instead of abstracting from critical response I will respond to the actual work

the telling line is "separation is illusion"

separation in time is illusion. separation in space is illusion

without separation, time and space are themselves illusions

pain and loss are real

love is the authentic heart response of beings thrown together into worlds subject to contingency

if truth is unconditional, then all conditions are false

historicity, facticity, culture, belonging and alienation, anxiety and despair - detailed and exalted to be deconstructed

we must seek out that which is most foreign to see the foreignness of our selves

we must seek out that which terrifies with cold snaky fingers and allow it to grip our neck

the burning ovens the burning homes the endless dead we are digging a grave in the sky

human beings reduced to commodity, reduced to automata, engineered slaves

these constraints must be unloosed for a human being to find humanity

where there is choice, there is a crack between the worlds

where there is no choice there is must be steadfast resoluteness, stealth, and conniving.

stalking that crack between the words searching for a fulcrum

"love can outlive death" - not because death is an event which occurs at the point in human being where no possibilities arise.

no possibilities arise in demise. death is our constant companion. death is a constant event.

a substrate. a catalyst facilitating action. death is entropy, the antithesis of art.

demise is pulling the trigger in your mouth. no more possibilities, graph flattens out.

"our lives are not our own - from womb to tomb, past and present. and by each crime and every kindness we both have a future"

I shall not be alone
I shall not be alone
I shall not be alone

time and space collapsed
we navigate by wormhole

Could be. The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet fell flat for me (and for kokiri, us both nippophiles, so what does that tell you) so I'm in no hurry to grab more.

I didn't even bother trying to read that, his stuff that isn't high concept/fantasy kinda sucks for me to be honest.

He certainly does his research though.

If I was a POG mod, I would silently delete 15 random PUB posts of Anarchists right before the bet ends.

It would suddenly be: Surprise!

And I would laugh.
09-23-2013 , 11:49 PM
getting to delete posts in the Haters game was the most fun I've probably ever had on 2+2

War with a skunk would worry me.

My great dane, Tallulah, had many battles with animals. Her favorite was woodchucks, but there were many other species. She even defeated a porcupine (though was damaged in the process).

She fought skunks seven times. I don't think she'd have said she won any of those.

(Yes, I realize kioshk will go about this more sensibly than my dog did; it just brought back memories.)
