'a positive [that] can never encapsulate the negative'

2/21/2021

0 Comments

 
'A major part of 'waking up' is becoming aware of "memetica ecologica."  But as all-encompassing and absorbing as memetica ecologica may be and is, it only represents a "positive" and cannot ever encapsulate "the negative."  

That is, as we live, move, and have our being within an ecology of information, there is always an elusive quality, like trying to hold water in your hand, that ever escapes human quantification.'

-Memento Vivere project notes, 26 Sept 2020

'Dystopias are just as seductive'

2/10/2021

0 Comments

 
'Dystopias are just as seductive as utopias.  These -topias are totalizing, fantastic places in our heads (and may reflect or become our reality) -- heads that are connected to our bodies (which in fact are our bodies) -- that don't adequately map the territory of our experiences, of human experience, let alone observation and experimentation.'

'Ambiguity of the ego'

2/10/2021

0 Comments

 
'The ambiguity of the ego consists in the fact that something that is a part of the world can stand over against the world, and even "possess" or be correlated with the world.'

-R. Sokolowski, Intro to Phenomenology, p. 113
