I created this cartoon after I got my hearing aids โฆ I had already had my body augmented with an intravenous port for chemotherapy.
Then, I found my self re-reading Flannery O'Connor's novel, The Violent Bear It Away, and I realized: "I've become just like Rayber!"
Here's what I wrote about the character Rayber when I was a college student in 1977: "Rayber is a schoolteacher whose fondness is for books and papers. He assaults Tarwaterโs urge to baptize Bishop with reason, telling him, โThe old man used to enrage me until I learned better.โ He thus represents intellect and reason, the forces that fight against faith in this book. In order to underscore Rayberโs emphasis on reason, OโConnor pushes him toward the near-machine (and away from the emotional, faithful human) by glasses and a hearing aid. He does not even rest like a human, but does so mechanically, โrelax[ing] one muscle at a time like the books recommended."
I recognized that O'Connor was curious about faith, and that she was also curious about whether "being reasonable" helps faith, gets in the way of faith, or has some other relationship to faith entirely. What's new for me now is that I'm getting a sense of just how dynamically our society was moving, at the time she was writing, toward being an amalgam of processed data points!
That copy of "Systems Analysis" probably belonged to my father. Around the time I was born (1959), he worked for Statistical Tabulating Corp ("Stat Tab") in NYC, and then went on to work run a company in Los Angeles called Universal Data Processing Corp.
It is challenging for someone like me -- living at a time when we all have computers in our hands all the time -- to try to wrap my head around a time when our society was just beginning to view everything as data to be processed.
One of the factors that makes Flannery O'Connor's "out of time" worlds - some would call them "gothic" -- so compelling, I think, is that she was writing on the cusp of a rapidly changing view of how to understand personhood.
So here it is showing up in the story by Flannery O'Connor called โThe Peeler.โ The story became one of the chapters in the novel, Wise Blood. The episode illustrated here involves the proto-prophet Hazel Motes becoming entranced by a potato peeler being hawked by a vendor on a city street.
I wrote a long paper about Wise Blood (and other FO works) in 1977 when I was a freshman in college. What I loved about it was the metaphors and imagery and allusions that occur on page after page, and I thought *I* was special because I had a point of view about how to connect the dots. Returning to the story 43 years later, I was stunned to realize that it was possible that there was a whole OTHER set of dots, waiting there to be connected, perhaps even more interesting and important than the ones I was focused on before. ("How deep does this go???" I wondered.)
The Optner book was the first place I encountered the fundamental systems analysis input/output (I/O) diagram. I don't know how many thousands of times since then I have noodled with some form of this graphic as I tried to solve some problem or other.

Some time in the 1980s, I stumbled on a book in the attic of my mother's house: Systems Analysis for Business Management by Stanford L. Optner. It had a big impact on me.
("What," you may be wondering, "could this possibly have to do with Flannery O'Connor?")
Throwback
Remembering the Structured Systems Analysis and Design course at UMBC. The course required team work on an actual project. I had trouble finding a project to work on. I considered several options. I thought of a website for a family member's pastry business. I even contacted several companies to inquire about projects I might work on. Those options did not work out. I ended up dropping the course the first time I was supposed to take it.
The second time around, I joined a team formed by two brothers. The brothers had a project to work on because they were employed at a company that allowed them to use the project/problem for school. It was an interesting topic too - it dealt with security incidents, an example is the incident reported and recorded when an employee loses a laptop. The team was called Team Maryland.
โ๐ฟ#ArtIsAWeapon #BlackAugust Reposted from #poet @bradwalrond ๐ฃ "God is not in it! God is not in it! God is not in It! God is not in it! God is not in it! God is not in it! Will you really remain unwilling to turn your head, humble your heart? Concede your tragic mistake? Are you really choosing to cast your lot here to itโs gruesome end? your legacy? your reputation? your conscience? There has to be a moment in any society where heartbreak supersedes all other emotion; it is a heartbreak of horror to watch so many good people become so radicalized and vicious, and incomprehensible and undone in order to become the rank and file of an incontrovertible lie. A mob, puffed up by pure deceit and narcissistic rage willing to crucify a whole country for the sake of a delusion all too able to kill us all. Yes! Some things must be ABSOLUTELY true." #systemsanalysis #stateoftheunion #GodIsNotInIt #BlackCreatives #SpokenWord #Truthtellers #Humanity #Poem #BlackCreatives #WhiteDomesticTerrorism #ThisIsAmerica https://www.instagram.com/p/CSEMrwNrp0b/?utm_medium=tumblr
