Re: The necessary context of action, purpose, and ambition

Let's just say that I am fully aware it's not a truth statement that you would make, jupiviv.

Re: The necessary context of action, purpose, and ambition

It is self-evidently absolutely true that there is what we refer to as consciousness/impermanent appearances. Everything else lies therein. Everything else is a reference to these. Everything else is a manifestation/aspect of these. As for you, try harder . You are wrong, and absolutely are contrad...

Re: The necessary context of action, purpose, and ambition

a constantly changing experience of constant change This is so far away from an absolute truth, it’s not even funny. I'll tell you very plainly what it is: a total and utter confabulation of language that can’t even be called a relative truth, which implies, or "contains", the condition o...

Re: Christians and me, Part II:

To the Pantomime of Many Faces but the Same Character: Well, Leyla, I think it more revealing to posit that the essence of the Jew is practicality, but I think you would be better off gaining greater insight into a more essentialist antisemitic stance. (Or an 'anti-Jewish' stance as that is the term...

The Meaning of Love is 43

  • How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed made
    By looking on thee in the living day,
    When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade
    Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!

Re: Christians and me, Part II:

I see your point. You need say no more. Lol. Yeah, sure you do. ~ The one true metaphysic is the ethno-cultural metaphysic. Why? "Because praxis.” The essence of the practical Jew is money. Money buys you the necessary time to study the history of your people and your roots so that you can fin...

Re: Christians and me, Part II:

Look, if you (Leyla and Diebert) can allow yourselves a swim in surreal and absurd Lacanian language-torrents, and end up saying nothing at all, since *meaning* as a possibility had been abandoned, why cannot I bring Lear into this?

Re: Christians and me, Part II:

The bow is bent and drawn, Leyla. Make from the shaft. ;-) And what will you do, old man ? Chomsky referred to Lacan as an 'amusing and perfectly self-conscious charlatan' which doesn't quite rise to the level of a barb. I have mused at some of your recent gibberish: impenetrable and irrational Ley...

And since we're on the subject of Lacan, in our dear friend Gustav we see the typical Hysterics Discourse, the Masters (who must be obeyed without justification) in that discourse being QRS (and anyone else who doesn't answer all his questions for him), whom he badgers for answers and against whom h...

Re: The necessary context of action, purpose, and ambition

To have it work, as full, complete seduction, I don't think it could belong just to the symbolic order. Does it not essentially break the rule? Or overrule? It generally works by thwarting power or at least divert it, senselessly, irrationally but still effectively. That the outward mode can appear...

Re: The necessary context of action, purpose, and ambition

Interesting line of thought. although I generally read Lacan though Baudrillardish lenses (which would be "meta-critical" I guess). It certainly lends itself to a formidable complex of libidinal possibility. Here the idea could arise that the demand for fullness, completeness, the whole c...

Re: The necessary context of action, purpose, and ambition

One has to start from the beginning, and is the experience of 'consciousness' not the beginning of all philosophy? It is the default position, the nature of things as they are, No, it isn’t. It’s the beginning of the sum of our personal experience. ...not as Jup imagines they might be. You don’t ha...

And we're still waiting for you to provide the proofs in support of your claim that you "know how to think". Where is your philosophy? Surely it's more than that oversimplification -- that well-worn "absolute truth" -- you call "direct experience"...

In the Name of the Father

That happens where females or males identify, in the pre-symbolic mirror phase of the imaginary order, with the mother as “Ideal I”—that fullness, comfort, joy, the capacity to fulfil every need on demand; abundance. Here there is no ascension (as Lacan would have it) from the mirror phase into the ...

This is Diebert's Mirror . :) It's true although in reality quite a lot worse! The face in the back is just as well looking at his fantasticaly tiny body in his own mirror.
