Quote of the day

“Die Hysterie ist die unvermeidliche psychopolitische Verfassung durchmediatisierter Populationen. Sie hat sich infolge der nationalstaatlichen Lebensformen überall durchgesezt, wo Menschen es lernen mußten, im Strom medial konstruierter Dauerkommunikationen zu leben und sich auf die rhythmischen Themenwechsel der Zeitgeister einzurichten.” P. Sloterdijk – Nach Gott (S. 311-312)

E timpul să simți că trăiești

… și să te convingi că ai de a face cu o arhitectură complexă de idei și emoții. Fără siropuri, fără mizerabilism. Doar farmec. Și câteva tabuuri. #ficțiuneliterară #mister #dragoste #societate

Abschwörung

Ich schwöre die Liebe ab. Das Einzige worin ich gut war. Das Einzige wozu ich vielleicht etwas taugte – ich schwöre es ab, dieses unendliche Grauen. Nie wieder werde ich in deinem Körper verweilen, noch du in meiner Erinnerung.

Abandon

We had roots. Our roots had roots. Our roots’ roots had roots, but then fall came and our leaves began to fall, one by one to the ground, crackling dry. And in the soil they made we were rooted. But the light called to our children and to our children’s children. They clambered to the…

Quote of the day

“People need their group identification, because this identification protects them, literally, from the terrible forces of the unknown. It is for this reason that every individual who is not decadent will strive to protect his territory, actual and psychological. But the tendency to protect means hatred of the other, and the inevitability of war –…

“Piaget’s value system considers rule by cooperation a more satisfactory equilibration in human relations than rule by authority. (…) Rigid traditionalists assume that the answer to the question ‘what is the good?’ can be – has been – answered permanently, and concretely, with the list of laws. (…) Adherents of tradition rely on the attribution…

“Life without law remains chaotic, affectively intolerable. Life that is pure law becomes sterile, equally unbearable. The domination of chaos or sterility equally breeds murderous resentment and hatred.” Peterson, J. (1999) – Maps of Meaning, p. 397

On strangers and strange ideas: “Arrival of the stranger, concretely presented in mythology, constitutes a “threat to the stability of the kingdom” (…). The stable meaning of experiential events, constrained by the hierarchical structure of group identity, is easily disrupted by the presence of the “other”, who practically poses a concrete threat to the stability…

Anotimpul tăcerii

Septembrie. Băncile tac. Cu ochii ațintiți înainte, oamenii au evadat din birouri și iau prânzul în parc. Răsfirat pe alei, pietrișul e alb. Inflorescențe întârziate îneacă cerul în parfum dulceag. Verdele frunzelor a obosit, a devenit întunecat, îmbibat de prea multe amurguri. Pauza de prânz.Mâinile caută guridoritoare de hrană.Gurile mestecă reflex. Privirile au rămas atârnate…

(…) If the gene-centred view is correct, then evolution is nothing at all to do with ‘us’. We are nothing more than sophisticated robots, constructed over 3.5 billion years of mutation and selection to…
