[A. At this point, a number of formidable difficulties present themselves - cont'd]

[3. It is through the reciprocal and tangled history of truth and desire that we can answer this question "what is desired first and fundamentally?" - cont'd].

[a. The first paradox to note concerns the history of truth: man poses the truth to control chaos - cont'd]

ii. Or again:

—“Truth is

a kind of error, without which a certain species of living beings could not live

what ultimately decides is its value for life.” (The Will to Power).

—The truth is therefore the order of life:

the more vigorous and demanding it is, the stronger, more restrictive and heavier the truth thus imposed will be

but at the same time, the more we advance along the path of this falsification, of this fraud-lie which takes with it the "want that it does not change", the "want that it does not change" specific to the will to truth

– Michel Foucault, Status and History of Truth, (Conferences given at the University of McGill, April 1971: Annex 2), from Nietzsche: Cours, conférences et travaux, edited by Bernard E. Harcourt

Marvin Gaye photographed by Ed Caraeff in Van Nuys, California on March 28, 1976.

Ed Caraeff: “Marvin was one of a very few I photographed that I was in awe of meeting. I was a big fan. He was not in a good mood, going thru a divorce, obligated to release an album by his father in law’s (Berry Gordy) record company. Motown hired me to ‘replicate a place in Jamaica that Marvin had just returned from.’ The photographs were never published. The cover used on Here, My Dear is a funky b & w illustration.”

[Correction: Berry Gordy was his brother in law, Marvin was married to his sister Anna Gordy]

when james baldwin said “you think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. it was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.” I felt that big, big time
