Notes from a history of incontinence

Disgust lingers in the distance between being and language. The way language comes back at us. Forced to hear what we say. The violence of self awareness.  We are never one with being—which is both noun and verb. In the mirror of language there is something monstrous. Something which cannot be named. Neither who we are nor other.

@nigeltde for your consideration

I don’t entirely agree, but I see what he’s getting at.

Lacanian analysis can be applied to anything. For example, your dog bites you: Fido encounters the Real through the Symbolic of the command, 'heel'. Jouissance comes to bear on the master/slave dynamic which functions between man and dog.

Great Baruchs in world history

#1 Baruch Spinoza

[annoyingenthusiastnut-blog]

The task of modern philosophy has been defined: to overturn Platonism. That this overturning should conserve many Platonic characteristics is not only inevitable but desirable. It is true that Platonism already represents the subordination of difference to the powers of the One, the Analogous, the Similar and even the Negative. It is like an animal in the process of being tamed, whose final resistant movements bear witness better than they would in a state of freedom to a nature soon to be lost: the Heraclitan world still growls in Platonism.

My second-favourite novel

[annoyingenthusiastnut-blog]

The more our daily life appears standardised, stereotyped, and subject to an accelerated reproduction of objects of consumption, the more art must be injected into it in order to extract from it that little difference which plays simultaneously between other levels of repetition, and even in order to make the two extremes resonate—namely, the habitual series of consumption and the instinctual series of destruction and death.

A great writer is always like a foreigner in the language which he expresses himself, even if this is his native tongue. At the limit, he draws his strength from a mute and unknown minority that belongs only to him. He is a foreigner in his own language: he does not mix another language with his own language, he carves out a nonpreexistent foreign language within his own language. He makes the language itself scream, stutter, stammer, or murmur.
