LUMPENPROLETARIAT—WTF?

Another musical legend has come to an untimely end.  It has been reported that the last song Chris Cornell played on stage last night was “In My Time of Dying“, a Led Zeppelin cover of a traditional gospel song.  Or, at least, it was incorporated into the set closer.  Dear gawd, please don’t tell us he hung himself.  Foul play or not, the world lost a piece of its soul yesterday.  If despair be the killer, may we bring more light and warmth to this ofttimes cold and dark world.  If big pharma is to blame, may the truth come to light, so nobody else suffers the same fate.

Condolences go out to the Cornell family.

UPDATE—[19 MAY 2017]  It has been reported today, by the Associated Press, Detroit Free Press, Slacker Radio, and other sources, that the Cornell family is disputing the medical examiner’s conclusion that Chris Cornell took his own life.  From the outset, there were mixed reports in the press.  Some sources reported that Chris Cornell was found with a belt around his neck, while others reported that he was found with a “band” around his neck.  But it was questionable that authorities seemed to have come to such an open-and-shut case of “suicide by hanging” so soon when no toxicology reports had yet been made.  Cornell’s wife, Vicky Cornell, has now reported that Chris Cornell had a prescription for Ativan, an anti-anxiety medication, and had told her in a phone call after the Detroit concert that he may have taken “an extra Ativan or two” and was experiencing slurred speech.  The most salient point about this revelation is that Ativan is known for having adverse side-effects, including suicidality.  If Chris Cornell’s death can be linked somehow to Ativan, it would seem the prescription drug company would be held liable.

WIKIPEDIA—[accessed 18 MAY 2017]  Chris Cornell (born Christopher John Boyle; July 20, 1964 – May 17, 2017) was an American musician, singer and songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist, primary songwriter and rhythm guitarist for Seattle rock band Soundgarden and as lead vocalist and songwriter for the group Audioslave.  He was also known for his numerous solo works and soundtrack contributions since 1991, and as founder and frontman for Temple of the Dog, the one-off tribute band dedicated to his late friend Andrew Wood.

Cornell was known for his role as one of the architects of the 1990s grunge movement, for his extensive catalog as a songwriter and for his near four octave vocal range[3] as well as his powerful vocal belting technique.  He released four solo studio albums, Euphoria Morning (1999), Carry On (2007), Scream (2009), Higher Truth (2015) and the live album Songbook (2011).  Cornell received a Golden Globe Award nomination for his song “The Keeper” which appeared in the film Machine Gun Preacher and co-wrote and performed the theme song to the James Bond film Casino Royale (2006), “You Know My Name“.  He was voted “Rock’s Greatest Singer” by readers of Guitar World,[4] ranked 4th in the list of “Heavy Metal’s All-Time Top 100 Vocalists” by Hit Parader,[5] 9th in the list of “Best Lead Singers of All Time” by Rolling Stone,[6] and 12th in MTV’s “22 Greatest Voices in Music”.[7]

CBS DETROIT—[18 MAY 2017]  Chris Cornell Found Dead

Rocker Chris Cornell, frontman for Soundgarden and Audioslave, died following a sold out show at the Fox Theatre in Detroit.

A police source talking to WWJ Newsradio 950 Thursday morning said the 52-year-old singer-songwriter was found in the bathroom of his room at the MGM Grand Detroit hotel, after apparently taking his own life.

An autopsy by the Wayne County Medical Examiner later determined Cornell committed suicide by hanging.

According to a source familiar with the investigation, Cornell went back to his room at the MGM after the Soundgarden show; and, shortly after midnight, his wife called a band member and asked if he would check on Cornell.  The band member, along with MGM security, broke into the locked room and found Cornell dead with a belt around his neck.

Detroit police spokesman Micheal Woody would not confirm any details, but said “basic things” discovered at the scene led investigators immediately to suspect suicide.

NPR—[18 MAY 2017]  Death of Chris Cornell, Powerhouse Voice of Soundgarden, Ruled a Suicide

Doreen McCallister and Colin Dwyer

Updated at 2:25 p.m. ET

Chris Cornell, the unmistakable voice and frontman of the bands Soundgarden and Audioslave, died overnight in Detroit at the age of 52.  He was discovered just past midnight at the MGM Grand Detroit, according to police.

The office of the Wayne County Medical Examiner on Thursday determined the cause of his death to be suicide by hanging, noting that a full autopsy has yet to be completed.

“His wife Vicky and family were shocked to learn of his sudden and unexpected passing, and they will be working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause,” Brian Bumbery, Cornell’s representative, says in a statement.  “They would like to thank his fans for their continuous love and loyalty and ask that their privacy be respected at this time.”

THE NEW YORK TIMES—[18 MAY 2017]  Chris Cornell, Soundgarden and Audioslave Frontman, Dies at 52

CARYN GANZ and CHRISTOPHER D. SHEA

Chris Cornell, the powerful, dynamic singer whose band Soundgarden was one of the architects of grunge music, died on Wednesday night in Detroit after the band had earlier performed there. He was 52.

In a statement released Thursday afternoon, the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office said the death was a suicide by hanging. It said a full autopsy had not yet been completed.

Soundgarden played at the Fox Theater in Detroit on Wednesday night, and it had been scheduled to perform in Columbus, Ohio, on Friday at the Rock on the Range festival.

Dontae Freeman, a spokesman for the Detroit Police Department, said in an interview that officers went to the MGM Grand hotel and casino around midnight in response to a call about an apparent suicide of a white man, whom he did not identify. Mr. Freeman said the man’s date of birth was July 20, 1964, which is Mr. Cornell’s.

DETROIT FREE PRESS—[18 MAY 2017]  Chris Cornell’s final performance: Something clearly wasn’t right

Ashley Zlatopolsky

Last night just seemed like another Soundgarden show — my fifth time seeing the iconic grunge band live, and second time in Detroit.  It’s hard to pass up a good rock show at downtown Detroit’s Fox Theatre, one of the city’s architectural gems and a staple in its music history, its stage graced by the likes of Iggy Pop and Prince.

But when I woke up this morning, everything had changed.  And the sold-out show suddenly took on a different meaning.

Chris Cornell, Soundgarden’s lead singer, was found dead in his hotel room at MGM Grand Detroit just hours after the group performed at the Fox, with a medical examiner now ruling his death a suicide.

Even without the benefit of hindsight from the morning’s awful news, it was clear that something wasn’t right with the 52-year-old Cornell during the Fox performance. He often staggered back-and-forth across the stage, and seemed weak in his movements. Just one or two songs in, it was as if the energy had exited his body, and what was left was a shell of a man scrambling to do his job.

[Cornell’s final tweet was a shout-out to Detroit: Read what he said here.]

It’s not that the nearly two-hour show itself was bad, but it seemed like Cornell wasn’t mentally present.

DETROIT FREE PRESS—[19 MAY 2017]  Family disputes Chris Cornell’s death was intentional

Associated Press

The family of Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell is disputing “inferences that Chris knowingly and intentionally” killed himself.

The family said in a statement that without toxicology tests completed, they can’t be sure what led to his death, or if any substances were involved.  According to lawyer Kirk Pasich, Cornell had a prescription for the anti-anxiety drug Ativan, which he said has various side effects.

NDTV—[14 MAY 2017]  Muslim-American Woman Allegedly Thrown Out of US Bank for Wearing a Hijab

Jamela Mohamed went to a branch of Sound Credit Union in Washington state on Friday to make a car payment.

Highlights

  1. Jamela Mohamed, recorded the incident on her cellphone
  2. The staff threatened to call the police if she did not ‘remove her hood’
  3. The bank admitted the situation was not handled well and apologised

New York: A Muslim-American woman was allegedly thrown out of a bank in the US for ‘wearing a hijab’ – with the staff threatening to call the police if she did not ‘remove her hood’. Jamela Mohamed went to a branch of Sound Credit Union in Washington state on Friday to make a car payment.

Ms Mohamed, an American and a member of the credit union, recorded part of the incident on her mobile phone, claiming it shows blatant ‘discrimination’.

She said she had been wearing a sweater and had the hood up because it was a Friday, which is when Muslims offer weekly prayers in the afternoon. The teller asked Ms Mohamed to take off her hood. A sign inside the Credit Union says hats, hoods and sunglasses are not allowed, ABC-affiliated television station KOMO-TV reported.

Ms Mohamed said she was following the policy so she went to her car to grab her headscarf, or hijab. She went back in with her scarf, while still wearing her hood, the report said.

While she was waiting, Ms Mohamed says she took some video of the sign and of two male customers wearing baseball caps because they were being helped without any issues.

“Why am I witnessing a man being serviced with a hat on and I’m being told to take off my hood?” she asked.

“This is my hood. My face is showing and so I currently do have an issue today. I’m being polite, I’m complying. I simply stated that I just need to pay my car note today,” she said to a teller again.

The Humanist Manifestos: Secular Egalitarian Opposition to Profit Motive and its Social Ills Since the Great Depression

13 Thu Apr 2017

Dr. John Dewey (1859–1952), Dr. Roy Wood Sellars (1880-1973), Humanist Manifesto (1933), Minister Edwin Henry Wilson (1898–1993), Minister Raymond Bennett Bragg (1902–1979)

LUMPENPROLETARIAT—In a recent interview, eminent sociologist Dr. Immanuel Wallerstein cited a relatively obscure theorist named Dr. Ilya Prigogine.  Who?  A cursory scan of Dr. Prigogine’s biography reveals him to be one of the Nobel laureate signatories to the most recent of the Humanist Manifestos published in 2003 by the American Humanist Association (AHA).  The Humanist Manifestos? What’s that?

You may have heard of the Communist Manifesto.  But you probably haven’t heard of the Humanist Manifesto, which stakes out a set of principles along slightly different lines.  (Although, those two manifestos do not appear to be necessarily incompatible.)  In the case of the latter, various humanists have endeavoured to formally articulate their particular ideals, or unifying principles, since the drafting of the original Humanist Manifesto in 1933, whose signatories included academic and civic leaders, such as Dr. John Dewey, the eminent American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer, whose ideas have been influential in education and social reform.  The establishment of unifying principles is always helpful for mutual understanding in any society, and especially for galvanising relevant political clout.  Since 1933, various variants have valiantly vied for voicing the vital virtues of humanism.  For example, consider this reasonable variant from 1980:

  1. Free Inquiry
  2. Separation of Church and State
  3. The Ideal of Freedom
  4. Ethics Based on Critical Intelligence
  5. Moral Education
  6. Religious Skepticism
  7. Reason
  8. Science and Technology
  9. Evolution
  10. Education

WIKIPEDIA—[accessed 19 APR 2017]  Humanist Manifesto is the title of three manifestos laying out a Humanist worldview.  They are the original Humanist Manifesto (1933, often referred to as Humanist Manifesto I), the Humanist Manifesto II (1973), and Humanism and Its Aspirations (2003, a.k.a. Humanist Manifesto III).  The Manifesto originally arose from religious Humanism, though secular Humanists also signed.

The central theme of all three manifestos is the elaboration of a philosophy and value system which does not necessarily include belief in any personal deity or “higher power”, although the three differ considerably in their tone, form, and ambition.  Each has been signed at its launch by various prominent members of academia and others who are in general agreement with its principles.

In addition, there is a similar document entitled A Secular Humanist Declaration published in 1980 by the Council for Secular Humanism.

Humanist Manifesto I

The first manifesto, entitled simply A Humanist Manifesto, was written in 1933 primarily by Dr. Roy Wood Sellars and Unitarian Minister Raymond Bragg and was published with 34 signatories including philosopher Dr. John Dewey.  Unlike the later ones, the first Manifesto talked of a new “religion”, and referred to Humanism as a religious movement to transcend and replace previous religions based on allegations of supernatural revelation.  The document outlines a fifteen-point belief system, which, in addition to a secular outlook, opposes “acquisitive and profit-motivated society” and outlines a worldwide egalitarian society based on voluntary mutual cooperation, language which was considerably softened by the Humanists’ board, owners of the document, twenty years later.

The title “A Humanist Manifesto”—rather than “The Humanist Manifesto”—was intentional, predictive of later Manifestos to follow, as indeed has been the case.  Unlike the creeds of major organised religions, the setting out of Humanist ideals in these Manifestos is an ongoing process.  Indeed, in some communities of Humanists the compilation of personal Manifestos is actively encouraged, and throughout the Humanist movement it is accepted that the Humanist Manifestos are not permanent or authoritative dogmas but are to be subject to ongoing critique.

Humanist Manifesto II

The second Manifesto was written in 1973 by Dr. Paul Kurtz and Minister Edwin H. Wilson, and was intended to update and replace the previous one.  It begins with a statement that the excesses of Nazism and World War II had made the first seem “far too optimistic” and indicated a more hardheaded and realistic approach in its seventeen-point statement, which was much longer and more elaborate than the previous version.  Nevertheless, much of the unbridled optimism of the first remained, with hopes stated that war would become obsolete and poverty would be eliminated.

Many of the proposals in the document, such as opposition to racism and weapons of mass destruction and support of strong human rights, are fairly uncontroversial; and its prescriptions, that divorce and birth control should be legal and that technology can improve life, are widely accepted today in much of the Western world.  Furthermore, its proposal of an international court has since been implemented.  However, in addition to its rejection of supernaturalism, various controversial stances are strongly supported, notably the right to abortion.

Initially published with a small number of signatures, the document was circulated and gained thousands more, and indeed the AHA website encourages visitors to add their own name.  A provision at the end noted that signators do “not necessarily endors[e] every detail” of the document.

Among the oft-quoted lines from this 1973 Manifesto are, “No deity will save us; we must save ourselves,” and “We are responsible for what we are and for what we will be,” both of which may present difficulties for members of certain Christian, Jewish, and Muslim sects, or other believers in doctrines of submission to the will of an all-powerful God.

Expanding upon the role the public education establishment should play to bring about the goals described in the Humanist Manifesto II, John Dunphy wrote:

I am convinced that the battle for humankind’s future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers that correctly perceive their role as proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity that recognizes and respects the spark of what theologians call divinity in every human being…  The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and new—the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with all its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism, resplendent with the promise of a world in which the never-realized Christian ideal of ‘love thy neighbor’ will finally be achieved.”

Humanist Manifesto III

Humanism and Its Aspirations, subtitled Humanist Manifesto III, a successor to the Humanist Manifesto of 1933, was published in 2003 by the AHA, and was written by committee.  Signatories included 21 Nobel laureates.  The new document is the successor to the previous ones, and the name “Humanist Manifesto” is the property of the American Humanist Association.

The newest manifesto is deliberately much shorter, listing seven primary themes, which echo those from its predecessors:

  • Knowledge of the world is derived by observation, experimentation, and rational analysis.  (See empiricism.)
  • Humans are an integral part of nature, the result of evolutionary change, an unguided process.
  • Ethical values are derived from human need and interest as tested by experience.  (See ethical naturalism.)
  • Life’s fulfillment emerges from individual participation in the service of humane ideals.
  • Humans are social by nature and find meaning in relationships.
  • Working to benefit society maximizes individual happiness.
  • Respect for differing yet humane views in an open, secular, democratic, environmentally sustainable society

Other Manifestos for Humanism

Aside from the official Humanist Manifestos of the American Humanist Association, there have been other similar documents.  “Humanist Manifesto” is a trademark of the AHA.  Formulation of new statements in emulation of the three Humanist Manifestos is encouraged, and examples follow.

A Secular Humanist Declaration

In 1980, the Council for Secular Humanism, founded by Dr. Paul Kurtz, which is typically more detailed in its discussions regarding the function of Humanism than the AHA, published what is in effect its manifesto, entitled A Secular Humanist Declaration. It has as its main points:

  1. Free Inquiry
  2. Separation of Church and State
  3. The Ideal of Freedom
  4. Ethics Based on Critical Intelligence
  5. Moral Education
  6. Religious Skepticism
  7. Reason
  8. Science and Technology
  9. Evolution
  10. Education

A Secular Humanist Declaration was an argument for and statement of support for democratic secular humanism.  The document was issued in 1980 by the Council for Democratic and Secular Humanism (“CODESH”), now the Council for Secular Humanism (“CSH”).  Compiled by Paul Kurtz, it is largely a restatement of the content of the American Humanist Association‘s 1973 Humanist Manifesto II, of which he was co-author with Edwin H. Wilson.  Both Wilson and Kurtz had served as editors of The Humanist, from which Kurtz departed in 1979 and thereafter set about establishing his own movement and his own periodical.  His Secular Humanist Declaration was the starting point for these enterprises.

Humanist Manifesto 2000

Humanist Manifesto 2000: A Call for New Planetary Humanism is a book by Dr. Paul Kurtz published in 2000.  It differs from the other three in that it is a full-length book rather than essay-length, and was published not by the American Humanist Association but by the Council for Secular Humanism.  In it, Dr. Kurtz argues for many of the points already formulated in Humanist Manifesto 2, of which he had been co-author in 1973.

Amsterdam Declaration

The Amsterdam Declaration 2002 is a statement of the fundamental principles of modern humanism passed unanimously by the General Assembly of the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU) at the 50th anniversary World Humanist Congress in 2002.  According to the IHEU, the declaration “is the official statement of World Humanism.”

It is officially supported by all member organisations of the IHEU including:

  • American Humanist Association
  • British Humanist Association
  • Humanist Canada
  • Council of Australian Humanist Societies
  • Council for Secular Humanism
  • Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association
  • Human-Etisk Forbund, the Norwegian Humanist Association
  • Humanist Association of Ireland
  • Indian Humanist Union
  • Philippine Atheists and Agnostics Society (PATAS)

A complete list of signatories can be found on the IHEU page (see references).

This declaration makes exclusive use of capitalized Humanist and Humanism, which is consistent with IHEU’s general practice and recommendations for promoting a unified Humanist identity.  To further promote Humanist identity, these words are also free of any adjectives, as recommended by prominent members of IHEU.  Such usage is not universal among IHEU member organizations, though most of them do observe these conventions.
