Heidegger's "Being and Time" with Jason Reza Jorjani
Bullshit, maybe. But strangely glib. I like his having a 'Homo Faber,' pseudo-anthropological take on Humankind, which all-knowing "depth" psychologists have not an inkling of : 'Tool/not tool' is, indeed, how I, as a representative of my species, the same as a New Caledonian crow, see things, analyze them, and deconstruct them. Fair enough. But I dispute his Teutonic Scholiast's wrong notion of History and its importance, which apparently he and all other Teutons imbibe like mother's milk from a thousand-titted Hegel/Diana of Ephesus. I had to say it.
I burn hot. I tend to exhaust people in conversation, like Margaret Fuller did Carlyle. Which leaves me (but apparently not Margaret) always wishing I'd shut up sooner. I have quite a few friends and not many enemies, but I'm very proud of the few I do have. There is consensus among my friends about me, which is how I know to write about myself. What my enemies think of me I have no idea. That, of course, could be dangerous.
The list of interests and favorites is absurdly partial and half-assed, particularly as to music and books. It's the stupid format of the blog itself, as given, that, of course, I color outside the lines and burst the seams of.
