"The timeframe in which Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party was created also covered the period in which the DDT ban and the manmade-global-warming hoax were unleashed. That DDT ban was imposed for purely political reasons and no scientific imperative at all. It is now killing more than a million people a year in Africa alone, most of them children. While this horrendous death toll is nevertheless small in comparison with the global death toll from imposed poverty, the genocidal effect remains in effect and continues to decimate society. The second horror that came out of that timeframe is the manmade-global-warming hoax that promises to be far more deadly than both horrors combined. It promises a horror show beyond anything we've ever seen or imagined. The manmade-global-warming hoax has been perpetrated in order to prevent a new renaissance from emerging that would result if society would prepare itself for the return of the Ice Age that looms like a dark shadow over mankind's near future. And so, without perhaps being consciously aware of any of that, Judy Chicago has put her art on the line in a powerful manner to help roll back the increasing isolation of society from its humanity that we find so deeply reflected in all of these areas. What she did now stands before us as a monumental challenge. She was almost 'shrieking' then through her work, to the blinded eyes and the deafened ears of society, saying, You fools, can't you see your hypocrisy!
"Well, Anton, maybe a few people saw what she had laid before society. Evidently some people did see something, but far too few did. And so, because of society's general lack in its response to her outcry the collapse of civilization that began in those very days continues unabated and is accelerating. Judy Chicago had invited mankind to 'dance' with her in celebration of our humanity, but far too few have heeded her call. Thus we all remain increasingly isolated from our humanity, more so than ever, which makes the resulting divisions in our present world evermore severe. The current world-financial system is already bankrupt and is hanging by the finest thread, bulging with debt. The debt stands as a liability against the western economies that no longer produce much of anything, but have become a liability themselves. We need a global bankruptcy reorganization before the house falls down, in order to keep people alive, pensions paid, wages protected, industries operating, and to give ourselves the needed credits to rebuild our lost industries that we must have back in order to get society on its feet again with universally affordable housing, transportation, clothing, food, and so on. Unfortunately nothing of the sort is happening, is it? Nobody cares about the other person's humanity, even their own. Society had become isolated from itself. And an end to this tragedy won't be happening for as long as society remains isolated from its humanity as human beings. Judy Chicago invited the world to dance with her as human beings, and so do I invite you for that urgent task."
"But you had sex in mind when you came here and asked me to dance, and you still have that look, Peter," Anton interjected. "You show it in the way you are gazing at me. And then you are trying to excuse it all by calling it a spiritual quality and pretend that it is something noble, and difficult, and enriching. This hasn't been my experience. The woman that you speak of that has put the vulva on women's plate is disgusting and degrading. A woman is more than a vulva."
"Of course a woman is more than a vulva, Anton. But it is at the vulva where were men and women come together most intimately. If we can admit this, we might be able to admit that the whole construct of division and isolation is a myth too, that society likes to maintain. Sex is where the division of mankind is presently the deepest with the greatest isolation coming from it between people that supercedes the worst of what we have in politics. So, where is the core? Isolation is wrecking us. It's strangling our humanity wherever we turn. Were does the healing need to begin? Does it need to begin in politics or at the home gate? I think what we see in politics reflects what we entertain at the home gate. I think Judy Chicago paints the truth before our face and yells at us in the most powerful manner that art can apply that our isolation at the home gate has no real foundation. She demonstrates for all the world to see that we are hypocrites and know that we are hypocrites if we are honest with ourselves. She challenges us to accept that our unity is not lost or is a myth, but is real and is powerfully immediate in our hearts if not in deed, as it is already demonstrated by our sexual desires that bring us together deeply and intimately. Sex is a powerful factor that draws us towards one another. It is an impetus that we are responding to as human beings in the best way we can, even though a lot of healing is needed there too, and which gives us joy if there is an honest response happening. Judy is telling us that far more people in society are responding to this imperative individually than society admits, and that on a wide platform. She asks us one question that the politicians have never asked. She asks us why can't we acknowledge that the universal division of mankind that we bow to with so much pain is a myth? Why can't we be honest with ourselves and with one another? The isolation that we got dragged into as a society, socially and politically over centuries and millennia, is now destroying us. How long shall we wait then before we change course and bridge the isolation and begin a healing in our lives? Sex can help us with that. It challenges us to scrap the isolation, because we don't have it in our heart for the simple reason that it isn't real. We only pretend it to be real. The way I see it, Anton, sex has a role to play in creating a new renaissance on this planet."
