Is there a direction to history
or is it in fits and starts
over periods of time that are too vast for our comprehension? rabbit…
oh well on to cheery things… on a sunny Friday morning on the west coast of a small country, which is thankfully cool, at minus a couple…
a writer whom i have been exchanging criticism for work has told me my writing is racist to which i agreed not in a manifest destiny kind of way…just an acknowledgement that their are cultural differences as the sociology professors mumble…
my editor accuses me of sexualizing my characters
and an old friend says over the last year i have become more and more arrogant…
“energetically i feel…”
is the beginning of a sentence
that can go no where but to
an interpretation
which will be based on an ideology which ties in nicely with consumerism which at a frivolous level is the attempt to make the first person feel good…
we all have holes to fill…to bad yachts don’t fill them…
Hegel and I
pride, shame and lust say i
pride, shame and the need for recognition says Hegel
through lust one is recognized? or perhaps love is too obvious
tantra…
the erotic union
of emptiness and form…
yes the trees are alive…
birds
the birds are hungry
so i empty their dish of shells
and put it back empty
which confuses them to no end…I surmise
they keep looking in my direction
and chirping…
geopolitical
from what i can gather there is a toppling of the far right (totalitarianism) in the Middle East in 2011
which is similar to the fall of communism, (the far left)
starting with the fall of the Berlin Wall which was in 1989 for my young readers…so for you history buffs the far left fell before the far right…
which means a dictator is a more effective…if people are educated in a liberal democracy, a liberal democracy looks more inviting than unelected central governments…
it seems the best we can do is pretend that we have elections that are democratic to support a central government who control our lives…we are being treated as children…a Greek god would argue…
the rest pessimistically see little merit in human nature…
except the elite who see much merit in their obscene accumulation…some how they justify their existence too gods which in the sense of privilege they are…
The Elite
the 14 million families who own most of it
(in the face of 7 billion this is not a lot
14,000,000 divided by 7,000,0000,000
is .2% of the population)
as the mad French writer Bataille notes,
“I believe that truth has only one face: that of violent contradiction.”
it’s all good…
