurdity.
However, she has used this credential in confronting Gloria Steinem at
Smith College (I witnessed that one too!) and has decried the Tower
Library at UMass, saying that it looks like a big penis and should be
razed (it's a 26-story inverted rectangle which looks nothing like the
male organ).
I don't know if she's been ranting about Dorion Sagan (yeah, Carl's son)
but he nailed her with a restraining order. She's a disturbed woman. And
is probably reading this so I can probably expect some mighty vicious email.
As for your opinion about UMass - the Cos wrote his dissertation on Fat
Albert. But there *are* some really good, reputable programs in the
School of Ed.

Wendy, I don't think that we have met in real life.
Or have we? No, I am not going to write you a hateful letter
for calling me a kook. Have you read my dissertation?
Then you will have a better idea of why I act the way I do.
UMass is a very corrupt place. I have studied university governance
and know is in not a democracy, but a fascist bureaucracy.

Wendy, the banner read, "FREE TRUTH FROM MONEY" It was a final
statement about my educational experience at UMASS. UMASS is not a
free place, a haven for wisdom lovers. If you don't have the money
you can't go to school. Well, what kind of system is that? Shouldn't
education be free for all?
I did end up shaking the Chancellor's head. He shook it as he was
walking out of the Mullins Center. He stopped the entire precession
to shake my hand. Did you see my dance? I had a wonderful time
dancing at the end as the others were walking out the the Center.
I really hope you didn't miss it.
: Future Studies was so much a joke that the program closed years ago.
The Future Studies was no joke. It was a threat to the administration
in that is was an interdisciplinary program which allowed students the
freedom to do their "own" thing. It was cut during the conservative
times when the administration was cutting out programs like public
health. It was an excellent program for someone like me who needs a
lot for freedom to pursue different kinds of things.
: However, she has used this credential in confronting Gloria Steinem at
: Smith College (I witnessed that one too!)
I thought Gloria Steinem was extremely unfriendly and rude to me that
day. I asked a question about women's natural sovereignity and she
ridiculed me. It was uncalled for. She has no interest in me as a
scholar or as a feminist. I believe I have something to teach Steinem
but she has ignored me. Maybe someday she will learn that other
people have things to contribute to the cause. It is so sad that this
has happened between us because I believe we share a lot in common.
My heart goes out to her and I pray that someday she will listen.
and has decried the Tower
: Library at UMass, saying that it looks like a big penis and should be

The library tower does look like an erect penis. You must have not
had much experience with erections if you can not see the
resemblance!
: I don't know if she's been ranting about Dorion Sagan (yeah, Carl's son)
: but he nailed her with a restraining order. She's a disturbed woman. And

At one time I was very much in love with Dorion. He was not in love
with me and it was heartbreaking when he ignored me. I wrote an epic
love poem in his honor which I hope to post on the net someday. Yes,
I am a disturbed woman. I am disturbed by the lack of sincere love
and community between people. Wendy, have you ever seen me write a
vicious email? So, why do you think I would write one to you?
: As for your opinion about UMass - the Cos wrote his dissertation on Fat

: School of Ed.
The School of Education has become primarily control by money from
private corporations. It is in no way a liberating place to go to
school. The administrators have cut out such things as philosophy and
history of education as well as art in education. All the great
educational philosophers thought that art was essential to education.
The school of education is one of the most ignorant places that I have
ever served time.

I wager that it would be rather hard to build a tall building that did not have
some such resemblance. But why would that qualify it for razing? Hey, maybe
the Great Library of Alexandria had such an architectural freudian slip too!

Democracy is great. Democracy is keen. Yeah Democracy! I love
it. But it's not right for every single organization. If, for
example, an American general, in an effort to take out some
nutcase fascist with potential nuclear power (I just saw True
Lies last night. Bare with me.) had to VOTE on whether everyone
should attack or not, nothing would get done and New York would
be a smokey crater in the ground. This is a BAD THING. War is
also a BAD THING, but so is the radioactive abscence of New
York.

You get what you pay for. I go to Stanford and pay a buttload
and love it (the school, not the buttload). Those that can't
afford the said buttload receive financial aid. This is in
part sponsored by my tuition, alumni donations, and the
mythical "endowment" that is floating around somewhere. It brings
a wonderful cross-section of the world to one place, as I'm sure
is true at most every college.

Look at me! Look at me! I see the problems with society!
I know how to fix them! If people could only see as clearly

Sheesh. Sounds like it's just a goofy name. Maybe the program
itself was great, I don't know, but your paranoia doesn't
lend it credibility. Maybe it's like Chaos Theory or Games
Theory... some valid work with a whole lot of hype because
the names are so cool. Makes it seem like we understand more

You should see Hoover Tower at Stanford. Hoo-boy! It's
got a reservior tip, is ribbed (for her pleasure) and has
little knobby things at the top. It's also the centerpiece
for the Hoover Institute, a conservative "Think Tank" that
you would hate and never be invited to. Coincidence? I think
not. Don't worry, they wouldn't invite me their either.

Neat! Post it! I bet it will last as long as the A-knee-id, if not
longer. Did you know that wasn't written by Homer, but by someone
else named Homer? It's true.

Art is great. Everyone should seek it out as part of their
education. I enjoyed a Renassance Art class I took immensely
even though I still can't comfortably spell Renassance. I
think there's an 'i' in there somewhere. Anyway. Let's put
the 'I' back in Renassance. Even if they were hornballs.

Now, now...what if I were a lesbian?! That would be a pretty heterosexist
(an insensitive) comment, dontcha think?
Yeah, I've seen erections, but they don't pervade my every thought so that I
see sexual organs in every piece of architecture I come across. If you
want to have any patriarchal buildings at UMass razed, I'd point you towards
the smokestacks behind the campus garage.

Of course it's a bureaucracy. It's a college, a large

as that which you pay dearly for.

Like studying, writing, and protelyzing about nothing in
particular? A vague, half-thought-out, pseudo-monarchy that will
eliminate money and bring about the 'lovolution'? Perhaps because there's
nothing there at all?

If the library is an inverted rectangle as Wendy has said, then

Building does.

Are you still laboring under the delusion that one goes to
college to *learn*? I would think that one so far advanced as to have

Nor do I (though I wouldn't object to anyone who *did*, much less
accuse them of anything one way or the other, so, if you're reading a
thread which hasn't got your name in it, keegan, which I doubt,
stay out of this.)
Where was I...? Oh yeah. What *does* pervade my every thought is the
vision of the good Doctress dancing across the lawn at the UMass
commencement, with Childe Roland's Dark Tower looming penis-like in
the background, while the Dean looks on slack-jawed with hand still
extended (and I'll bet he didn't wash that hand for a week afterward).

Well, you obviously know what you're saying because you put

I feed my compiler cornstarch and Frutopia. Doesn't everybody?
I mean, that's what the manual said... Damn Borland...
It's not a good programming session if your compiler hasn't

A world unfragmented loses its diversity. A world without perceived
ugliness negates perceived beauty. A world without cruelty cannot
fully appreciate tenderness. Destroy the polarity, and nothing you
desire means squat.

I have never seen the UMASS tower. I have seen the Chicago skyline,
I have seen the Tower of Learning in Pittsburgh, I have seen some
very beautiful tall buildings, some phallic, some just there.
Not enough vaginas? P'rhaps. I'd like to consider the fact that
all of these buildings descend into a creatrix earth (pagan bias here)
fusion enough. Are trees also phallic for rising? Are people?
Should I slouch more?

Well, I'm not an official USENET kook yet myself, but as one of the

Dear Doctress,

And aren't rockets used to get into space, to the moon? Oh, and those rockets

What is womb-energy exactly, and how does it influence our survival?
How would a fusion of the phallis and the vagina create a new soulization?
Aren't those fusions already happening everywhere? (isn't that where

I don't understand, doctress, and I hope you can supply me with some

I think that title has to go the Nebraska State Capitol building,
sometimes referred to as the "Prick of the Prairie". It sounds,
though, like the design may be very similar to that of Hoover

you know, my younger brother went to UMASS!!! (proper spelling from
rec.sport.basketball.college, doncha know) and he would agree with
the sentiments expressed by doctress neutopia above about the UMASS!!!
architecture. he thought it was pretty ugly, but the ugliness only
inspired him to get the heck out of there, as opposed to staying
and getting a graduate degree and dancing at commencement.
oh yeah, the dorm buildings there are also extremely phallic,
and my widdle brother used to pee out the window from the 11th
floor where his room was when he was too lazy to go to the bathroom.
i wonder what the doctress thinks about that.

Lupus Yonderboy
Arthur and Ford are trapped on pre-historic Earth. This space
ship half appears, and half not appears. Ford figures out that
it's only a POTENTIAL space ship from the future. Every time they
say, forget it.. no hope of rescue, and pick up the bottle of
wine that Arthur brewed the ship disappears. When they try and
think about rescue, it appears again.
They can't figure out how to get it to be a real ship, though,
so they decide to just wave a towel at it. The ship instantly
becomes real and comes crashing to the ground, causing great
geologic mayhem, and trapping Ford and Arthur under this
massive rock. Or what they thought was a rock. It turned out
to be the ship that Zaphod Beeblebrox had stolen to find
them after escaping unharmed from the Total Perspective Vortex.
Apparantly he found this chunk of the exploded Earth
with a fossilized towel in it. Arthur had dropped it. Obviously
an Improbibility Field was in effect here.
This is yet another example of why towels are the most
useful thing in this universe, or any other.
The best part about Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that
any logical problem can be explained by the fact that they
were in another universe, or there was an improbibility
field. You don't have to bicker for years like those Star
Trek nutters.
Episodes 10, 11, and 12 of the radio show are my favorites
and they're not in the books story line at all. Double pity.

Wow. You're a good writer. It's all crap, of course, but well
worded crap. Now if you didn't really believe it, you could
move moutains. You could blow up every erection in the world.
This reminds me of my favorite quote from Groucho Marx:
I'm going to Iowa for an award. Then I'm appearing at Carnegie
Hall, it's sold out. Then I'm sailing to France to be honored
by the French government. I'd give it all up for one erection.

I live near the fraternity houses. My neighbor has seen the guys

place. It is a place where the youth live in a police state,
brainwashed by mass education, and treated as second class citizens.
You must realize in the state of Massachusetts, the state legislators
support private schools like Harvard, not UMASS! Harvard is an
upper-class school while UMASS is a middle-class school.
So, one might ask, when is UMASS going to rise up and stop being second

Umm? Aside from kooky scifi stuff (which I love and read all

You know John Glen? The Astronaut/Senator? He had a global
perspective and now he's in the SENATE for crying out loud.
A Global perspective at one point doesn't guaruntee world
knowledge at others. In fact, you'd be further removed from
the very planet you aspire to govern. Versaille is way up
in the hills, away from Paris and the craziness of the big
cities. Certain French monarchs ended life roughly one foot
shorter than when they assumed command, and it wasn't because
of old age. I'd be careful about this Ruling from On High if
I were you.

I'm in Generation XYY. I went out with my inner female for a while,
but we just weren't right for each other. She always knew what I

at best.
There's only one thing necessary for planetary procreation,

If you've seen The Naked Gun you probably remember the scene
where OJ kills... wait, different scene. The scene where Frank
says "Everwhere I go something reminds me of her." as they
drive by some power plant with two domes.
It's between L.A. and San Diego. The best part
is that the, uh, tips have flashing red lights to keep
mesmorized pilots from crashing into them. Great stuff. Who
says architects don't have a sense of humor?

I went to see Naked Gun 33 1/3 at the dollar show (which costs $1.25 here
in Kansas, just because it's Kansas). I recommend watching one of those
movies now, since every scene with OJ is just a lot more funny than they
used to be before he was arrested.
At the beginning, in one of them "scenes," he pulls a knife out. Everyone in
the theater just starts laughing....
Now *that's* entertainment.

Dunno, but something tells me my point may have been missed...
She wants a world without all this shit going down. It's going to be
meaningless to the generations after her if she gets her wish, 'cause
they'll have no appreciation of what the other side -is-. Me personally,
I'd want to see the possibility for cruelty and fragmentation and
ugliness -stillthere-, else I'd fear that my ability to see what's on the
other end of the spectrum would be lost completely. I can understand
wanting to end as much of the pain as possible, but a world without
one side of the yin-yang is no balance, just as much as the world we
have without so much of the other right now.

In Austin, Tx. a statue of a lady on top of the capitol dome waves her
hand in greeting towards the north, where stands the statue of a Forefather
(on the UT campus) waving back. The story I got was that the sculptor got
a bad deal and got pissed, however, the Forefather has his other hand on
the hilt of his sword, which from a common viewing angle looks exactly like
he has a firm grip on *himself* as he waves back. Truly a, um, master stroke.

Ann Arbor is pretty durn flat. (And *humid* in August -- bad hair alert).
The closest thing I can think of to a Phallic Building Worth Seeing is
the bell tower on the University of Michigan central campus. However,
it's a bit too rectangular to qualify.
The local arts-n-events magazine once ran a cover that featured the King
Kong of the Squirrels climbing up the side of the bell tower. This is
only funny if you've ever been scared off your own lawn by the cat-sized
squirrels of Ann Arbor.

Because education is about inner knowledge of the soul, no one can
tell you what is right for you to learn or what subject is going
to turn you on. This is why education has to do with finding your
genius, talent, and skills. When we are talking about one's gifts, we
are talking about one's personal merits. This means education is really
not a democracy, but a meritocracy. Now, how education is a democracy
is that everyone in the world ought to have the resources to find their
true gifts and to be able to express them in public. This is a
democracy. Hence, what we are talking about creating is a
democracy/meritocracy or a spiritual democracy where the divine energy
can reign over the people for the general welfare.

Your recent articles leave a number of questions which are begging to be
answered:
(1) If knowledge is not on Earth, where is it?
(2) Why are vertically-elongated buildings objectionable when that is
the most logical way to build them? Sure, they look somewhat phallic;
but in today's overcrowded world, building upward is easier and more
efficient than building outward. Also, another poster's observation
about the Pentagon is appropriate, if somewhat inaccurate.
(3) How do you propose to obtain the technology, not to mention the
money, for a moon base?
(4) What is a "massgasm"? Why do we need it? How will the Gaia Messiah
help achieve one?
(5) What is the nature of the "new union between the opposite sexes"? A
lot of people are quite satisfied with the current one. In addition, it
happens to be necessary for the propagation of our species.
The rest of the world seeks answers with bated breath...

I love their album "Strategies Against Phalluses", because it sums up

The aforementioned Nebraska State Capitol mentioned above (that should
keep everyone happy) has the famous statue of "The Sower" planting
corn. A few blocks away, on top of the Cornhusker Hotel, is the
statue of "The Cornhusker", waving back.

Short answer: the glasses are awful, she can't sing, all her songs start
to sound the same after a while, and I think she's a twit.
Long answer: Well, things here are slow enough that I guess I'll tell the
story. Gather 'round, kids...
Once, long ago, back when the world I and were young, back when I thought
an e-mail account was something only computer geeks ever needed, I left the
sheltering confines of prep school for Brown University.
Now, at the time, Brown was still the "hot" school to go to, and there
were all sorts of children-of-famous-people running around getting
themselves arrested on drug charges and boycotting grapes and singing in
really awful awful bands. I was young and naive and really wanted to be
Just As Fabulous As the Beautiful People. And so I worked as a writer and
director on a campus TV show which starred people like Calvin Klein's
daughter and Ringo Starr's stepdaughter, and then I worked on a campus
magazine and co-wrote an enjoyably vitriolic column and became a campus
figure myself. In the course of all of this, I met Lisa Loeb. You
couldn't actually help meeting Lisa, since she and Liz Mitchell were
*the* campus band (imaginatively named Liz and Lisa). Liz sang lead,
which was -- trust me -- a better arrangement, and Lisa wrote the songs.
Then a number of things happened -- I lost both my grandparents over the
course of a year and a half (and got "fired" from the TV show for missing
a shoot to sit shiva for my grandfather), my column co-author and I broke
up so loudly that people I didn't meet until six months later said, "yeah,
I heard all about that: sounded bad," and I spent a semester away in the
slightly more down-to-earth precincts of Glasgow, Scotland. When I got
back, I found it difficult to breathe the rarified air at Brown. I looked
back on a lot my efforts as a total waste of time (although to be fair, I
stil enjoy playacting at fabulosity, if only because it disconcerts the
people who know me here) and on the people as jerks. I'll be honest -- I
know most of Lisa's circle of Brown buddies, including the people who got
her on the _Reality Bites_ CD, and I wouldn't rescue the majority of them
from a burning building (and even fewer for any grounds other than
Extreme Physical Beauty).
I've been ill today and I'm blocked on a paper that's entirely too
important to my prufeshunel kurear for my sanity, so if I sound more
bitter than usual I apologize. I don't begrudge the people I know who
have gone in to media careers their success as a general rule -- I've
been known to read their books and see their movies, and I'm really
looking forward to teaching an article by a Brown alum in my Intro.
Composition class in the fall. I don't begrudge Lisa Loeb her hit song
either: it just sounds so damn much like every other song of hers I still
have tattooed on my brain and am heartily sick of, and the publicity about
how she waits tables to make ends meet makes me ill because I know too
many starving artist-types who *don't* have ridiculously wealthy parents
in Dallas to phone for money. In short, I think she's a twit who plays at
Wetlands, and a lot of her fans are twits who go to Wetlands, and -- who
knows? -- it might be catching. You're probably better off with Bowie,
who is (_pace_ Craig) a twit, but a talented and multifaceted twit.
