i find that the only time it's permissible to think is at acute times, when something turns heroism awry - we live in times when toiling in a field of potatoes would be considered a heroism - because something has soured our attempts at heroism... and i can't stress enough how modernity has nibbled at ancient feats of heroism with such a bravado and inactivity, yes: tautology is the curse awaiting us all... what is revelatory about ontology? some would say that oncology says much more concerning man with a doubly impeding temporality than ontology could ever fashion a man with prescription: dogmatism - for one can only ask: can philosophy ever contain a medical property? can philosophy be medicine? i ask because i dare not believe that writing per se is universally adequate in being prescribed - well... biology compared to medicine is a feeble argument, its blunder was attracting a theological posit for an argument to be practised because: it found itself feeble before medicine. the "thinkers" of biology attacked theology after realising biology (a specified conglomerate of words with the vector indicating a depersonalisation of a biography) - but both biology and theology are entrenched with their respective vocabulary caging - no one would win the debate... it became a comparative scenario of first world war trench-warfare on the Belgian plateau... this was an attack on medicine... or what's useful given that biology can be rather useless... i've never seen such desperation of a field of interest: that didn't simultaneously argue from the perspective of jealousy... biology cannot replace theology - but that's beside the point... philosophy is more akin to medicine than any -logy compound specifying limits... auto-suggestive of the convenience that says: man is born stupid, he dies stupid, and he "thinks" he knows everything that's happening in-between. and no... i would never write a populist celebration of war or Achilles... had i not engaged with an actual conflict, i'd write nothing of this sort... and there is a crisis in heroism these days, hardly a reason to equate thinking as a heroic act... but compared with modern heroism, namely what's defined by losing weight and gaining protruding muscular patterns... what's nothing more than paying the gas bill or simply: bringing home the bacon... thinking has become a heroic act in a way, eased to such a conclusion with stalinist obstruction of thought in the first place... we call it political correctness and to be heroic these days means: transcending what is but zoological humanism... because the counterpart of heroism in the purely physical realm is but running a marathon, rather than walking one... attracting bothersome flies of charity, gluttony's reversal... what sort of heroics are these? what's to be celebrated by such feats... if it all culminates into nothing but a pat-on-the-back and not a statue? and by god... don't you think that people who still rummage in language and can't see trilling the R as unfashionable require a diacritical distinction to be added to the letter? but of course, German can sound soft too... but given the English hollowed-out the R and lost the trill, or that the French hark the ****** letter... i'm thinking of how to represent the trill of the R... as the rolling and ravaging roulettes embedded in the comparison of enacted damage, with the stiletto shoe doing more damage than an elephant's stomp.
