An Autopsy

If being cynical is cool, then an intelligent person will act cynical when they want to appear cool. We therefore (mistakenly) associate cynicism with intelligence.

Was God killed by the ultimate cynicism?

The divinity of abstract numbers is something intelligent

It is the ultimate compassion of the intellect.

NASA is fishy.

Hard to believe this is reality.

I guess I just have to hang on a little longer - I just thought it would be sooner than this.

Sometimes I feel like art is the only reason I live. But then I realize that purpose has no purpose.

‘Frequency’ definition

Frequency as unity = the context of attention

Frequency as plurality = contexts of space, time etc.

Frequency as totality = the whole picture: Art is not something controlled by humans... nor is the more general concept of culture. Memes, TV shows and politics are beyond human knowledge, action or purpose. In short, the artist is someone who can bring nothingness into existence, to make it into a context for frequency generation and detection [[. Hence our most fundamental categories are those nearest to the nothingness, so-called ‘primitive meanings’. A pre-logical form, on the other hand, is transcendental relative to reason -- to the science that wants to know nothing of the nothing.

Conspiracy is one such pre-logical context for art, where temporal frequencies can be generated by the seemingly basic forms of movies, stories and illustrations [[cultural artifacts]]

Thinking about limits

5.6 The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.

5.61 Logic pervades the world: the limits of the world are also its limits.

5.632 The subject does not belong to the world: rather, it is a limit of the world.

Ludwig Wittgenstein (Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus)

If the limit discovered by rebellion transfigures everything, if every thought, every action that goes beyond a certain point negates itself, there is, in fact, a measure by which to judge events and men.

Albert Camus (’Moderation and Excess’ in The Rebel)

One-liner

Compassion is just playing the forced hand of love after the nothing becomes distinct from my alienation.

Candidates for Temporal Objects

Alfread Whitehead’s Process Metaphysics: Actual Entities

Jacob Boehme’s 7 properties: Forms of Spirits

Buckminster Fuller’s Octave Wave: Unit Quantation of Nature

Robert Fludd’s Quaternary: Monochord of the World

A temporal object is posited in the sense of a noumenal object of intellectual intuition. Perhaps it has a merely private form that can be generalized only with mathematical precision and formality.

Why I have trouble acting

The essential question about human action is: what can be deliberately planned as an end and what not.

Or, what can be desired, and what disappears precisely because it is desired.

Or, what can be actually attained by planning and what is made impossible precisely because it becomes the end of a plan.

-Karl Jaspers (Reason and Existenz,1955)

An Empirical Concept

Synchronicity is defined as a mirror, an origin, a dimension.

Your question concerns the limits of understanding not for ‘a human being’ but the human being.

Your question has a more basic answer in phenomenology: synchronicity is an experience. It designates, first and foremost, a fact of consciousness.

In opposition to a scientism that would otherwise terminate all questioning and awareness, we must inquire together: how do we know?

[this is nothing]

I Won't Let You Down

Hofstadter had previously expressed disappointment with how Gödel, Escher, Bach, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1980 for general nonfiction, was received. In the preface to its 20th-anniversary edition, Hofstadter laments that the book was perceived as a hodgepodge of neat things with no central theme. He states: "GEB is a very personal attempt to say how it is that animate beings can come out of inanimate matter. What is a self, and how can a self come out of stuff that is as selfless as a stone or a puddle?"

Just one of those nights

...where you figure out science, philosophy and art. You draw the connections between the natural sciences and the social sciences. Value is of no value and everything is everything. One of those nights, where you realize your true dream. The real dream. A night when you can predict the future but still can't wait to see what happens next. A night where the past is present and the present is also, present. Here is an idea that can transform itself, here is an idea that can adapt. An idea that is truly objective and beautiful. An idea that is truly subjective and logical. An idea made from every other one and ones expressed in all forms. All forms of information and all forms of data are collected and expressed. All forms of knowledge are united. And all forms of wisdom are in operation. The pattern has entered a strange loop which now emanates in my own thought.

One of those nights you decided to write a book full of metalogues. That's right, metalogues. I've already written one, in fact, and the effect was incredible - or maybe it was the Glenfiddich.

Lucid Dreaming

It's like any skill. It requires practice, patience and passion. I'm making incredible progress!
