all at once
“This is madness!” I screamed. All at once and silently inside my head. I knew no one knew, or would know for that matter. I have made a careful art of keeping such unsavory and obvious remarks to myself. After all nobody prefers the role of “dupe”, least of all me.
I have spent hours, countless (or nearly so) hours toiling over metaphysics of this or that philosopher, physics, mathematics, psychology, history, religion etc. and have come to understand them. Well, at least some of them…I think. And still, still there is this gaping blind spot a mile wide…no, scratch that. I can’t even say because I have NO fucking idea of the breadth or width of my own blindness when it comes to me.
Call it tradition, culture, parents of parents that seems to form a fractal of infinite regress that makes the skin crawl? I am uneasy. Where to dig in? Does anyone even know that the future is being formed right now? Do they care? Have we become such a fuck, suck and consume culture that we can’t even take stock of our own psyches?
I or we, depending on how much you are willing to admit to yourself, are now taxed, not only with coping with the miasma, inaccurately called “the state of the world”, but also with trying to get to the root causes of why we are so fucked up.
bon appetit,
