Gotta work on getting it all out da 1st time round

Permanent Linkby xod_s on Fri May 02, 2014 3:41 am

And how can I forget to add that there is goodness in all cultures?,which I speak of b/c it's been by looking around that I feel good enough to say this and it's those varied thoughts on human nature stemming from within me,from others,from things,from ways and methods etc that keep me healthy as well.

Don't worry the heavy "grey to dark" spectrum of stuff that I just saw in Elysium is something that is tempered by a greater thing I observed earlier today.Right when I was getting thirsty at the library and restless from reading "Derrida for beginners" by Jim Powell (a book from '97-ish which I finally got to reading after reading the '05-ish book "Deconstruction for beginners" published after Derrida's death) and after the stuff about his stink up after the scandal of the 2 yrs dead Paul De Man getting heat having written for a pro-Nazi newspaper in early 40's Belgium there was a beautiful part on how the Madhayamika school of Buddhism (founded by an early Buddhist teacher Nagarjuna) can be said to be a Buddhist form of deconstruction.

Not deconstructing institutions like it became popular to do after deconstruction was introduced to the States in the mid 60's,right when Derrida (like right outta France) was suppose to lecture on it but with his stuff and mind saying it was "passe" (thus making *post*structualism) but deconstructing the self introspectively including the emotions.It brought me to tears.Again,the like tetralemma Nagarjuna uses to deconstruct fear popped up.Sure I guess I can retort on how Nagarjuna's deconstruction only works b/c from what I was getting in those 3 pages on Madhayamika was a brewing inside me of how maybe there's no concept of aseity,a metaphysical concept that seems so badly overlooked by ppl in spite ironically being the cause of like "self-sustained" being/existence.

(In Christianity it's used to describe the attribute of how God "just is" and is not created b/c of his self-independence and self-existence)

And also beautiful was how it explained about deconstructive psychotheraphy.Not a vicicously "tearing apart" thing like you may be have misgivings/be misdirected to think b/c of the word "deconstructive".It's something that the philosophy of decontruction has contributed a lot to building/making (ironic pun intended) :wink: .

I've heard how to define deconstructionism would go against the point.It's one reason why this "reading method" is both so liked and hated by philosophers..although the phrase "linguistic nihlism" is a nice one to pitched for making a pithy.I'm sure I saw it in the subject-specific dictionary style book my brother took out "Cultural theory:the key concepts" edited by Andrew Edgar and Peter Sedgwick.

F--- I should've gotten that/or those lines on what emptiness is (a "tool" so you won't cling on (?)) down.

Maybe it's just b/c of the ones I've read most of them have been philosophy ones :roll: but those "..for beginners" books while great infotainment for me have some thematically disturbing drawings,sometimes so crude,sometimes so bizzare.The one I've read on Einstein and African history weren't like that for one thing.The one on linguistics was mediocre-ish tbh and the one of semiotics hardly made any sense.Maaybe :| ,it was me not getting the topic itself although the few mentions of "biosemiotics" and animal behavior were fun and intuitive enough.

And something else I'd like to reveal?,I feel compelled to say about stuff like this sometimes b/c of how I don't want ppl who got/listened to what I previously said to think I'm full of more/mostly full of negativity.Maybe it is/call it "over compensation" but I'm doing it/that's what I do,like to Ada (if she's reading this) who shares that name with the first name of an aunt who we call mostly by her middle name (like with my family and me) and who I think was a subject of talk by someone I came across who was talking on the phone yesterday :wink: .

A worry right now?.If having brought "Captain Phillips" will be a movie demonizing Somali ppl.I've actually heard that the pirating has dropped a lil' and this cracked article was nice.

Cracked.Crack*{ed}* :) .B/c instead of having a biochemical substance like caffeine rolling around yer head everyday as a daily "pick me up",I prefer (I'll admit) sometimes bawdy humor articles b/c laughter is the best medicine,a preventive of some sorts of stuff when taken on a daily basis and in a (screwed up? :wink: "^u^) way my writing and perception of world has improved in little degrees here and there.

We think too much and feel too little.
 More than machinery, we need humanity.
 More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
