Got Anything Random To Say

I chose Waterloo Sunset over Lili Marlene for the first time in 2 and a half years. I also did a painting of The Kinks yesterday afternoon. I believe that I should let things happen naturally instead of putting a time limit on coming around. I've also been craving tea more often, lately.

I wish I had a bathroom attached to my bedroom instead of in the basement.

"This is something I almost would feel like putting up as a separate posting to share, but wouldn't know how many ppl would find it relevant nor really how to make it more relevant to ppl. When I first read it,it made cry. Substitute the word "demon" for "fear" here (make an inference btw "fear" and "internal demon(s)" if you feel like it) and you'll see what kind of connotation it took on for me mean,which made cry.

This is a part from the book "Derrida for beginners" by Jim Powell (pgs.162-164)--what was presented after saying (paraphrasing) " that Derrida had to contend with deconstructing emotion for the first time since his childhood"--the tertralemma from the Madhayamika school of Buddhism founded by an early Buddhist teacher,Nagarjuna. The figures drawn to dialogue out the tetralemma were a "wind-cloud" like demon head and a figure which I take to be Nagarjuna.

(pgs.162-164)


A: And that leads to a Buddhist criticism of deconstruction. Madhyamika (Middle-Way) Buddhism is a form of Buddhism that uses some of the same arguements as deconstruction,often angering and confusing both Hindus and other Buddhists with its deconstructive logic. For instance the Middle-way statement that 'The Buddha does not teach anything to anyone at any place' (EE 207), does not deny the historical reality of the Buddha,but questions the seeming thingness of things, people and places. Like Derrida, the Madhyamakins have been accused of nihilism--of teaching nothing exists. But, as a couple of Madhyamika sayings have it, 'When a thing is not found, how can there be a nothing?' (EE 207) Or "I do not negate anything, nor is there anything to negate' ( EE 207)

Nagarjuna: Are you created by yourself?

Demon:No. How could I create myself?

Nagarjuna: Well then, are you created by something other than yourself ?

Demon: How could anything else possibly create me?

Nagarjuna: Then, are you created both by yourself and by something other than yourself?

Demon: Don't be ridiculous!

Nagarjuna: Then, are you created neither by yourself nor by something other than yourself?

Demon: Then I would be created by nothing and that's impossible.

Nagarjuna: Yes it is true. The demon is gone. Where it once was is only emptiness.

(Former demon-a white circle with a black outline talking): Then I cannot locate you logically, so, logically, you must not exist! You are empty of inherent existence! You are empty !.

Nagarjuna: And even emptiness is empty ! !!

[*Poof* goes the former demon]

[*Poof* goes Nagarjuna]

"The tetralemma is a figure that features prominently in the classical logic of India. It states that with reference to any a logical proposition X, there are four possibilities:

X (affirmation)
~ X (negation)
X /\ ~ X (both) equiv.
~ (X V ~X) (neither)

Catuskoti

The history of fourfold negation, the Catuskoti (Sanskrit [ is a logical argument(s) of a 'suite of four discrete functions' or 'an indivisible quaternity' that has multiple applications]), is evident in the logico-epistemological tradition of India, given the categorical nomenclature 'Indian logic' in Western discourse. Subsumed within the auspice of Indian logic, 'Buddhist logic' has been particularly focused in its employment of the fourfold negation, as evidenced by the traditions of Nagarjuna and the Madhyamaka, particularly the school of Madhyamaka given the retroactive nomenclature of Prasangika by the Tibetan Buddhist logico-epistemological tradition.

Wow, already stupidtrons are going to be jumping on the violence in video games causes chaos bandwagon.

Sounds like some people in my family.

I just realized I have had my account here for over 3 years...seems like just yesterday I made it. However, I technically have been lurking here since 2008

You naughty lurker

That distracted "Not breathing to much, watching several Youtube videos " approach while arguably having OCD triggered by the aggravation of job searching online worked out. I got through what I could and it still seems nice outside (~5:15 .p.m. EST).

and even when you have a vacuum where metaphysics are void and null,there is still very much a behavioral human craving for a higher life principle beyond what can be affirmed and recognized by knowledge.Aesthetics;and beauty is one such (seeming? ^u^ ) principle* within aesthetics.

[I giggle at the irony btw the words aesthetics and asctetics and how they are homophonic]

here is "juncture-divergence place" question:do ya wanna go w/art theory or do ya wanna (still stick?) w/philosophy?

This shows in places in world where the regional philosophy has no problem with operating on emptiness..and it can show in "regional brands of materialism" too,I suppose.[/trigger]
